Probing of nanocontacts inside a transmission electron microscope

2007

In the past twenty years, powerful tools such as atomic force microscopy have made it possible to accurately investigate the phenomena of friction and wear, down to the nanometer scale. Readers of this book will become familiar with the concepts and techniques of nanotribology, explained by an international team of scientists and engineers, actively involved and with long experience in this field. Edited by two pioneers in the field, 'Fundamentals of Frictions and Wear at the Nanoscale' is suitable both as first introduction to this fascinating subject, and also as a reference for researchers wishing to improve their knowledge of nanotribology and to keep up with the latest results in this …

Spatially-multiplexed interferometric microscopy (SMIM): converting a standard microscope into a holographic one

2014

We report on an extremely simple, low cost and highly stable way to convert a standard microscope into a holographic one. The proposed architecture is based on a common-path interferometric layout where the input plane is spatially-multiplexed to allow reference beam transmission in a common light-path with the imaging branch. As consequence, the field of view provided by the layout is reduced. The use of coherent illumination (instead of the broadband one included in the microscope) and a properly placed one-dimensional diffraction grating (needed for the holographic recording) complete the experimental layout. The proposed update is experimentally validated in a regular Olympus BX-60 upri…

Dopant Contrast in Semiconductors as Interpretation Challenge at Imaging by Electrons

2007

Mechanisms responsible for the contrast between differently doped areas in semiconductors, which is observed in electron micrographs, is discussed as regards the key factors determining the sign and magnitude of the contrast. Experimental data obtained by means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM), scanning low energy electron microscope and photoelectron emission microscope are reviewed together with hints following from them for compilation of a model of the contrast mechanism.

The future of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in biology and medicine.

2000

1996

The uses of atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, electron spectroscopic imaging, electron energy loss spectroscopy and low voltage, high resolution scanning electron microscopy in polymer research are reviewed

Do as the Romans do: On the authoritarian roots of pseudoscience

2020

Recent research highlights the implications of group dynamics in the acceptance and promotion of misconceptions, particularly in relation to the identity-protective attitudes that boost polarisation over scientific information. In this study, we successfully test a mediational model between right-wing authoritarianism and pseudoscientific beliefs. First, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on the socio-political background of pseudoscientific beliefs. Second, we conduct two studies (n=1189 and n=1097) to confirm our working hypotheses: H1 – intercorrelation between pseudoscientific beliefs, authoritarianism and three axioms (reward for application, religiosity and fate control); …

Per gli antichi chiostri. Monache e badesse nella Palermo medievale

2020

Il libro inquadra la storia degli otto monasteri femminili fondati a Palermo tra l’XI e il XIV secolo sul piano sociale, economico e culturale, ricostruendo le vicende fondative, il patrimonio, il profilo di monache e badesse. All’atto della fondazione i monasteri ricevettero beni di diversa entità, concentrati nella città e nel territorio di Palermo, che divennero il principale cespite finanziario. Solo la metà dei monasteri ebbe in dotazione un feudo che forniva i prodotti agro-pastorali indispensabili per il fabbisogno interno. La monacazione era considerata la forma di esistenza più alta e perfetta; inoltre, le doti monastiche erano di gran lunga inferiori a quelle matrimoniali e consen…
