The adsorption of bromine on Ni(110) has been studied by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). At low bromine coverage 'butterfly' structures are observed in STM, built up from 'pairs of pairs' of greyscale maxima. Two alternative models for the butterflies are discussed, the most plausible of which involves location of dissociated Br atoms in two-fold hollow sites flanked by pairs of Ni adatoms. At higher coverages the discrete butterfly structure breaks down and adatom pairs form a disordered arrangement on the surface. Annealing a Br-saturated surface to 200 degrees C for Ih leads to formation of a well-ordered p(3 x2) reconstruction that produces sharp superstructure spots in LEED. The superstructure involves alternating rows with atomic sequences Ni-Br-Br-Ni-Br-Br-Ni and Br-Ni-Ni-Br-Ni-Ni-Br. The binding of Br butterflies to Ni(110) at low coverage is too strong to allow facile manipulation with the tip of the STM. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V, All rights reserved.

Effect of synthesis parameters on the surface morphology of conducting polypyrrole films Kaynak, A (1997-03-01) Surface morphology of polypyrrole films was investigated by using atomic force and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Synthesis parameters such as dopant concentration and synthesis time and subsequent heat treatment were found to affect the surface morphology of electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films. Mean height, root-mean-square roughness, and nodule diameter increased with increasing dopant concentration and synthesis time. Lightly doped, semiconducting films had smoother surface morpholo...
Interactions of tamoxifen with distearoyl phosphatidylcholine multilamellar vesicles: FTIR and DSC studies Bilge, Duygu; ŞAHİN, İPEK; KAZANCI, NADİDE; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-15) Interactions of a non-steroidal antiestrogen drug, tamoxifen (TAM), with distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DSPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of drug concentration (1-15 mol%) by using two noninvasive techniques, namely Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). FTIR spectroscopy results show that increasing TAM concentrations (except 1 mol%) increased the wavenumbers of the CH2 stretching modes, implying an disord...
Effect of Sn Alloying on the Diffusion Bonding Behavior of Al-Mg-Si Alloys Atabay, SILA ECE; Esen, Ziya; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2017-07-01) Effect of Sn as an alloying element on the diffusion-bonding behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloy has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical testing of the diffusion-bonded joint. XRD results revealed the formation of Mg2Sn and (Sn) phases during solidification following induction casting. DSC results showed local liquid (Sn) formation during the bonding process for Sn-containing alloys, where its amount was found to...
Effect of the Cu Alloying on the Precipitation Behavior of Al-Mg-Si Alloys Özer, Seren; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (null; 2018-10-27) In the present study, the effect of varying amounts of copper (Cu) addition on the kinetics of the precipitation behavior of heat treatable 6000 series Al-Mg-Si alloys have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers microhardness measurements. Presence of Cu can greatly enhance the mechanical properties, particularly strength and hardness by refining the precipitate distribution and increasing the stability o...
Initial stages of SiGe epitaxy on Si(001) studied by scanning tunneling microscopy Oral, Ahmet (1995-01-20) We have studied the initial stages of strained SiGe alloy growth on the Si(001)(.)(2 X 1) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy. The Si0.36Ge0.64 alloy was grown on the silicon substrate at various coverages (0.13-3.6 ML) and at different temperatures (similar to 310-470 degrees C). The growth was one dimensional, preferring the direction perpendicular to the underlying silicon dimer rows at low coverages and low temperatures. Anti-phase boundaries were observed to lead multi-layer growth. Strong interac...
