  • Formation of octahedral shaped PbSe quantum dots at higher synthesis temperature is being reported in this paper. The synthesis includes the reaction between lead oleate and trioctylphosphine selenide under inert gas conditions to produce PbSe. TEM, SEM, XRD and EDS were used to characterize the samples. The SEM exhibited the formation of spherical shaped nanocrystals at temperature below 140 ${^{\circ}C}$ and octahedral shaped nanoparticles at higher temperatures. Moreover, the TEM also showed the well resolved (111) lattice fringes proving that the nanocrystals were crystalline in nature. Synthesis of highly pure PbSe nanocrystals was another interesting aspect of this research.

  • Backside Ar ion milling technique for the preparation of cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) specimens, and backside-ion milling combined with focused ion beam (FIB) operation for electron holography were introduced in this paper. The backside Ar ion milling technique offers advantages in preparing cross-sectional specimens having thin, smooth and uniform surfaces with low surface damages. The back-side ion milling combined with the FIB technique could be used to observe the two-dimensional p-n junction profiles in semiconductors with the sample quality sufficient for an electron holography study. These techniques have useful applications for accurate TEM analysis of the microstructure of materials or electronic devices such as arrayed hole patterns, three-dimensional integrated circuits, and also relatively thick layers (> $1{\mu}m$).

  • Phosrhonium salt exchanged montmorillonites were prepared from a reaction between alkyl triphenyl phosponium bromide and Na$^{+}$-montmorillonite. Epoxy-clay nanocomposites were also prepared by using cycloaliphtic epoxy, methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride as a hardener, and triphenyl butyl phosphonium bromide as an accelerator. TEM and XRD results suggested that clay minerals in the epoxy-montmorillonites composite were intercalated. Mechanical properties such as tensile modulus and strength were measured and the effect of nanocomposite formation was also discussed.

  • The core/shell type structure of the highly crosslinked poly(glycidylmetharylate-co-divinylbenzene) microspheres prepared in the precipitation polymerization in acetonitrile was thoroughly verified by means of swelling, $^1H$ NMR, XPS, TEM and TGA measurements. In the XPS measurement, the higher the GMA content, the higher the oxygen content was observed, implying that the higher content of GMA is observed in the particle surface. The further verification of the core/shell structure of the poly(GMA-co-DVB) particles was carried out using $^1H$ NMR and TEM techniques, resulting in the poly(GMA-co-DVB) particles with the GMA rich-phase and DVB rich-phase. In overall, the poly(GMA-co-DVB) microspheres consist of a highly crosslinked DVB rich-phase in the core and slightly or non-crosslinked GMA rich-phase in the shell part due to the different reaction ratios between two monomers and self-crosslinking density of DVB.

  • In vitro $\beta$-lactamase inhibitory activity of 6-exomethylene sulbactam compounds (CH-120, 130, 140, 145, 150, 155) was compared with clavulanic acid, sulbactam and tazobactam. The inhibitory activity of CH-140 was stronger than sulbactam and clavulanic acid against Type II, III, IV, TEM enzymes and stronger than tazobactam against Type IV enzyme. The inhibitory activity of CH-145 was stronger than sulbactam and clavulanic acid against Type I, II, III, IV, TEM enzymes and stronger than tazobactam against Type III, IV enzymes. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of CH-140 and CH-145 combined with piperacillin and ceftriaxone was compared with the sulbactam and tazobactam against $\beta$-lactamase producing 31 strains. But, synergistic activity of CH-140 and CH-145 was inferior to tazobactam.

  • In this study, polyaniline (PANI)/graphene nanosheet (GNS) composites were synthesized through chemical oxidation polymerization by changing the weight ratio of aniline monomers. To examine the morphological structure of the composites, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were conducted. TEM results revealed that fibril-like PANI with a diameter of 50 nm was homogeneously coated on the surface of the GNS. The electrochemical properties of the composites were studied by cyclic voltammetry in 1 M $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte. Among the prepared samples, the PANI/GNS (having 40 wt% aniline content) showed the highest specific capacitance, 528 $Fg^{-1}$, at 10 $mVs^{-1}$. The improved performance was attributed to the GNS, which provides a large number of active sites and good electrical conductivity. The resulting composites are promising electrode materials for high capacitative supercapacitors.

  • In this paper, the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to analyse the characteristics of the coaxial line transmission coefficent, shielding effectiveness, and compared to results of the moment method. The excitation mode of the Gaussian pulse is assumed to be a TEM-mode instead of the TE or TM-mode and in order to eliminate the reflected wave with in short length of the line. Calculated value of shielding effectiveness of the coaxial line by the FDTD are in good agreement with the results of the moment method.
