The role of silica and alkaline earth metals with biomolecules in the biomineralization processes: the eggshell's formation and the crystallization in vivo for x-ray crystallography
Publication date: Available online 17 January 2020Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Nerith Rocío Elejalde-Cadena, Mayra Cuéllar-Cruz, Abel MorenoAbstractThis contribution is a scientific journey divided into three parts. In the first part, we review the role that silica biomorphs of alkaline earth metals have played in the formation of complex structures as a reminiscence of the chemistry of the primitive life on Earth. These biomorphs, and their variety of forms synthesized by simple chemical reactions, can nowadays be experimentally used to explain some mechanisms of biomine...

Growth and characterization of two-dimensional crystals for communication and energy applications
Publication date: Available online 1 November 2019Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, Sourabh BaruaAbstractThis review article covers the growth and characterization of two-dimensional (2D) crystals of transition metal chalcogenides, h-BN, graphene, etc. The chemical vapor transport method for bulk single crystal growth is discussed in detail. Top-down methods like mechanical and liquid exfoliation and bottom-up methods like chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy for mono/few-layer growth are described. The optimal characterization techniques ...

Preferred crystallographic orientation of nanocrystals embedded inside nanopores
Publication date: Available online 23 October 2019Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Hanna Bishara, Shlomo BergerAbstractThe preferred crystallographic orientation of nanocrystals plays a significant role in determining their properties. From the wide variety of nanocrystal growth techniques, we focus in this paper on crystal growth by precipitation from liquid solutions inside porous substrates, and discuss the progress that has been made during the last decade concerning the control of crystal growth direction through this method. In this overview, the motivation and principal ...

Hair growth at a solid-liquid interface as a protein crystal without cell division
Publication date: Available online 15 April 2019Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Jun-ichi Chikawa, Masaichi Bandou, Ken Tabuchi, Katsuhiko Tani, Hisashi Saji, Yozo TakasakiAbstractConcentrations of elements in single hair samples were evaluated by X-ray fluorescence by scanning with a narrow beam in the growth direction. Zn binds to the hair protein molecules, and is distributed uniformly from hair tip to root bulb by steady-state growth. To avoid the effect of thickness variation for the bulb, the hair elements were evaluated as the amount per protein molecule using the hair [...

Design, growth and characterization of PbTe-based thermoelectric materials
In this report, the design and growth of the PbTe-based materials solidified from the melt for thermoelectric applications as well as the results of their thermoelectric characterizations will be reviewed. It shows that, besides its Figure of Merit comparable to other processing methods, the melt grown PbTe material has several additional capabilities, including the reproducibility, thermal stability and the functional gradient characteristics from the variation of properties along the growth length.

Mechanism for generating interstitial atoms by thermal stress during silicon crystal growth
Publication date: Available online 8 February 2019Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Takao Abe, Toru Takahashi, Koun ShiraiAbstractIt has been known that, in growing silicon from melts, vacancies (Vs) predominantly exist in crystals obtained by high-rate growth, while interstitial atoms (Is) predominantly exist in crystals obtained by low-rate growth. To reveal the cause, the temperature distributions in growing crystal surfaces were measured. From this result, it was presumed that the high-rate growth causes a small temperature gradient between the growth interface and the inter...

FIBSIMS: A review of secondary ion mass spectrometry for analytical dual beam focussed ion beam instruments
Publication date: Available online 18 December 2018Source: Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of MaterialsAuthor(s): Lex Pillatsch, Fredrik Östlund, Johann MichlerAbstractSecondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is a well-known technique for 3D chemical mapping at the nanoscale, with detection sensitivity in the range of ppm or even ppb. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is the standard chemical analysis and imaging technique in modern scanning electron microscopes (SEM), and related dual-beam focussed ion beam (FIBSEM) instruments. Contrary to the use of an electron beam, in the past the ion beam in F...
