The vaporized getter, usually a volatile metal, instantly reacts with any residual gas, and then condenses on the cool walls of the tube in a thin coating, the getter spot or getter mirror, which continues to absorb gas. This is the most common type, used in low-power vacuum tubes. Non-evaporable getter (NEG) [8] The getter remains in solid form.
Metallography allows the metallurgist to study the microstructure of metals. A micrograph of bronze revealing a cast dendritic structure Al-Si microstructure. Microstructure is the very small scale structure of a material, defined as the structure of a prepared surface of material as revealed by an optical microscope above 25× magnification. [1]
Field-emission microscopy (FEM) is an analytical technique that is used in materials science to study the surfaces of needle apexes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The FEM was invented by Erwin Wilhelm Müller in 1936, [ 3 ] and it was one of the first surface-analysis instruments that could approach near- atomic resolution .
The laboratory is divided in seven research teams, which have their own field of research : TMP : Texture, microstructure and process; MeNu : computational mechanics; APLI : Auto-organization, plasticity and intern lengths; 3TAM : transformation, textures, topology and metal anisotropy; SMART : Multi-phased systems, rheology, fatigue and ...
Dark-field microscopy produces an image with a dark background Operating principles of dark-field and phase-contrast microscopies Dark-field microscopy is a very simple yet effective technique and well suited for uses involving live and unstained biological samples, such as a smear from a tissue culture or individual, water-borne, single-celled ...
A magneto-optic effect is any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium that has been altered by the presence of a quasistatic magnetic field. In such a medium, which is also called gyrotropic or gyromagnetic , left- and right-rotating elliptical polarizations can propagate at different speeds ...
Field Metallurgical Replication (FMR), in field metallography, is the use of metallurgical preparation on surfaces in the field, by polishing to a mirror image, along with application of acetate or other thin plastic films designed to nondestructively duplicate the microstructure of a part or structure in-situ. The FMR replica is then ...
Dark-field microscopy (DF), is an alternative method of observation that provides high-contrast images and actually greater resolution than bright-field. In dark-field illumination, the light from features perpendicular to the optical axis is blocked and appears dark while the light from features inclined to the surface, which look dark in BF ...
