Detection and analysis of the microdistribution of uranium in the gills of freshwater Corbicula fluminea by SIMS technique

The microdistribution of uranium in the gills of freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea following chronic direct exposure to this radioelement has been investigated using the SIMS technique. Different exposure levels and exposure durations have been studied. The SIMS mass spectra and ²³⁸U⁺ ion images produced with a SIMS CAMECA 4F-E7 show an U accumulation with the lower aqueous U concentration (20 μg/L) and the influence of the exposure levels on the bioaccumulation capacities. Furthermore, the ionic images display a heterogeneous distribution of uranium within the gill structure whatever the exposure conditions are. This study, in keeping with the ENVIRHOM French research program, was led to the conclusion that ion microscopy is an appropriate analytical method for trace elements and can give elemental cartography in a biological tissue section.     

ToF‐SIMS investigation of epoxy resin curing reaction at different resin to hardener ratios

Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) and principal components analysis (PCA) were used to analyze diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) epoxy resin blend cured with isophorone diamine (IPD) hardener at different resin to hardener ratios. The aim was to establish correlations between the hardener concentration and the nature and progress of the crosslinking reaction. Insights into the cured resin structure revealed using ToF‐SIMS are discussed. Three sets of significant secondary ions have been identified by PCA. Secondary ions such as C₁₄H₇O⁺, CHO⁺, CH₃O⁺, and C₂₁H₂₄O₄⁺ showed variance related to the completion of the curing reaction. Relative intensities of C_xH_yN_z⁺ ions in the cured resin samples are indicative of the un‐reacted and partially reacted hardener molecules, and are found to be proportional to the resin to hardener mixing ratio. The relative ion intensities of the aliphatic hydrocarbon ions are shown to relate to the cured resin crosslinking density. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

XPS and SIMS characterization

XPS study V₂O₅–WO₃/TiO₂ mixed oxide catalysts for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NO_x carried out by researchers from ten different laboratories shows good reproducibility of the chemical shift results. The binding energies of the corresponding core level spectra allow us to identify the chemical states of main elements as Ti(IV), V(V) and W(VI). No other oxidation states for these elements were observed both for fresh/used and for crushed/monolith samples. Discrepancy in quantitative data can be proposed to arise from the heterogeneity of their composition as a function of depth. This suggestion is confirmed by SIMS data and ion etching experiments which indicate surface location of V₂O₅ phase, as well as impurity ones, with respect to TiO₂ and WO₃ and their redistribution as result of catalyst operation.

Mass spectrometry imaging for the proteomic study of clinical tissue

Over the last decade, MALDI-MS imaging has been used by researchers to explore areas of proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics in samples of clinical origin for both targeted and global biomarker analysis. Numerous technological advancements in MS and clinical tissue MS imaging have been accomplished; hence, in this article we aim to critically discuss whether MS imaging has now in fact become a true champion of the ‘Omics Era’. In order to assess the potential for it to be routinely used in the clinical setting, it is pertinent to discuss some of its limitations, and to examine how these have been addressed by researchers. The key limitations of the technique we will discuss in this viewpoint article are as follows: sample throughput; relevance to patients, the availability of validated/standardised techniques; and integration with conventional pathology and other medical imaging techniques. Good progress has been made over the last 5 years in overcoming these limitations that had previously restricted the use of this technology in the clinical setting.

Structural and compositional characterization of LiNbO3 crystals implanted with high energy iron ions

Iron ions were implanted with a total fluence of 6 × 10¹⁷ ions/m² into lithium niobate crystals by way of a sequential implantation at different energies of 95, 100 and 105 MeV respectively through an energy retarder Fe foil to get a uniform Fe doping of about few microns from the surface. The implanted crystals were then annealed in air in the range 200-400 °C for different durations to promote the crystalline quality that was damaged by implantation. In order to understand the basic phenomena underlying the implantation process, compositional in-depth profiles obtained by the secondary ion mass spectrometry were correlated to the structural properties of the implanted region measured by the high resolution X-ray diffraction depending on the process parameters. The optimised preparation conditions are outlined in order to recover the crystalline quality, essential for integrated photorefractive applications.     

Limitation of Na-H codoping in achieving device-quality p-type ZnO

Na-H in-situ codoping in single crystalline ZnO films was carried out by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy. It is found that Na-H codoping dramatically enhances the formation of substitutional Na (Na_Zn) in ZnO lattice due to the unchanged Fermi level. The annealing temperature needed to kick out H, however, is very high, which would concurrently result in a notable decrease of Na concentration to its solution limit in ZnO, namely, in the range of 10¹⁷ cm⁻³. Our results suggest that Na-H codoping method has a limited effect on enhancing the p-type conductivity of ZnO.
