ON THE COVER: (background) Self-assembled gold
nanocrystals (diameter, 2.5 nm) embedded in amorphous silicon dioxide
and arranged in fcc packing. (clockwise from bottom) "Switchable"
molecules organized in nanopores can serve as nanovalves that open and
close in response to environmental stimuli (see the article by Brinker
on p. 631; images courtesy of M. Aragon, Sandia National Laboratories).
Room-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy image of an ordered Al
overlayer on Si(111). Image size 30 nm x 30 nm; step height, 0.31 nm (see
the article by Williams on p. 621). High-voltage electron microscopy picture
of a grain-boundary void in 99.999% Cu fatigued at a strain amplitude
of 0.032%, 17 Hz, 405°C for 3.5 x 104 cycles (see the article by Weertman
on p. 616). Partial schematic of the mechanism of exchange bias (see the
article by Schuller on p. 642).
