Epitaxy Is the Method Used to Create the Multicolored, Rainbow Coatings in Human Samples en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitaxial"Epitaxy refers to the method of depositing a monocrystalline film on a monocrystalline substrate. The deposited film is denoted as epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The term epitaxy comes from the Greek roots epi, meaning "above", and taxis, meaning "in ordered manner". It can be translated "to arrange upon". (** INSERT MASSENA'S MULTICOLORED COATED 'INFECTION BULB' HERE **) Epitaxial films may be grown from gaseous or liquid precursors. Because the substrate acts as a seed crystal, the deposited film takes on a lattice structure and orientation identical to those of the substrate. This is different from other thin-film deposition methods which deposit polycrystalline or amorphous films, even on single-crystal substrates. If a film is deposited on a substrate of the same composition, the process is called homoepitaxy; otherwise it is called heteroepitaxy. Homoepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with only one material. In homoepitaxy, a crystalline film is grown on a substrate or film of the same material. This technology is applied to growing a more purified film than the substrate and fabricating layers with different doping levels. Heteroepitaxy is a kind of epitaxy performed with materials that are different from each other. In heteroepitaxy, a crystalline film grows on a crystalline substrate or film of another material. This technology is often applied to growing crystalline films of materials of which single crystals cannot be obtained and to fabricating integrated crystalline layers of different materials. Examples include gallium nitride (GaN) on sapphire or aluminium gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) on gallium arsenide (GaAs). Heterotopotaxy is a process similar to heteroepitaxy except for the fact that thin film growth is not limited to two dimensional growth. Here the substrate is similar only in structure to the thin film material. Epitaxy is used in silicon-based manufacturing processes for BJTs and modern CMOS, but it is particularly important for compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide. Manufacturing issues include control of the amount and uniformity of the deposition's resistivity and thickness, the cleanliness and purity of the surface and the chamber atmosphere, the prevention of the typically much more highly doped substrate wafer's diffusion of dopant to the new layers, imperfections of the growth process, and protecting the surfaces during the manufacture and handling."

DO THE CRYSTALS PHOTOGRAPHED SO FAR HAVE A CONSTANT CONFIGURATION THAT MAKES THEM IDENTIFABLE?
Crystal Structure "In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A crystal structure is composed of a motif, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way, and a lattice. Motifs are located upon the points of a lattice, which is an array of points repeating periodically in three dimensions. The points can be thought of as forming identical tiny boxes, called unit cells, that fill the space of the lattice. The lengths of the edges of a unit cell and the angles between them are called the lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group. A crystal's structure and symmetry play a role in determining many of its properties, such as cleavage, electronic band structure, and optical properties. Unit cellThe crystal structure of a material or the arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure can be described in terms of its unit cell. The unit cell is a tiny box containing one or more motifs, a spatial arrangement of atoms. The unit cells stacked in three-dimensional space describe the bulk arrangement of atoms of the crystal. The crystal structure has a three dimensional shape. The unit cell is given by its lattice parameters, the length of the cell edges and the angles between them, while the positions of the atoms inside the unit cell are described by the set of atomic positions (xi,yi,zi) measured from a lattice point. Although there are an infinite number of ways to specify a unit cell, for each crystal structure there is a conventional unit cell, which is chosen to display the full symmetry of the crystal (see below). Classification of crystals by symmetryThe defining property of a crystal is its inherent symmetry, by which we mean that under certain 'operations' the crystal remains unchanged. For example, rotating the crystal 180 degrees about a certain axis may result in an atomic configuration which is identical to the original configuration. The crystal is then said to have a twofold rotational symmetry about this axis. In addition to rotational symmetries like this, a crystal may have symmetries in the form of mirror planes and translational symmetries, and also the so-called compound symmetries which are a combination of translation and rotation/mirror symmetries. A full classification of a crystal is achieved when all of these inherent symmetries of the crystal are identified. [1]"

The 14 Bravais Lattices When the crystal systems are combined with the various possible lattice centerings, we arrive at the Bravais lattices. Bravais lattices in 2DIn two dimensions, there are five Bravais lattices. They are oblique, rectangular, centered rectangular, hexagonal, and square.[2]

QUOTE=Jeany - What is a Semiconductor?
- Importance of Semiconductors
- Types of Semiconductors
- How they are Made?
- How does a Semiconductor Work ?
- Properties of Semiconductors
[/LEFT] Basics of SemiconductorsThe magic word semiconductor is composed of two words-Semi and Conductor. Semi means not completely while conductor mean something, which can conduct electricity. Everybody is familiar with "Electricity". It is present everywhere; it runs many appliances in your home and outside the home like TV, Bulb, Freeze, and Microwave Oven etc. In simple terms, the current must past through wires so that the electricity can reach all these appliances. So a conductor is nothing but a material having ability to conduct this electricity.To understand the importance of semiconductors let's first understand the difference between electricity and electronics. Both are concerned with generating, transferring, and utilizing electrical energy. The chief difference is that electricity is concerned with using that electrical energy in power applications for heat, light, and motors Semiconductors are employed in the manufacture of electronic devices and integrated circuits. Imagine life without electronic devices. There would be no radios, no TV's, no computers, no video games, and poor medical diagnostic equipment. Silicon and Germanium are the most common elemental semiconductors.Most of the semiconductor devices and chips are created with silicon. The commonly heard expressions like "Silicon Valley" and the "Silicon Economy" come from this fact. In the periodic table, you will find that silicon sits next to aluminum, below carbon and above germanium. Carbon, silicon and germanium have a unique property in their electron structure -- each has four electrons in its outer orbital. This allows them to form nice crystals. In silicon, the crystalline form is a silvery, metallic-looking substance. Metals tend to be good conductors of electricity because they usually have "free electrons" that can move easily between atoms, and electricity involves the flow of electrons. While silicon crystals look metallic, they are not, in fact, metals. You can change the behavior of silicon and turn it into a conductor by doping it. In doping, you mix a small amount of an impurity into the silicon crystal. A minute amount of either N-type or P-type doping turns a silicon crystal from a good insulator into a viable (but not great) conductor -- hence the name "semiconductor." Electrons have a negative charge. Holes have a positive charge. Electrons and holes are not static: they can move. Holes move more slowly than electrons. **So..this is the connection to metals, electrical charging, silicon and crystals? hmm... Jeany

Another metal to be tested for: QUOTE=Jeany GermaneGermane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGermane is the chemical compound with the formula GeH4, and the germanium analogue of methane. It is the simplest germanium hydride and one of the most useful compounds of germanium. Like the related compounds silane and methane, germane is tetrahedral. It burns in air to produce GeO2 and water.
The chemical reduction method involves reacting a germanium-containing compound such as elemental germanium, germanium tetrachloride, or germanium dioxide with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride, lithium aluminium hydride, sodium aluminium hydride, lithium hydride, sodium hydride, or magnesium hydride. The reaction can be carried out in either aqueous or in an organic solvent. The gas decomposes near 600K to germanium and hydrogen. Because of its thermal lability, germane is used in the semiconductor industry for the epitaxial growth of germanium by MOVPE or chemical beam epitaxy. Germane is flammable, potentially pyrophoric, and toxic.Jeany

quote=Jeany Kam*, not sure if you have posted this yet...I'll just add it here...
Germanium
Germanium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGermanium (pronounced /dʒərˈmeɪniəm/) is a chemical element with the symbol Ge and atomic number 32. It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Because few minerals contain it in large concentration, germanium was discovered comparatively late despite the fact that it is relatively abundant in the Earth's crustGermanium is an important semiconductor material used in transistors and various other electronic devices.
Its major end uses are fiber-opticinfrared optics, but it is also used for polymerization systems and catalysts, in electronics and in solar electric applications. Germanium is mined primarily from sphalerite, though it is also recovered from silver, lead, and copper ores. Some germanium compounds, such as germanium chloride and germane, can irritate the eyes, skin, lungs, and throat.Under standard conditions germanium is a brittle, silvery-white, semi-metallic element. This form constitutes an allotrope technically known as α-germanium, which has a metallic luster and a diamond cubic crystal structure, the same as diamond. Along with silicon, gallium, bismuth, antimony, and water, it is one of the few substances that expands as it solidifies (i.e. freezes) from its molten state. The most notable physical characteristics of germania (GeO2) are its high index of refraction and its low optical dispersion.
These make it especially useful for wide-angle camera lenses, microscopy, and for the core part of optical fibers. ** It also replaced titania as the silica dopant for silica fiber, eliminating the need for subsequent heat treatment, which made the fibers brittle.
Germanium dioxide is also used in catalysts for polymerisation in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The high brilliance of the produced polyester is especially used for PET bottles marketed in Japan. **this leads us to bottled water, again!! U.S. Food and Drug Administration research has concluded that germanium, when used as a nutritional supplement, "presents potential human health hazard" Germanium is not thought to be essential to the health of plants or animals. Some of its compounds present a hazard to human health, however. For example, germanium chloride and germane (GeH4) are a liquid and gas, respectively, that can be very irritating to the eyes, skin, lungs, and throat.Fig.1. Scanning electron microscope image of as-synthesized germanium-silicon oxide nanotubes and transmission electron micrograph (inset) showing a single nanotube.** ** and this leads us to fiber optics and Nano!WOW..it fits perfectly together, don't you think?ff,Kat WTG! Jeany**, that's another Mercury-looking suspect, that brings things to together to consider. Good work!

Here's some chemical analysis from Rense.com, it doesn't look like any metals were tested for, except iron and nickel: @ Morgellons #7"5. Sample 13263-1 has within its nanotube an outline of a pre-Morgellon like structure known as "Goldenhead". Note the extremely high amount of calcium 69.994%, sulfur 1.517 %, chlorine 18.129%, potassium 5.559% and iron 4.801%, and NO silica. Note the outline of a "Goldenhead" with distinct features of a muzzle like a wolf at 3 o'clock. SEM is at 1,500x and scale of 20 microns. 6. Sample 13263-2 (no SEM picture). Note the extremely high amount of potassium 30.222%, calcium 12.905%, iron 18.442%, sulfur 11.117%, chlorine 21.567% and silica 5.767%. A general question of these EDS data as compared to Sample 13263-1 is that the calcium makes the nanotube, thus when it breaks down by the surrounding bio terrain, it will produce a carbon-silica nanowire or a silica wire. 7. Sample 13263-3 (no SEM picture). Note the extremely high amount of iron 41.515%, silica 12.999, sulfur 8.791%, chlorine 16.403%, potassium 13.406% and calcium 6.885%. If silica percentage rising 12.999% as compared to Sample 13263-1 then a more defined carbon-silica or silica wire is being formed. The high value of iron 41.515%, sulfur, chloride, potassium in the presence of oxygen to form iron oxides and other transitional oxides/ -OH an electro-magnetic continuous electrical cell could be formed which would be commonly known as a "battery". The higher developed pre Morgellons "Goldenhead" would then not need a nanotube but would be allowed to move within the body freely, especially under the skin."

We are assuming, based on intelligent information gathering and along with the visual metallic looks in my and Baraka's samples - that we have some sort of heavy metal or metal poisioning. We can look at many of our symptoms that match this description, such as, lethargy, exhaustion, chronic fatigue, mind fog, paralysis of the central and perpherpial nervous systems, ADD-like characteristics, not being able to function with our daily living chores, etc.
Until some of us can get heavy metal testing and report our findings, we're going with this assumption.
Jeany and I are recommending that you start a heavy metal detox, chelation supplement therapy using either, EDTA, Chlorella, or "Heavy Metal Detox" by N.S. and to eat more cilantro. Cilantro is known to remove lead, alumimium, and nickel from the system, maybe others?
Activated Charcoal might be beneficial to add to the Metal Detox for those who are experiencing severe fatigue symptoms?

LymeBusters - Fibers - Possible Cause from Toilet Paper2/6/2009 Part 7 of: Horizontal Inheritance with GM Trees and Toilet Paper Causing Morgellons Fibers and Disease
COMPARISON OF PINE POLLEN BIOLOGY AND MORGELLONS LESIONS For those of you who may not be aware of the Morgellons lesions in which the ears and scalp are emitting various and numerous particles, have a stem-like tube that cannot easily be removed. It has been described as like pulling a tooth to get it out, it is made up of a cartridge-like material, that is somewhat elastic, it appears to have roots embedded down into the skin, and no amount of physical force with just the hands or fingers is going to get it to come out. I am concentrating solely on the ears at this time because, I haven't seen another body part in which these characteristics are happening. There is a very complex life cycle system happening in this process. It is very hard to describe. Possibly others of you who have had severe issues with your ears can leave us some descriptive posts? This funnel-like, stem, tube, growth - appears to be the source from which all of the black and white specks/seeds/pollen are coming from. It will be open at the top and these seeds will emit by the thousands. If you scratch this top layer of seeds away from the opening, they will return to the top within a short amount of time to replace what was just removed. From the inside, lesions will produce a 'goo' which will cover the entire tube, and surrounding area. This yellow 'goo', has been reported to me, because I cannot see it, by someone who was nursing my ears, to be stacked layers, staggered one upon each other, such as the way that scales appear on a fish. It becomes hardened as if a layer of armor is being placed on something for protection, and this 'goo' build-up cannot easily be removed. I have actually had my ear to split open, numerous times, and start emitting the thousands of seeds/pollen. It develops a 'natural' split, as if it has been surgically cut, and this split runs all the way down the length of the pinna portion of the ear. It does not bleed when this slit is open, nor does it bleed when I take my fingernail and try to remove the various debris particles, which I will describe in further detail later, that are being emitted. When I start reading about pine cones in this 'basic' article below, a couple of things 'hit' me: www.wnrmag.com/stories/1996/dec96/cones.htm "The hardened, dark brown cones are the females. These cones consist of a woody stalk surrounded by overlapping, stiff, shingle-like scales. Behind each scale is a bract, a small, flat modified leaf. Depending on the tree species, the bract may be hidden within the cone or extend well beyond each scale, like the western Douglas fir cones. When the tree is ready to be pollinated, it secretes a small amount of fluid that collects in the narrow crevices between the scales. At the same time, the mature male pine cone releases a heavy dusting of yellow pollen." This definition at Wikipedia, when searching on "pollen tube" - further gives me reason to draw a better informed conclusion: Pollen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"When placed on the stigma of a flowering plant, under favorable circumstances, a pollen grain puts forth a pollen tube which grows down the tissue of the style to the ovary, and makes its way along the placenta, guided by projections or hairs, to the micropyle of an ovule. The nucleus of the tube cell has meanwhile passed into the tube, as does also the generative nucleus which divides (if it hasn't already) to form two sperm cells. The sperm cells are carried to their destination in the tip of the pollen-tube." There are too many coincidences happening here between pollen, the pollen tube, and Morgellons lesions to ignore. There are too many things happening that are similar, once again remember that possible, "Horizontal Inheritance or Gene Transfer" is involved in this process, and what is happening with the Morgellons legions and the natural biological entity - may not be the exact characteristics of this form, as what was written in the textbooks. This correlation needs to be looked at more closely by a plant biologist who has "Type 1 or is a Primary Carrier" or is very familiar with Morgellons, to draw a better conclusion. The key words between my description of the 'housing lesions' and the quoted definitions on pollen above are: pollen, tube, pollen tube, "grows down the tissue", hairs, "return to the top", scales, and yellow. I also read where they 'split open' to release these pollen. Since the pollen under our skin is in a proliferating state most of the time, let us seriously question that our lesions' 'housings', circular and tube-like - are possibly very similar or what is known in plant biology as a "pollen tube"?Watch this video by Experimenter Baraka, this is showing the pollen moving down the tube, this was taken of his urine:

Mushrooms Growing Inside Morgellons Lesion Biofilm? It has been noted that in my hundreds of microscopic photographs the human Morgellons biofilm contains most all of the various parts that make up the disease. The biofilm is acting as a goo-like womb in which all things can reproduce or live. It has come to my attention in the many, many photographs of the biofilm that it appears to be emitting a 'fan-like' appendage which is very similar in nature to what is known as a Polypore. PolyporePhoto from Wikipedia: Polypore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Polypores are a group of tough, leathery poroid mushrooms similar to boletes, but typically lacking a distinct stalk. The technical distinction between the two types of mushrooms is that polypores do not have the spore-bearing tissue continuous along the entire underside of the mushroom. Many polypores are bracket fungi. The polypore growth form exists in many different evolutionary lines of higher basidiomycetes. Although many polypore species are members of the Polyporales, there are many polypores that belong to other groups as well. Polypores are often found on rotting logs[1], and are rot-resistant to the extent that they themselves often last long enough to have moss growing on them." Polyporales Polyporales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Polyporales (earlier known as Aphyllophorales) are important decomposers of wood. They are basidiomycetes that lack soft gills (lamellae), but are also hymenomycetes as are boletes and agarics. This assemblage of fungi is polyphyletic. Polyporales have a smooth hymenophore, or have pores such as the boletes, or teeth, or irregular gills. Major groups are the polypores and various coral fungi." Below are cultured in nutriet agar from an ear lesion @ 100x and 450x, these polypores are coming from the biofilms in the petri dish: [/img] my-stuff-dot-com.com/My Stuff/Personal/Morgellons/My Photos/Master/Experiment 2/3 29 09 Left Ear Exp 2/03_29_52.JPEG[/img] [/CENTER] Conclusion:1. I am suggesting that the polypores found in nature on decaying trees are being incorporated into the paper making process and thier properties are also, along with the other Morgellons pathogens, getting into the human body. This is a fungal pathogen in common.The forestry sciences have used pollution, in that more chemicals are required to pulp a solid tree in the paper making process than one with a weaker, softer center. In the conception of the science, that weakening of the wood of the tree to speed up the pulping process has been the main justification by scientists for genetically modifying trees. 2. Or, to shorten the time which a tree turns into pulp process which needs the wood to decay quicker to keep from using so many chemicals and causing more pollution, man has made a polypore solution that is being added to the pulp at some point in the paper making process. 3. Or, man is artificially injecting the trees with polypores to speed up the decay process prior to pulping. Or, we might be seeing a combination of these practices happening as observed by human Morgellons biofilm samples. This is a similar growth found in cultured Toilet Paper debris: my-stuff-dot-com.com/My Stuff/Personal/Morgellons/My Photos/Other/TP/5 9 09 4 26/05_09_18.JPEG[/img] Article written today @ Morgellons Researchers

This appears to be an exact physical match to what I have been describing as the "pearl colored" biofilm in my past descriptions in the photo comparisions thread, of the pathogens in the Petri Dishes. I mistakenly identified it as a 'biofilm' earlier - from the shiny way it looks. There were several references made to the 'pearl colored'. (I will bring in photos of the actual dish by digital photography later for comparison.) Bacillus Subtilis Bacillus subtilis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaColonies of B. subtilis grown on a culture dish in a molecular biology laboratory. "B. subtilis is used as a soil inoculant in horticulture and agriculture.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Howie - we are 'on' this P.a., already. We have some very, very interesting news about this particular bacteria that I will be publishing soon. Kat and I now have the capability to look at the microscopic slides and data BEFORE we publish, to more closely scrutinize what is said. I have a new, YouTube out that we believe shows this bacteria reproducing and it in several stages. At the beginning, it shows it as like a deflated balloon and behind it - it has left a trail of biofilm and 'babies'. I believe this is just one of many ways this bacteria reproduces, I have many photos of it using various methods of reproduction, these methods have not been verified yet. At the end of the video - it shows an immature coccus seed that is 'sitting' on a more mature 'fuzzier' one that I believe is in a more advanced stage. I did something unusual to my ear to finally get this pathogen to reveal itself in this manner, cultured June 5th, after 6 weeks of diflucan (no fungus present), and one week of Levaquin - only 2 or so 'fibers' in the dish, this video represents 3 weeks growth, photographed at 300x: Howie - How did YOU come to your conclusion that this bacteria might be involved?... @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUUen0Chwms

Pseudomonas aeruginosa OK, what's going on? Are we introducing a new pathogen... no, this guy has been here all along. Due to the nature of what we're dealing with - I'm going to make some mistakes. I'm now thinking that this is what was earlier identified as 'Crypto' and then changed to 'Peridiscaceae'. That we've been looking at a bacteria all this time. Input please? I added an experimental solution to my ear right before I cultured it to see what effect this solution would have on the growth. This caused all the 'others' to be missing, or the medicines I had just taken caused this? and allowed this one main, what I have been calling a 'seed' pathogen to be primary in the dish. This pathogen starts out as a salt crystal. It is an exact match to the wikipedia dish growth photo. That by the other factors being in the dish previously, what it appeared to be visually, (the white circular connected growths) was masked by the other pathogen's influences? P. aeruginosa on an XLD agar plate. I took this dish to an ENT yesterday, already suspecting P.a. from a visual match,, which he verified that it was this pathogen by visual inspection, it has a distinct odor, he said, he looked and seemed very familiar with this pathogen, especially, recognized the odor (smells like a musty basement in the dish) and is treating me with internal and topical ciproflaxin, diflucan and an over-the-counter topical, anti-fungal for athlete's feet. The solution also allowed its distinct odor to be noticeable, which in the past - was not. I have just finished 16 days of Biaxin and Quensyl, in which I cultured once again, prior to the Ciproflaxin, which I just started. The results of the Biaxin/Quensyl culture will be noted, also. To be specific, the ENT did not send my dish to a lab, nor did he culture my ear. I have no lab documentation to verify these findings. I am being treated for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of my ear.
