Tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. The experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. Tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°C and 430°C and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°C, in the downstream of argon gas flow. The products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

A powder library of layered Li(Ni,Co,Ti)O2 (Ni ≤ 0.8, Ti ≤ 0.2) compounds was prepared by electrostatic spray deposition. From powder x-ray diffraction patterns, most of the powder library sintered at 700 ○C was indexed as a single phase belonging to the space group R[Formula: see text]m. These results were almost identical to those obtained from a study by combinatorial exploration. We investi...

An organic nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystal has been synthesized by slow solvent evaporation technique from aqueous solutions of L-serine and sodium fluoride (NaF) at ambient temperature. The grown crystal was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The powder X-ray diffraction of the grown crystal was recorded and indexed. The functional groups of the grown crystals were ...

In this research, calcium titanate nanoparticles have been synthesized via mechanical alloying (MA). By changing the parameters of mechanical alloying, optimal conditions for synthesis of this compound was determined. For synthesis of this compound, a mixture of calcium hydroxide and titanium dioxide, rotation speed of 250 rpm and differnet ball to powder weight ratio was used. Phase investigat...

High energy 2D X-ray powder diffraction experiments are widely used for lattice strain measurement. The 2D to 1D conversion of diffraction patterns is a necessary step used to prepare the data for full pattern refinement, but is inefficient when only peak centre position information is required for lattice strain evaluation. The multi-step conversion process is likely to lead to increased error...

Precise knowledge of X-ray diffraction profile shape is crucial in the investigation of the properties of matter in crystals powder. Line-broadening analysis is a preprocessing step in most of the full powder pattern fitting softwares. Final result of line-broadening analysis strongly depends on preliminary three steps: Noise filtering, removal of background signal and peak fitting. In this wor...

The structure of nano-crystalline Fe2O3 particles, synthesized using the microwave plasma technique, has been analysed using synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, as well as transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, magnetic properties, the crystal structure, and the microstructures are compared and the potential model character of the samples for st...

During this study, we report the green synthesis of  magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the sol-gel method. The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy...

Nano-crystalline particles of CeO2 have been synthesized by a low temperature chemical precipitation method. The precursor materials used in this research were Ce(NO3)3.6H2O, NaOH and diethylene glycol as surfactant. X-ray powder diffraction results showed that face centered cubic CeO2 nanoparticles with crystalline size in nanometer scale were formed. Scanning electron microscopy measurement s...
