In this research we report synthesis of new Barium- Cobalt precursor complex with 2,6- pyridine dicarboxylic acid (dipic).Thecomplex[Ba(H2O)6][Co(dipic)2[(1)has been characterized using spectral methods (FT-IR, UV–Vis),elemental analysis and Cyclic voltammetric (CV) method. Also in this study we report thermal decomposition of inorganic precursor complex of (1).Characterization of the binary ox...

In this study, X-ray fractography’)-‘) technique was applied to the (GZ+~) dual phase stainless steel. Effect of the rolling direction on fatigue properties was discussed. Residual stress near the surface was measured by using X-ray diffraction method to the depth direction. Relations between X-ray parameter and fracture mechanics parameter were examined. As the result, distribution of the phas...

the structure of the nonaaquayttrium (iii) bromate, [y(h2o)9](bro3)3, at low temperature (100 k) has been studied by means of single-crystal x-ray diffraction. crystallography shows a hexagonal unit cell, space group p63/mmc (no. 194) with z = 2, a = b = 11.7104(11) å, c = 6.6259(5) å and v = 786.90(12) å3 at 100 k. the hydrated trivalent yttrium(iii) ion forms a tricapped trigonal prism, in wh...

in this research calcium fluoride nanoparticles and its different amount of cerium ion dopant (5%and 10%) were prepared. the mentioned nanoparticle were studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) , x-ray diffraction (xrd), absorption and photoluminescence spectra (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the xrd patterns indicate a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other...

background: an early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxrd) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

The Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of BF3/nano-γ-Al2O3 at room temperature in ethanol. This catalyst is characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy-disper...
