Hydroxyapatite nanorods aligned with ultrahigh crystallinity and high-yield were successfully synthesized through a hydrothermal approach. In this experiment, a new composition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ((CH3(CH2)15N+(CH3)3Br-) was designated as CTAP)/Ca(NO3)2/(NH4)2HPO4/NaOH and distilled water under hydrothermal condition, to synthesize single crystalHAp nanorods with diameter of 20 ±...

In this study, we reported a facile synthesis of bimetallic FeCo nanoparticles (Fe-Co NPs) by FeSO4.7H2O and Co(Ac)2.4H2O in the presence of sodium borohydride and 2-thiotic acid. The structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Micros...

zns  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  in  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  the effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

Transmission X-ray mirrors have been fabricated from 300-400 nm-thick low-stress silicon nitride windows of size 0.6 mm x 85 mm. The windows act as a high-pass energy filter at grazing incidence in an X-ray beam for the beam transmitted through the window. The energy cut-off can be selected by adjusting the incidence angle of the transmission mirror, because the energy cut-off is a function of ...

The gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL, launched in October 2002, produces a wealth of discoveries and new results on compact high energy Galactic objects, nuclear gammaray line emission, diffuse line and continuum emission, cosmic background radiation, AGN and high energy transients. Two important serendipitous discoveries made by the INTEGRAL mission are new classes of X-ray binaries, namely the ...

Laser Compton scattering (LCS) light sources can provide high-energy photons from keV to MeV range. Many research and development projects of linac-based LCS sources are carried on. For the photon energies of tens keV, linac-based LCS sources realize laboratory-size X-ray sources, of which performance is potentially comparable to 2 generation synchrotron light sources. Linac-based LCS also real...

Nanosecond Pulsed Power provides the unique capability to deliver high energy and high power at low cost and high efficiency. One important application of this technology is to the generation of intense, highenergy laboratory X-ray sources using magnetically driven implosions. Saturn generates ~500 kilojoules of x-rays using this process. This paper presents a detailed design concept for a ~15 ...
