calcium fluoride nanoparticles with special amount of cerium ion (%1) were synthesized by coprecipitation. fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), absorption and photoluminescence (pl) from caf2ce nanoparticles has been investigated. ftir spectra reveal that there are some amounts of oh, no3 and other organic functional groups on the particle surfaces before th...

solid solutions of ag-cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. the cu-20at%ag and cu-3.64at%ag composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction technique. it was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. in addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. the ...

In this study, carbon nano-micro spheres with tightly controllable size, regularand perfect shape, high yields and narrow size distribution were prepared simply fromglucose and DI water as precursors using a hydrothermal method. By setting the initialconcentration of glucose solution and changing the hydrothermal process time at aconstant temperature of 160 °C, carbon spheres with various sizes...

nanocrystalline zno particles were prepared by a novel sonochemical route from zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide without any requirement of calcination steps at high temperature and without surfactants. variations in several parameters and their effects on the structural (crystal size and morphology) properties of nanoparticles were investigated. characterizations were carried out by x-ray diff...

objective(s): hardystonite (ht) has been successfully prepared by a modified sol-gel method. we hypothesized thatnano-sized (ht) would mimic more efficiently the nanocrystal structure and function of natural bone apatite, owing to the higher surface area, compare to conventional micron-size (ht).materials and methods: the hardystonite nanopowder was prepared via a modified sol-gel method.optimi...

znfe2o4 mixed spinel ferrite nanoparticles obtained through a citrate-nitrate combustion method. ignited products calcined at different temperatures in 600-900ºc range and effect of calcination treatment temperature investigated. final products characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem). the a...

In this research zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles and nanocomposites powders were prepared by chemical precipitation method using zinc acetate and various sulfur sources. The ZnS nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible and fourier transform infra-red. The structure of nanoparticles was studied using X-ray diffraction pattern. The ...

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...
