we report the fabrication of pure CeO2, ZnO and SiO2 deposited CeO2 hybrid core-shell nanoparticles by simple and cost effective co precipitation method. The as synthesized samples were characterized by various experimental techniques such as XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) and HRTEM (High Field Transmission Tunneling Microscopy) measurements. XRD results...

The structural and electrochemical properties of RuPt thin-film electrodes fabricated by radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering have been investigated. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction data show a transition from a face-centered cubic (fcc) to hexagonal cubic-packed (hcp) structure as the Ru percentage increases. The transition occurs gradually between 32 and 58% Ru, which is significantl...

A study of the magnetic and structural properties of the double perovskite Ba2GdMoO6 has been performed. The crystal structure distorts from the ideal cubic (Fm3m) structure to the tetragonal space group I4/m at 220 K, before undergoing a second distortion to a triclinic system (I1) at 80 K. The phase transition to triclinic symmetry is also evident in magnetic susceptibility measurements. The ...

Heusler alloys crystallize in a close-packed cubic structure, having a four-atom basis forming a face-centred cubic lattice. By selecting different composite elements, Heusler alloys provide a large family of members for frontier research of spintronics and magnetic materials and devices. In this paper, the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a novel quaternary Heusler alloy, PdMn...

The impact of cation distribution on electronic structure and magnetic properties is investigated by the first-principle calculation. The structure optimization is based on generalized gradient approximation GGA exchange-correlation and projector augmented wave method. The optimized structures of inverse and normal copper ferrite are tetragonal c /a=1.06 and cubic, respectively. The optimized s...

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...

Inclusion of protein lysozyme molecules in the lipidic mono-olein cubic phase induces a transition from a Pn3m structure to an Im3m one. The small-angle x-ray scattering method with high-intensity synchrotron radiation enabled us to follow closely the transition depending on the conditions of lysozyme solutions. We show that concentrated lysozyme solutions induced the appearance of the Im3m str...
