Abstract In this article, we report a detailed study on the influence of sputter power physical properties NiO films grown by DC magnetron sputtering. Structural studies carried out Grazing Incidence X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals polycrystalline nature with FCC phase. The crystallographic orientation (111) plane followed (200), (220), and (311) were evident from XRD spectra. average crystalli...

The bacterial spot disease of cowpeas was first noted in southern Indiana in 1919, out its bacterial nature was not determined until 1921, when it occurred in an experimental plot of cowpeas at La Fayette, Ind. It is a typical spot disease of the leaves, stems, and pods, distinctly different from the other bacterial diseases of cowpeas reported in the literature. The organism which causes this ...

An asset-pricing perspective on inflation reveals that it depends on current and expected monetary and fiscal policies. There are three ways to carry $1 today into the future: money, bonds, and real assets. That dollar’s purchasing power varies inversely with the price level. Expected money growth, tax rates, and government spending directly impinge on these expected rates of return of these as...

The density and the character of dislocations and the size-distribution of grains or subgrains were determined by a new procedure of X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile analysis in copper specimens deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECA) or cold rolling. The anisotropic strain broadening of diffraction profiles was accounted for by dislocation contrast factors. The screw or edge character ...

The effects of plastic deformation by ball milling on the structure of a partly amorphousAl87Ni8La5alloy were investigated by X-ray diffractometry. Lattice parameter, crystallite size and lattice strain of the fcc-Al precipitates were determined by Rietveld refinement, doubleVoigt approach and Williamson-Hall plots. The changes in lattice parameter of fcc-Al nanoprecipitates during ball milling...

The sub-surface damage in ground and subsequently annealed alumina/silicon carbide nanocomposite has been studied by analysis of the x-ray diffraction line width as a function of incidence angle. Bragg peak broadening fell as the depth of penetration of the x-ray beam increased. Despite substantial anisotropy in the uniform compressional strain in the surface of the ground material, no signific...

This chapter will focus on the first two questions. The last question is equally important — of course we need to know the best way to make predictions, perform diagnoses and make strategic decisions — but in the absence of a well-entrenched mathematical calculus of causality, the answers given to the last question tend to depend on the answers provided to the first two questions. Standard resp...
