A simple method has been employed to synthesize Copper and Copper oxide nanoparticles from Copper (II) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. The particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The Synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Visib...

Recent advances in high-pressure diamond anvil cell experiments include high-energy synchrotron x-ray techniques as well as new cell designs and gasketing procedures. The success of high-pressure experiments usually depends on a well-prepared sample, in which the gasket plays an important role. Various gasket materials such as diamond, beryllium, rhenium, and stainless steel have been used. Her...

X-ray diffraction peak profile analysis was used to identify changes in the lattice distortions during isothermal aging of Fe-10Ni-7Mn (wt. %) maraging steel. Integral peak breadths were analyzed using classical Williamson-Hall equation taking the elastic anisotropy into account. It was found that substantial lattice distortions rise during precipitation hardening which depend strongly on the s...

-Thirty two boehmites, synthesized at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300~ were examined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The results show that boehmite exhibits a continuous gradation in crystallite size ranging from single octahedral layers ...

A sparse supervised learning approach for dynamic sampling (SLADS) is described for dose reduction in diffraction-based protein crystal positioning. Crystal centering is typically a prerequisite for macromolecular diffraction at synchrotron facilities, with X-ray diffraction mapping growing in popularity as a mechanism for localization. In X-ray raster scanning, diffraction is used to identify ...

In recent years, the time-resolved X-ray diffraction technique has been established as an excellent tool for studying reaction dynamics and protein structural transitions with the aid of 100 ps X-ray pulses generated from third-generation synchrotrons. The forthcoming advent of the X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) will bring a substantial improvement in pulse duration, photon flux and coherence...

sol–gel auto-combustion is a unique combination of the combustion and the chemical gelation processes. in this work, nanosize (d) powders with compositions of znfe2o4 were synthesized by sol–gel combustion method. the puffy, porous brown powders as-combusted was calcined at the temperature of 750–1000◦c for 4 h. these powders are characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microsco...

the characterizations of natural diatomite from birjand deposit (iran) were studied such as chemical compositions, specific surface area, total pore volume, pore size distribution and xrd. the diatomite that was treated only with sulfuric acid displayed a larger surface area, expanded total pore volume and increased pore size in comparison with both washed natural diatomite with deionized water...

in this research, hydraulic and sorption behavior of geosynthetic clay liners (gcls) withordinary and modified clay exposed to crude oil were studied. both modified and ordinary bentonites wereinvestigated to evaluate crude oil adsorption efficiency on the liners. because soil permeability exposed tocrude oil is a major parameter in measuring the contaminants migration in soils, the permeabilit...
