Nanocrystalline cerium(LV) oxide (CeO2, ceria) particles were produced via the hydrothermal treatment of cerium nitrate hexahydrate with various alkali metal hydroxides (MOH: M = Li, Na, K). Experimental conditions such as [MOH], reaction temperature, and reaction time were studied. Particle morphology as well as size of crystallites was precisely controlled by choice of experimental conditions...

This article reports the green fabrication of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) using Olea europaea leaf extract and their applications as effective antimicrobial agents. O. europaea leaf extract functions as a chelating agent for reduction of cerium nitrate. The resulting CeO2 NPs exhibit pure single-face cubic structure, which is examined by X-ray diffraction, with a uniform spherical sha...

The gamma-ray emissions from a radiopure cerium-bromide crystal with mass of 4381 g were measured for total 497.4 d by means high-resolution spectrometry in the HADES underground laboratory at depth 500 m.w.e. A search 0/2nee and 0/2neb+ double beta decay transitions Ce-136 Ce-138 was performed using Bayesian analysis techniques. No signals observed 35 investigated modes. 90% credibility limits...
