in this article vanadium boride nanopowder was synthesized by mechanochemical reduction method in a high-energy ball mill. the synthesized powders were studied by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), xray map and transmission electron microscopy (tem). according to x-ray diffraction the product predominantly consists of vb phases after 100 min milling without further hea...

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 ...

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...

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...

A new crystallographic method is proposed in order to refine a spin-resolved atomic orbital model against X-ray and polarized neutron diffraction data. This applied the YTiO 3 perovskite crystal, where ordering has previously been observed by several techniques: diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance. gives radial extension, orientation population of outer orbitals for each atom. The interacti...

in this research nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles with composition of ni1-xznxfe2o4 (where x=0, 0.3, 0.7, 1) were synthesized by a sol-gel method at 600 °c for 5 hours. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction pattern. the lattice parameter of ferrite nanoparticles was calculated and indicates lattice constant of nanoparticles depend on zinc concentration. the crystal...

A continuous mesostructured silica film with uniaxially aligned hexagonal mesochannels is obtained on a silica glass substrate using a rubbing -treated thin polyimide coating on the substrate. The mesochannels in the film are aligned perpendicular to the rubbing direction. To analyze the mesostructured thin films we used a conventional line-focus x-ray diffraction and a two-dimensional (2-D) X-...
