Nano-scale copper oxide with various morphologies is synthesized via the thermal oxide method and growth in a 5 wt% NaCl solution of spray fog environment. The nano-scale copper oxide is grown on copper metal sheets via the thermal oxide method at 650 ̊C for 60 minutes. Nano-scale copper oxide grains and nanowires are induced on copper metal sheets then placed in 5 wt% NaCl solution of salt spra...

synthesis, characterization, spectral and theoretical calculations of sodium tetrafluoroborate (iii) (stfb) has been studied in this research. sodium tetrafluoroborate (iii) was synthesized by a sonochemical method and characterized by ir, uv/vis, 11b-nmr and mass spectrometer techniques. the nano compound was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) a...

In the emerging issue of increased multi-resistant properties in food borne pathogens, zinc oxide (ZnO) and nano-particle zinc oxide (nano-ZnO) are being used increasingly as antimicrobial agents. Thus, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of nano-ZnO towards pathogens microbes Bacillus subtilus NRRL B-543, Bacillus megaterium ATCC 25848, Staph...

The role of -pinene in aerosol nucleation and growth was investigated using the CERN CLOUD chamber, a nano scanning mobility particle sizer (nanoSMPS) and several condensation particle counters (CPCs) with different diameter cut-offs. Different oxidation conditions for -pinene – OH⋅ vs. ozone oxidation – were considered to investigate their contributions to particle nucleation and growth. Resul...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanopowder was obtained during a sonochemical method. Nickel hydroxide precursor, prepared by addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to nickel nitrate Ni(NO3)2 solution and vigorously stirring until the pH becomes 7.2. Ultrasounds waves were applied during precipitation period and after drying in oven nanopowder NiO was achieved. Transient and scanning electron microscopy showed...

In this paper, dynamic behavior of nanoparticle motion during nanoprobe-based manipulation is investigated. Pushing, pulling or picking manipulation of the particles results in different behavior of rolling, sliding, sticking, or rotation. For a given point of contact of the nanoprobe tip on the particle, nanoprobe load magnitude and direction and critical frictional forces are obtained in all ...

We study the electromagnetic fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle and the radiation reaction on the charged particle using a novel approach. We first show that the fields of an arbitrarily moving charged particle in an inertial frame can be related in a simple manner to the fields of a uniformly accelerated charged particle in its rest frame. Since the latter field is static and eas...

Real-time monitoring of physical parameters is a key requirement of process systems in particle manufacturing for either industrial or academic applications. We present an inprocess, high pressure (10 bar) flow cell instrument for the combined measurement of particle-size distribution, electrophoretic mobility & conductivity at nano-scales. The measurement performance is characterised in flow a...

a  facile  effective  stirring  aging  at  room  temperature  prior  to  conventional  hydrothermal treatment was employed in the template-free synthesis of micro- and nano-crystalline sodalites with  two  different  initial  gel  compositions.  the  effect  of  initial  si/al  molar  ratio,  naoh concentration and stirring aging time were investigated on the morphology and particle size of the...

cobalt ferrite nano-powder have been obtained through a hydrothermal method with 2:1 molar ratio of fe:co without using any surfactant. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and morphological properties of cofe2o4 nano-particles. also, edax spectroscopy applied to evaluate the chemical composition. results demonstrated that 15 hr hyd...
