in this work, ce0.75gd0.1ca0.15o1.8 nanopowders are successfully synthesized by a glycine-nitrate combustionprocess under the microwave irradiation. then calcination was carried out at 700 °c. calcined powdersidentified by room temperature x-ray diffraction were single phase and had a crystallite size between 16 to 24nm (based on schererr formula). scanning electron microscopy (sem) was employe...

the nanoparticles of gold doped with various percentage of copper (cu 10%, 25%, 75%) were synthesized by wet-chemical method at room temperature. copper (ii) sulfate and gold (iii) chloride trihydride was taken as the metal precursor and ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and anhydride maleic as surfactant. the reaction is performed with high-speed stirring at room temperature under nitrogen atm...

in this study, pyrite was produced by hydrothermal precipitation from the reaction between feso4 and na2s2o3 at high pressure and high temperature in a stirred reactor. the solid product was purified by means of solvent extraction to remove sulfur. powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and thermal analyses. results indicated that pyrite was prod...

Cocrystals of acemetacin drug (ACM) with nicotinamide (NAM), p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), valerolactam (VLM) and 2-pyridone (2HP) were prepared by melt crystallization and their X-ray crystal structures determined by high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction. The powerful technique of structure determination from powder data (SDPD) provided details of molecular packing and hydrogen bonding in pha...

Crystal-structure determination using X-ray diffraction from single crystals is a well-developed technique (1). A single crystal structure provides full structural characterization of the form at the atomic scale. The main drawback to single crystal diffraction is the need to grow a sufficiently large and defect-free crystal for analysis, which is not practical for all crystal forms. Furthermor...

Methionine sulfoxide (MetSO, C5HnNO3S, Figure 1), a product of vegetal origin, is an amino acid similar to methionine. It is present in garlic (Sugii et al., 1964), onion (Kuon and Bernhard, 1963), nut (Kristensen et al, 1974), carrot (Alabran and Mabrouk, 1973), apple (BielinskaCzarnecka, 1963; McKee and Urbach, 1953), and banana plant (Steward et al., 1960). Recently, methionine sulfoxide was...

The fresnoite-type compound Sr2TiO(Si2O7), distrontium oxidotitanium disilicate, has been prepared by high-temperature solid-state synthesis. The results of a Rietveld refinement study, based on high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, show that the title compound crystallizes in the space group P4bm and adopts the structure of other fresnoite-type mineral samples with general...

nanostructured iron oxide powder that has been recovered from waste pickling liquor unit of steel industry was studied for oxidation catalytic applications. in this research, the powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transition electron microscopy (tem) for determination of phase structure, morphology and particle size. furthermore, the specific surface area of the powder was ...

The reduction of tungsten hexachloride with lead powder was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) combined with X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Intermediate compounds along the way of the reduction of W6+ to W2+ were detected, prepared by solid-state synthesis, and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques. Five new compounds, namely Pb0.5WCl6, PbW2Cl10, Pb1....
