Bioapatite, the main constituent of mineralized tissue in mammalian bones, is a calcium-phosphate-based mineral that is similar in structure and composition to hydroxyapatite. In this work, the crystallographic structure of bioapatite in human fetuses was investigated by synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction (XRD) and microdiffraction ( micro -XRD) techniques. Rietveld refinement analyses of ...

The dislocation densities were measured on the same samples using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) and high-angular-resolution-electron backscattered diffraction (HR-EBSD)), X-ray (XRD). Notably, these different methods do not observe types of dislocations, i.e., statistically stored dislocations (SSDs) and/or geometrically necessary ...

To clarify the inconsistency between calculated and existing experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern for dicopper magnesium (MgCu2) nd to identify the impurity phase in Cu-sheathed MgB2 superconductors, polycrystalline MgCu2 samples were synthesized and studied by XRD easurement. The XRD result shows that the (2 2 0), (4 2 2), (6 2 0), and (6 4 2) reflection lines, which are missing from t...

cu2o nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of schiff base copper (ii) complex (1) as precursor. liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. the nano structure of the complex was characterized by x-ray diffraction measurement...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) are commonly used to perform texture analysis of thin films. However, due to principle differences in data acquisition these techniques can yield disagreeing results. In this paper, we aim to highlight possible error sources with given examples for aluminum and copper thin films. INTRODUCTION Texture in materials has a large in...

Most digital waveguide models of woodwind instruments to date have provided only basic control parameters such as frequency, breath pressure, and vibrato. It is clear that if these models are to gain popularity as real-time performance synthesizers or as composition tools, more flexibility is necessary. This paper discusses the implementation of expressive controls for flutter tonguing, growlin...

In a smart solution-processable luminescent poly(norbornene)/oxazine-1 (Ox1) intercalated fluoromica nanohybrid, the supramolecular organization of the Ox1 dyes can be tuned at the nanoscale level and a deep red emission band switched on by inducing a phase segregation of aligned molecules within the fluoromica layered scaffold. By combining low-temperature photoluminescence and ultrafast pump-...
