the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...

In this article the main possibilities of single crystal and powder diffraction analysis using conventional laboratory x-ray sources are introduced. Several examples of applications with different solid samples and in different fields of applications are shown illustrating the multidisciplinary capabilities of both techniques. Handbook of instrumental techniques from CCiTUB X-ray single crystal...

The use of plant extract is generating interest of researchers toward cost effective and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present work, Cupric oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using coffee powder extracts by the sol-gel method at different calcination temperatures. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , ultr...

objective(s): cao–mgo–sio2 system bioceramics possess good characteristics for hard tissue engineering applications. the aim of the study was to synthesize the nano powder by using a sol-gel method and evaluate of bioactivity in the cells culture. methods: to characterize of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem) and to evaluate the bioactivity sample cell seedin...

the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...

Figure S1: X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the iron oxide nanospheres sample. X-ray Powder diffraction (XRPD) was measured on a conventional in-house powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation. Rietveld refinement yields cubic lattice parameters of 8.362(2) Å for the nanospheres and 8.348(1) Å for the nanocubes, which are both close to the cubic spinel lattice parameter of maghemite. The r...

We report the crystal structure of the 5-residue peptide acetyl-YEQGL-amide, determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data recorded on a conventional laboratory X-ray powder diffractometer. The YEQGL motif has a known biological role, as a trafficking motif in the C-terminus of mammalian P2X4 receptors. Comparison of the crystal structure of acetyl-YEQGL-amide determined here and that ...
