Mn-doped nanocrystalline ZnO particles have been successfully synthesized at low temperature (80 ̊C) by the coprecipitation method using zinc sulfatehepta hydrate and NaOH. The structural and magnetic properties have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive x-ray, vibrating sample magnetometer and electron spin resonance. XRD measurements revealed that the sample posse...

the preparation of nano-sized tio2 by titanium tetraisopropoxide (ti(oipr)4) via sol-gelmethod using acid as a catalyst is investigated and the optimized conditions concerning theproportional amount of acid, water, alcohol is established by xrd and sem. the effect ofcalcination temperature on phase transformation of tio2 (rutile, anatase and brookite) wasdetermined by xrd. the smallest grain si...

A bulk single crystal sample of cadmium telluride (CdTe) was irradiated with a ~3 mJ/cm infrared femtosecond laser and analyzed with time-resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) performed on an in-air tabletop designed for an extremely short pulsed X-ray source. The integrated intensity of Kα XRD lines from the CdTe (111) plane was decreased by 4%–5% in the time scale of ~200 ps. The changes in integr...

A test bench instrument constructed at MOXTEK, Inc. is capable of simultaneously capturing X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) information using a charge-coupled device (CCD) as the X-ray detector. NASA is funding the instrument’s construction because of its low-power consumption and compact size; it could be used for in-situ planetary exploration missions for mineral analysis....

Structures of carbon supported Pt-Ru catalyst in a polymer-electrolyte-fuel-cell (PEFC) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS). XRD analysis identified a face-centered-cubic (fcc) alloy structure for Pt-Ru. XAFS analysis revealed that Pt and Ru atoms were, however, not randomly distributed in the Pt-Ru fcc lattice. A Pt atom was more likely surrounded ...

A filter based on the Hankel Lanczos Singular Value Decomposition (HLSVD) technique is presented and applied for the first time to X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Synthetic and real powder XRD intensity profiles of nanocrystals are used to study the filter performances with different noise levels. Results show the robustness of the HLSVD filter and its capability to extract easily and efficiently...

A method of measuring biaxial stress-strain curves for sheet metal samples subjected to large plastic strains is described for one example aluminum alloy (AA 5754-O). The method uses a portable X-ray diffraction (XRD) system to measure in situ stresses during tensile deformations. Calibration of X-ray elastic constants and the effects of texture and intergranular stresses are discussed. Uniaxia...

Recently, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been reported to exhibit a low voltage charge/discharge behavior with high capacity (300–545 mAh/g) in lithium-ion secondary batteries (LIBs). To clarify the mechanism of low voltage behavior, we performed ex situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of a film of Na1.34Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.84·3.4H2O w...

Nano size nickel copper ferrite powders (NiCuFe2O4) have been prepared by a prepared by Co precipitation method. The resulting powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM).The result showed nanosize nickel copper ferrite(35.65nm). The powders showed extensive XRD line broadening and sizes of crystals observed from the XRD line broadening was35.65 nm,...

In x Al1-x N films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using metal-organic molecular beam epitaxy. We investigated the effect of the trimethylindium/trimethylaluminum (TMIn/TMAl) flow ratios on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of In x Al1-x N films. Surface morphologies and microstructure of the In x Al1-x N films were measured by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron ...
