titanium nitride-copper (tin-cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. the influence of cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. structural properties of the films were studied by x-ray diffraction pattern. topography of t...

X-ray diffraction observation of metal fracture provides fracture analysis with useful information on the mechanics and mechanical conditions of fracturing. This method is called “X-ray Fractography” and has been developed especially in Japan as a new engineering tool for fracture analysis[1-3]. X-ray fractographic technique was applied to fracture surface of dental material. The relationship b...

Mn doped ZnO nanocrystals were prepared by co-precipitation route sintered at 450 °C temperature. XRD results indicate that the samples having hexagonal (wurtzite) structure. From X-ray data it is found that the lattice parameters increase with increasing Mn concentration. The X-ray density decreases with increasing Mn concentration of Zn 1-x Mnx O nanocrystals. It indicates that the Mn...

In this research Na-Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as support for preparation of Sn/Pt/Na-Y catalysts using two different tin precursors, Bu3Sn(Cl) and SnCl2.2H2O, by sequential impregnation, in which the Pt  was deposited first and in the next step Sn was deposited. The catalysts were characterized by H2 chemisorption, transmis...

nickel hydroxide nanostructures were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. the effect of different precursors and surfactants on the morphology of nickel hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared  spectroscopy. the influence of ni(oh)2 nano...

core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/tio2 (hpw/tio2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of hpw have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. characterization of the samples was carried out by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ftir). the x-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characteristic peaks of titania wi...

A standard material containing chrysotile asbestos for the validation of x-ray diffractometric quantitation was developed using an asbestos-containing building material i.e., perlite board. The board as the base material was crushed, pulverized, and homogenized. The homogeneity of the powder of perlite board was estimated by analysis of variance. The diffraction intensity values of the crystall...
