Zeolite FAU type-Y is one of the most studied framework of all zeolites, and has been used as catalysts for number of reactions in the refinery and petrochemical industry. In this research, nanocrystalline zeolite Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The crystal size of zeolite Y is influenced by temperature, aging time, alkalinity, and water content. The synthesized zeolite NaY is identif...

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) has emerged as a very powerful tool for probing the structure of metals and alloys because of its capability to provide morphological information, crystallographic details, and chemical composition of phases distributed on a very fine scale in a given microstructure. Convergent beam electron diffraction, nano or micro beam diffraction and selected area dif...

We describe the radiation damage in chromium nitride and chromium oxynitride films which occurs by electron beam radiation within the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The beam damage has been monitored by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in TEM image mode using a 200 kV Philips CM20 (S)TEM with a LaB6-cathode, equipped with a Gatan Imaging Filter (GIF). The CrN samples (CrN and C...

To investigate transition metal precipitates in Si, synchrotron based measurements, like micro x-ray fluorescence (μXRF) or detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies, are usually necessary. Transition metals are among the most detrimental defects in multi-crystalline (mc) silicon material for solar cell applications, due to their impact on minority charge carrier lifetime and poss...

ZnO/ PEG Nanocomposite material is synthesized by laser ablation of pure Zn target in the mix solution of PEG and of water in different compositions. Synthesized Nanocomposite materials are characterized by using UV-visible absorption, Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic techniques. TEM investigation illustrates synthesis of few 2-5 nm quantum dots wi...

In the present work, we have developed an efficient catalytic procedure for the chemo-selective acetylation of various substrates like amines, phenols and alcohols into their corresponding acetylated products using acetyl chloride in the presence of catalytic amount of metal acetylacetonates covalently anchored onto amine functionalized silica under solvent-free conditions. The catalysts were c...

Zinc Oxide doped with chromium and cobalt, in form of powder with nanometer size has been prepared by typical solgel route, with assistance of microwave radiations. The as prepared material’s structure was characterized under XRays Diffraction(XRD) and Scherrer formula was used to find the crystal size. The materials also have been characterized under Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) and Trans...
