The model of structure and structural transformation of the mesostructured carbon material CMK-1 was established by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations. The investigations showed that the enantiomeric carbon subframeworks formed within the pores of the MCM48 mesoporous template used for the material synthesis displaced with respect to one ano...

The use of plant extract is generating the interest of researchers toward cost effective,nontoxic, economic viability and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the presentwork, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using black tea extract and zinc nitrateas the zinc source by the sol-gel method. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles werecharacterized by powder X-ray diffractio...

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...

CuInSe2 nanoparticles have been prepared by reacting cuprous chloride, indium chloride with alcohol and selenium powder. The nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, XRD, ICP-OES and SEM. The formation of CuInSe2 nanoparticles with different precursor ratios was investigated by in-situ high temperature X-ray diffraction analysis. It was found that the growth of CIS followed a vapor-liquid-solid...

A deep machine-learning technique based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) is introduced. It has been used for the classification of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns in terms of crystal system, extinction group and space group. About 150 000 powder XRD patterns were collected and used as input for the CNN with no handcrafted engineering involved, and thereby an appropriate CNN archi...

Detonation-produced hydroxyapatite coatings were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The source material for detonation spraying was a B-type carbonated hydroxyapatite powder. The coatings consisted of tetracalcium phosphate and apatite. The ratio depended slightly on the degre...

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using Arabic gum as a biotemplate andmagnesium nitrate as the magnesium source by the sol-gel method. This method has manyadvantages such as nontoxic, economic viability, ease to scale up, less time consuming andenvironmental friendly approach for the synthesis of MgO nanoparticles without using anyorganic chemicals. Nanoparticles were characterize...

-Chloritic veins in serpentinite and their weathering products were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Chlorite formed during the Hercynianage orogenesis had apparently been partly transformed to high-charge vermiculite during subsequent metamorphism of the rocks. The idealized structural formulae for these minerals are (mlL9Fea+0.zFe2+o.4Mg9.2...

The influence of short-time milling on the atomic structure of amorphous Co(70.3)Fe(4.7)B(25) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and x-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) techniques. Our results prove that the milling process crystallizes the initially amorphous sample and that the degree of inhe...

Magnetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (MNHAP) adsorbents were synthesized and were used for the removal of Cd2+ and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions. The properties of this magnetic adsorbent were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis system of X-ray (EDAX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, zeta potential, BET surface area measurements and magnetizat...
