Aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) of Cd[(SePiPr2)2N]2 is shown to deposit cadmium selenide and/or cadmium phosphide on glass substrates, depending upon the growth conditions. The phase, structure, morphology and composition of the films were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray photoelectron s...

A novel type X-ray detector, called PILATUS, has been developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Switzerland during the last decade. PILATUS detectors are two-dimensional hybrid pixel array detectors, which operate in single-photon counting mode. PILATUS detectors feature a very wide dynamic range (1:1,000,000), very short read out time (< 3.0 msec), no readout noise, and very high counti...

A new optic system that produces a monochromatic microbeam for both CuKα and CrKα radiation for X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been developed. Multilayer optics technology is a well-known tool to produce a monochromatic micro X-ray beam for XRD. This new optic was combined with a microfocus rotating anode X-ray generator and a cylindrical imaging plate detector to provide a complete dual wavelengt...

Tanaka et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2017, 139, 1718) recently reported the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII) by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using extremely low X-ray doses of 0.03 and 0.12 MGy. They observed two different 3D structures of the CaMn4O5 cluster with different hydrogen-bonding interactions in the S1 state of OEC keeping the sur...

A new ligand containing long alkyl (octadecyl) chains was used to obtain the mesogenic complex [L2Cu4(mu4-O)(OAc)4].EtOH (1). This complex was thoroughly characterized and had its molecular structure solved by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mesomorphic properties were demonstrated by means of polarized microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and XRD.

in this research work the solid-solutions of (bi2o3)1-x (co2o3)x, [x= 0.05, 0.1] (1), (bi2o3)1-x (ho2o3) x, [x= 0.025, 0.05] (2), and (bi2o3)1-x-y (co2o3)x (ho2o3)y, [x=0.05] ; [y= 0.01, 0.02] (3) have been synthesized  using sol-gel method. the effects of transition metal oxides doping on the crystallization and phase transition of the bi2o3 were discussed by x-ray diffraction (xrd). the xrd p...

We analyze graphene and some of the carbon allotropes for which graphene sheets form the basis. The real-space and reciprocal crystalline structures are analyzed. Theoretical X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are obtained from this analysis and compared with experimental results. We show that staggered two-dimensional hexagonal lattices of graphite have XRD patterns that differ significantly fro...

Bi5−xLaxTiNbWO15 x=0–1.50 ceramics prepared by conventional solid-state reaction were studied using x-ray diffraction XRD , dielectric spectroscopy and Raman scattering techniques. The XRD analysis implied that single-phase intergrowth bismuth layered perovskite structure was obtained for all the samples and when x=0.75, the Bi3+ in Bi2O2 2+ layer begins to be substituted by La3+. The dielectri...

In this paper, Zn2SiO4:xEu3+ phosphors were synthesized with different concentrations of Eu3+ ions (x = 1, 3 and 5 wt.%) by using waste bottle glasses as silicate source. The structure, morphology, and luminescent properties of the phosphors were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The XRD ana...

Undoped and cobalt-doped (1-4 wt%) ZnO polycrystalline, thin films have been fabricated on quartz substrates using sequential spin-casting and annealing of simple salt solutions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals a wurzite ZnO crystalline structure with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showing lattice planes of separation 0.26 nm, characteristic of (002) planes. The Co appears to ...
