superparamagnetic single phase zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by coprecipitation method at 20 °c without any subsequent calcination. the composition, crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated using x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), transmission electron microscope (tem), fou...

According to the increasing development of the mankind, social and technology activities in the earth, various industry is in a state of uncontrolled growth. In the present study, magnetite/nickel oxide mixed metal oxide nanoparticles (FNMMO NPs) were prepared by a simple method assisted by ultrasonic waves and applied as a novel adsorbent to dispose of dye wastewater. The morphology and chemic...

One of the long standing problems affecting electron holography, such as lateral coherence limitation, has been solved by the split illumination method with a specially customized transmission electron microscope (TEM). The customized TEM has single [1] or double [2] biprisms in a condenser optical system. Conventional TEM, constructed for electron holography, however, does not have any biprism...

We have investigated the changes produced in single-element and two-layer transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimens irradiated by an intense nanometer-sized electron probe, such as that produced in a field-emission or aberration-corrected TEM. These changes include hole formation and the accumulation of material within the irradiated area. The results are discussed in terms of mechanisms...

Stereological analysis has been coupled with transmission electron microscope (TEM) orientation mapping to investigate the grain boundary character distribution in nanocrystalline copper thin films. The use of the nanosized (<5 nm) beam in the TEM for collecting spot diffraction patterns renders an order of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution compared to the analysis of electron backsca...

Beam-induced heating effect on nanoscale samples is a crucial question, as it strongly influences the interpretation of observed unusual behaviours. This question currently under debate without convincing conclusion. Here, using silver nitride (Ag3N) nanoparticles temperature labels, we perform an investigation this inside transmission electron microscope (TEM) normal imaging conditions. Combin...

The STEM (scanning transmission electron microscope) is useful device combining features of scanning and transmission electron microscopes. The sample in form of ultrathin section is scanned by the electron probe and the transmitted electrons are detected. Except the dedicated STEMs [1] this mode can exist as options in both TEM and SEM [2]. The STEM based on the SEM equipped by a transmission ...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), with their excellent properties, have long been considered as a model material for realizing the potential of nanotechnology. Several techniques have been developed to tailor and manipulate MWNTs, and they have shown promise in the construction of nanobalances, nanosensors, SPM probes, nanoelectronics, fuel cells, and so on. In order to achieve their full c...
