ZnS nanoparticles of different size have been synthesized using a colloidal particles method. ZnS nanoparticles prepared with capping agent (mercaptoethanol) then were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The particle size of the nanoparticles calculated from the XRD patterns has been found in the range 1.85-2.44nm. Absorption spectra have been obtained using UV-...

Ovidius University of Constanta, Department of Physics, 124 Mamaia Blvd, 900527, Romania ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract. A series of Fe2O3-Al2O3 mixed systems with composition ranging from 1 to 9% of Al2O3 were prepared by a traditional chemical method and examined for structural characteristics. XRD spectra and SAED patterns...

Ultra-small gold nanoparticles (0.8–1 nm) are successfully deposited on titania-modified SBA-15 via a deposition–precipitation method. A comparison of experimental X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns with theoretical ones shows that gold exists as Au and Au in the as-synthesized and reduced catalyst, respectively. The XRD analyses also suggest that Au nanoparticles are more developed along the Æ11...

Two non-destructive instrumental methods, infrared spectroscopy (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were studied for quality evaluation of Lobelia chinensis Lour. (L. chinensis). We obtained the IR spectra and XRD patterns of L. chinensis collected from different sources. The similarity of samples was analyzed by calculating the cosine coefficient. The cosine values were in the range of 0.83-0.90...

A hydrothermal method of synthesizing hydroxyapatite by heating a precipitate, formed by mixing Ca(NO3)2⋅4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 with distilled water, in a hydrothermal reactor at 200 C for 24-72 hrs is described. A treatment time of 24 hrs produced single phase (as shown by XRD) hydroxyapatite powder, however for longer treatment times XRD patterns were indicative of the presence of a secondary ph...

The structural and nanomechanical properties of GaSe thin films were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nanoindentation techniques. The GaSe thin films were deposited on Si(111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. XRD patterns reveal only the pure (000 l)-oriented reflections originating from the hexagonal GaSe phase and no trace of any impurity or additional phases. Nanoin...

Mn(II) doped P2O5-ZnO-CaO glasses are being characterized by techniques like XRD, UVVisible and different physical properties. XRD patterns in present glasses have confirmed the amorphous nature of glass samples. The optical absorption spectrum exhibited three bands which are characteristic of Mn(II) in distorted octahedral site symmetry., The density is one of the tools to reveal the degree of...

The aging of a nanocrystalline equiatomic ZnSe alloy produced by mechanical alloying was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The measured XRD patterns showed that Se atoms located at interfacial component migrated with aging giving raise to a crystalline selenium (c-Se) phase. DSC spectra of heat-treated samples at temperatures abov...

Mesostructured nickel oxide was formed with nickel sulfate and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks at low scattering angles and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that a mesostructure was formed. However, these XRD patterns disappeared after calcination. The addition of sodium silicate in the precursor solutions produced a mesos...
