Hydroxyapatite nanorods aligned with ultrahigh crystallinity and high-yield were successfully synthesized through a hydrothermal approach. In this experiment, a new composition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ((CH3(CH2)15N+(CH3)3Br-) was designated as CTAP)/Ca(NO3)2/(NH4)2HPO4/NaOH and distilled water under hydrothermal condition, to synthesize single crystalHAp nanorods with diameter of 20 ±...

fept nanoparticles with thermally stable room-temperature ferromagnetism are investigated. the monodisperse nanoparticles are prepared by chemical synthesis and a salt-matrix annealing technique. structural and magnetic characterizations confirm the phase transition from the disordered face-centered cubic structure. in this paper, 3 nm fept nanoparticles are first synthesized by superhydride re...

Electron microscopy of materials in a gaseous environment has its origins as far back as about the 1950s for the transmission electron microscope (TEM), later followed by developments for the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Focusing on the latter, this review outlines the history and commercial development of the technology, culminating in the environmental SEM (ESEM), and the techniques fo...

Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal, which even in low levels is harmful to the human body, animals and also plants. Human manufactures such as cadmium-nickel batteries and pesticides, plastic, make the earth polluted with cadmium; therefore removal of the cadmium Water is vital for human and animal. Scientists use different methods for cadmium removal including adsorption, precipitation, i...

The preparation of a planar FeRh thin film using a focused ion beam (FIB) secondary electron microscope (SEM) for the purpose of in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is presented. A custom SEM stub with 45° faces allows for the transfer and milling of the sample on a TEM heating chip, whilst Fresnel imaging within the TEM revealed the presence of the magnetic domain walls, confirming ...

Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...

Objective(s): According to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, Nickel Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) was synthesized successfully by ultrasound irradiation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid extended networks that are constructed via covalent linkages between metal ions/metal clusters and organic ligands called a linker. Materials and Methods: The nanopar...

In situ studies of catalysts in the environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM) are of great value to elucidate the structure of a catalyst under reaction conditions. This is important, since the structure of many catalysts change at elevated temperature in the presence of reactive gases [1-2]. One way to directly relate structure to activity is to measure the activity of the catalyst...
