nano-zeolite coapo-5 as a member of afi family, was synthesized via a hydrothermal treatment, and structurally characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem), and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (edax). the effects of crystallization temperature and time on the structure of these powder products were studied. xrd patterns of the synthesized powders revealed a h...

Jet models for the high-energy emission of Galactic X-ray binary sources have regained significant interest with detailed spectral and timing studies of the X-ray emission from microquasars, the recent detection by the HESS collaboration of very-high-energy $\gamma$-rays from the microquasar LS~5039, and the earlier suggestion of jet models for ultraluminous X-ray sources observed in many nearb...

By consideration of unique properties of composite Al2O3-ZrO2 such as high toughness, high wear resistant and relative low thermal expansion, in this study, nanocomposite of Al2O3-ZrO2 was produced by Mechanical activated Self propagating High-temperature Synthesis (MASHS) using laser beam for ignition. First Al and ZrO2 powders were mixed in the mole ratio of 1:1 and milled for 1, 3 and 6 hour...

We have developed a high-throughput x-ray characterization system, which can rapidly screen structure, composition and x-ray scintillation of combinatorial materials libraries using energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, and x-ray photoluminescence. This system consists of an x-ray source, a polycapillary x-ray lens, one or two x-ray energy detectors, and a fiber optic spectro...

High energy X-ray imaging has unique advantage over conventional X-ray imaging, since it enables higher penetration into materials with significantly reduced radiation damage. However, the absorption contrast in high energy region is considerably low due to the reduced X-ray absorption cross section for most materials. Even though the X-ray phase and dark-field imaging techniques can provide su...

SnCl4/nano-sawdust was prepared as a carbohydrate-based catalyst containing of tin bearing cellulose units. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The catalyst was applied successfully as a readily available, inexpensive, biodeg...

A laser driven electron x-ray source (LEXS) using a high repetition rate, terawatt laser system is described. The laser system has adopted design features that make it more suitable for the generation of hard x-ray pulses. These features include a simplified pumping scheme to reduce cost and complexity, a λ/4 broadband regenerative amplifier to support high-energy, short optical pulse generatio...
