Tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. The experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. Tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°C and 430°C and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°C, in the downstream of argon gas flow. The products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

In the present paper, ZnO nanorods with the mean size of 50 nm× 250 nm were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal synthesis route in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). ZnCl2 and KOH were used as the starting materials and zinc oxide nanorods were obtained at 120 ◦C for 5 h. The product was characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron ...

Cerium doped lutetium silicate powders were prepared by solegel process with different cerium concentrations (0, 0.01 and 0.03 mol%). The synthesized lutetium silicate powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), TG-DTA, SEM, and Photoluminescence excitation and emissions. The crystallization of lutetium silicate is observed at 1.073 C in S2 (and S3: 1.058 C) sample. The formation of l...

Urinary calculi constitute one of the oldest afflictions of humans as well as animals, which are occurring globally. The calculi vary in shape, size and composition, which influence their clinical course. They are usually of the mixed-type with varying percentages of the ingredients. In medical management of urinary calculi, either the nature of calculi is to be known or the exact composition o...

-Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectra for mixtures of ordered kaolinite and ordered dickite have been found to simulate the spectral response of disordered kaolinite. The amount of octahedral vacancy disorder in nine disordered kaolinite samples was estimated by comparing the sample spectra to the spectra of reference mixtures. The resulting estimates are consistent with previously published...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of CPP method on the crystallinity of apatite powder and on the acid resistance of bovine enamel. Crystallinity degrees of apatite powder before and after CPP treatment were measured by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Polished bovine enamel specimens treated with CPP method or NaF were immersed in a lactic acid solution for up to five days....

in this research, a single-stage low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis route was successfully developed for preparation of iron disulfide. the prepared powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). these analyses showed that nanoparticles were well crystallized, pyrite was the main product and the shape of crystals was nanorod. also, the influences...

nanocrystalline zinc oxide (zno) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds), and tri ethanol amine (tea) via hydrothermal method. the products were characterized by means of powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electr...

During this study, we report the green synthesis of  magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles using tragacanth gum as a reducing and stabilizing agent by the sol-gel method. The green synthesized CuFe2O4 MNPs are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is an essential component of research into use of organometallic precursors as a route to low temperature (<500 “C) synthesis of bulk compound semiconductors. This paper illustrates the use of XRD to study solid solution behavior in the systems SnS-SnSe and PbS-CdS. XRD characterization demonstrated that phase pure intermediate members of the Sn(S,Se) solid soluti...
