Essential background on the determination of absolute configuration by way of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) is presented. The use and limitations of an internal chiral reference are described. The physical model underlying the Flack parameter is explained. Absolute structure and absolute configuration are defined and their similarities and differences are highlighted. The necessary con...

Hybrid microspheres of calcium carbonate/fullerenol were synthesized and characterized. Their morphology depends on the concentration of the fullerenol solutions. XRD and FT-IR measurements proved that the mineral phase is consistently calcite, while fluorescence confocal microscopy indicated that fullerenol is homogenously included in the crystalline matrix.

We have developed and tested two complementary methods for making time-lapse synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of the growth of synthetic corrosion layers using a protocol for producing copper(I) chloride (nantokite), on copper as a test. In the first method, a copper coupon was spin-coated with saturated copper(II) chloride solution in air while the surface was characterized in ...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

Hybrid sols of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Silicon oxide-titanium oxide (SiO2-TiO2) were prepared with tetraethoxylsilane and tetrabutyl titanate as precursor using Sol-Gel method. PVA/SiO2-TiO2 hybrid fibers were prepared by drawing from the hybrid sols using dip-coating method and aging treatment. The spinnability of hybrid sols was investigated. Spinnable time (t) and spinnable length (l) of ...

TaN films with different N2 partial pressure were deposited on 304 stainless steel using the magnetron sputtering method. The effect of gas pressure on the mechanical property, morphology and phase structure of the films is investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), microhardness testing, friction coefficient measurements, and wear mechanism study. The XRD results c...

An easy method was used to modify the Cloisite Na+ with different cationic surfactants. To prevent the damages in the clay crystal structure, the process was taken without acid activation. The organo-modified montmorillonite (MMT) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), field emission scanning electron microscopy ...

Polycrystalline Nd(1-x)Eu(x)NiO(3) (0≤x≤0.5) compounds were synthesized in order to investigate the character of the metal-insulator (MI) phase transition in this series. Samples were prepared through the sol-gel route and subjected to heat treatments at ∼1000 °C under oxygen pressures as high as 80 bar. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD), electrical resistivity ρ(T), ...

Cadmium Selenide (CdSe) thin films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The XRD, SEM, UV-Visible absorption spectrum, dielectric studies and photoconductivity measurements were used to characterize the CdSe films. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to examine the structure of CdSe thin film. The surface morphology of the film was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscop...
