Different samples of ZnS nanoparticals were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature using zincsulphate as zinc source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. Structural properties of synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) while optical properties were examined by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. XRD pattern showed the as synth...

The microstructure of three different nanocrystalline materials with hexagonal crystal structure are studied by X-ray diffraction peak profile analysis. The crystallite size distribution and the dislocation structure are determined in plasmathermal silicon nitride powder, sintered tungsten carbide and severely deformed titanium and are compared with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the crystallographic characteristics of 3 sets of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings prepared with different degrees of crystallinity on Ti-6Al-4V substrates. X-ray diffraction analyses were performed on the coatings to determine mean percent crystallinity, calcium phosphate phases present, average crystallite size, and residual strain. The ...

We report a Monte Carlo study of the pathway for crystal nucleation in a fluid of hard, colloidal rods. In the earliest stages of nucleation, a lamellar crystallite forms. Subsequent thickening of this lamella is hampered by the fact that the top and bottom surfaces of this crystallite are preferentially covered by rods that align parallel to the surface. As a consequence, subsequent growth of ...

Samples of AIN grown on silicon [111] substrates were examined using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and selected area diffraction (SAD) with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine the source of out-of-plane tilts and in-plane rotations of the AIN crystallite at the Si interface. SAD results indicate that the interracial crystallite are sheared along vertic...

Nanocrystallite size distribution and structural properties in alternating hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon/amorphous silicon multilayers were investigated by means of Raman scattering. The obtained Raman spectra show a broad peak at ;480 cm from amorphous Si and some small peaks superposed on the broad peak. According to the positions of the crystallite peak, the mean crystallite size and ...

The aim of said study was to obtain nanostructured La2ZnO4 through self combustion synthesis using lanthanum nitrate, znic nitrate as precursors and glycine as a fuel, without the subsequent heat treatments after synthesis. The temperature variation with respect to a sample with constant molar ratio was investigated. The crystallinity ( phases present and crystallite size: estimated by single-l...

We present depth-resolved grazing incidence x-ray diffraction, grazing incidence small angle scattering and x-ray reflectivity studies on the structure of mixed C(60) and diindinoperylene (DIP) films as a function of the mixing ratio. We observe enhanced out-of-plane order and smoothing of the mixed films compared to pure films upon coevaporation of DIP:C(60) thin films (in different mixing rat...

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method at different pH values (3.2-6.8) with a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Raw samples were calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. The effects of pH on the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. At pH 4.4-6.8, only the anatase phase of TiO2 was observed. Under strong acidic condition...

superparamagnetic single phase zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by coprecipitation method at 20 °c without any subsequent calcination. the composition, crystallite size, microstructure and magnetic properties of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated using x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), transmission electron microscope (tem), fou...
