The synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe3Al powder by mechanical alloying as well as the structural ordering of the synthesized Fe3Al particles during the subsequent thermal analysis were investigated. Mechanical alloying was performed up to 100 hours using a planetary ball mill apparatus with rotational speed of 300 rpm under argon atmosphere at ambient temperature. The synthesized powders were cha...

Pb2MReO6 (M = Co, Cr) perovskites were prepared by high pressure−high temperature method. Rietveld refinements of synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction show that the crystal structure of Pb2CoReO6 is trigonal (space group R-3) with almost complete ordering of Co and Re cations, while Pb2CrReO6 (space group Pm-3m) is a cubic perovskite with one single site for Cr and Re atoms. The difference betw...

We report the synthesis of silver-decanethiolate (AgSC10) lamellar crystals. Nanometer-sized Ag clusters grown on inert substrates react with decanethiol vapor to form multilayer AgSC10 lamellar crystals with both layer-by-layer and in-plane ordering. The crystals have strong (010) texture with the layers parallel to the substrates. The synthesis method allows for a precise control of the numbe...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

the structure of the nonaaquayttrium (iii) bromate, [y(h2o)9](bro3)3, at low temperature (100 k) has been studied by means of single-crystal x-ray diffraction. crystallography shows a hexagonal unit cell, space group p63/mmc (no. 194) with z = 2, a = b = 11.7104(11) å, c = 6.6259(5) å and v = 786.90(12) å3 at 100 k. the hydrated trivalent yttrium(iii) ion forms a tricapped trigonal prism, in wh...

in this research calcium fluoride nanoparticles and its different amount of cerium ion dopant (5%and 10%) were prepared. the mentioned nanoparticle were studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) , x-ray diffraction (xrd), absorption and photoluminescence spectra (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the xrd patterns indicate a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other...

x-ray diffraction peak profile analysis was used to identify changes in the lattice distortions during isothermal aging of fe-10ni-7mn (wt. %) maraging steel. integral peak breadths were analyzed using classical williamson-hall equation taking the elastic anisotropy into account. it was found that substantial lattice distortions rise during precipitation hardening which depend strongly on the s...
