The structures of phosphated titania and sulphated titania are studied with a combined approach using DFT/B3LYP/Lanl2DZ and experimental studies such as XRD, XPS, and DRIFT spectra. The infrared absorptions, Mulliken charges, bond lengths, and dipole moments are investigated for the phosphated and sulphated titania structures optimized by DFT calculations. The XRD patterns obtained for both the...

We report a preparation of high-quality cubic PbTe nanocrystals and their assembly into both square-array, two-dimensional patterns and three-dimensional simple cubic super crystals. The influence of oleylamine in the nanocrystal synthesis and core-shell formation through an anion-exchange mechanism was also studied. The simple cubic super crystals together with two-dimensional assembly pattern...

in this research graphene oxide was synthesized by two methods. these methods were achieved by changing the improved hummers’ and modified hummers’ methods. structure of graphene oxide was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) images, x-ray diffraction (xrd) patterns, raman spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectra. according to sem image, the thickness of graphen...

In this article, some Fe (III) doped hydroxyapatite samples (FeHAp) were prepared using the wet chemical method. The prepared samples were characterized via the use of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Detailed structural analysis were done by Scherrer and Williamson–Hall plot methods to detect the effect of iron on the structure of hydroxyapatite (HAp). XRD patter...

In this letter, we report on the obtention of hafnium oxide (HfO(2)) nanostructures by the microwave-hydrothermal method. These nanostructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission gum scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL...

The homogeneity range and crystal structure of the Mg-rich ternary solid solution has been determined using SEM, EPMA/WDS, TEM and X-ray diffraction. This compound has the Ca3MgxZn15 x (4.6 x 12) formula at 335 C. The refinement of the XRD patterns was carried out by Rietveld analysis, XRD data has shown that this solid solution crystallizes in hexagonal structure having P63/mmc (194) space gro...

The aim of this research is preparation of SnO2 nanowires by means of Thermal chemical reaction vapor transport deposition (TCRVTD) method from SnO powders. The morphology, chemical composition and microstructure properties of the nanowires are characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), EDS, and XRD. The XRD diffraction patterns reveal that the SnO2 nanowires have...

Inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonding of a series of hydroxystearic acids (HSAs) are investigated. Self-assembly of molecular gels obtained from these fatty acids with isomeric hydroxyl groups is influenced by the position of the secondary hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxystearic acid (2HSA) does not form a molecular dimer, as indicated by FT-IR, and growth along the secondary axis is inhibited because...

Article history: Received 17 March 2016 Accepted 2 May 2016 Available online 24 May 2016 Certain alumino-silicates display exotic properties enabled by their framework structuremade of corner-sharing tetrahedral rigid units. Using in situ diamond-anvil cell x-ray diffraction (XRD), we study the pressure-induced transformation of β eucryptite, a prototypical alumino-silicate that undergoes a pha...
