The main purpose of this work was to carry out a low-temperature synthesis of glass ceramics containing YNbO4:Eu3+ crystallites and to study the structural and luminescent properties of the obtained samples. Within the framework of this work, the inclusions that crystallized under the conditions of low-temperature synthesis in the systems of SiO2-Na2O-K2O-Y2O3-Nb2O5-Eu2O3 (SiNaK) and B2O5-Na2O-Y2O3-Nb2O5-Eu2O3 (BNa) were investigated for the first time. It was shown that YNbO4: Eu3+ crystallized in both considered systems. In the SiNaK system the crystallization of SiO2 also occurred (quartz, crisstabolite, and tridymite) under the selected conditions. The BNa system proved to be the most promising for the synthesis of activated glass-ceramics with YNbO4, since the required crystallites crystallized only in ithis system. The luminescent properties of crystalline inclusions were investigated using the local cathodoluminescence technique. The composition and structure of glass ceramics were studied by electron-probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction phase analysis.

Using a low temperature synthesis protocol, it was possible to obtain phase-pure synthetic aegirine (NaFeSi2O6) at temperatures as low as 130 °C, albeit only with rather long synthesis times of ~200 h; at 155 °C, a nano-crystallite shaped phase-pure material is formed after 24 h. These are, to the best of our knowledge, the lowest temperatures reported so far for phase-pure aegirine synthesis. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to characterize phase purity, structural state and microstructural properties (size and strain) of the as-synthesized (130–230 °C) and heat treated (300–900 °C) samples, via Rietveld analysis of powder patterns. Melting was observed at 999 °C. With increasing synthesis temperature, crystallite size linearly increased from 10 nm to 30 nm at 230 °C, while unit cell parameters decreased. The microstrain was very small. Additional heat treatment of as synthesized samples showed that the crystallite size remained rather unaffected up to 700 °C. The lattice parameters, however, already changed at low temperatures and successively became smaller, indicating increasing ordering towards more regular arrangements of building units. This was confirmed by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, where a distinct decrease of the quadrupole splitting with increasing synthesis temperature was found. Finally, Raman spectroscopy showed that some weakly-developed pre-ordering effects were present in the samples, which appeared to be amorphous in PXRD, while well-resolved spectra appeared as soon as the long-range ordered crystalline state could be found with X-ray diffraction.

A method of metalorganic compounds pyrolysis for low-temperature (about 500–600 oC) synthesis of perovskites PbTiO3 and PbZrO3 was tested to obtain films of this structures on sapphire substrates. The qualitative and quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) of the films was carried out. The analysis showed that films obtained at 550 oC contain perovskites PbZrO3 and PbTi3O7.

AbstractHeating hydrous manganese (II) hydroxide gel at 85 °C for 12 hours produces Mn3O4 nanoparticles. They were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The particle size estimated from the SEM and X-ray peak broadening is approximately 32 nm, showing them to be nanocrystalline. EPR measurements confirm a typical Mn2+signal with a highly resolved hyperfine structure.

In the present work, ZIF-8/6FDA-durene mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were synthesized and characterized. ZIF-8 nanocrystals, which were used as the inorganic filler, were synthesized using rapid room-temperature synthesis method whereas 6FDA-durene polyimide was synthesized by polycondensation method followed by chemical imidization. Pure and 6FDA-durene membranes loaded with 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt% of ZIF-8 were fabricated. The structural properties and morphology of the resultant membranes were characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) . The EDX images showed that ZIF-8 particles agglomerated in the polymer matrix. However, no phase separation was observed for all resultant MMMs.

The ecandrewsite-type ZnTiO3was successfully synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using TiO2dioxide and zinc nitrate as starting materials instead of expensive organic solvent and metal alkoxides. The as-prepared nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results showed that the calcination process of gel consisted of a series of oxidation and combustion reactions, accompanied by significantly exothermal effects. Highly reactive nanosized ZnTiO3powders were successfully obtained at 850 °C with particle size ~50 nm. By comparison, the aqueous sol-gel process was the most effective and least expensive technique used for the preparation of ZnTiO3nanopowders.

The fabrication of intermetallic/ceramic composites by combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) was investigated in the Al–Ni–Ti system with the addition of B4C. Two reaction systems were employed: one was used to produce the composites of xNiAl–2TiB2–TiC with x = 2–7, and the other was used to synthesize yNi3Al–2TiB2–TiC with y = 2–7. The reaction mechanism of the Al–Ni–Ti system was strongly influenced by the presence of B4C. The reaction of B4C with Ti was highly exothermic, so the reaction temperature and combustion velocity decreased due to increasing levels of Ni and Al in the reactant mixture. The activation energies of Ea = 110.6 and 172.1 kJ/mol were obtained for the fabrication of NiAl- and Ni3Al-based composites, respectively, by the SHS reaction. The XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis showed an in situ formation of intermetallic (NiAl and Ni3Al) and ceramic phases (TiB2 and TiC) and confirmed no reactions taking place between Ti and Al or Ni. The microstructure of the product revealed large NiAl and Ni3Al grains and small TiB2 and TiC particles. With the addition of TiB2 and TiC, the hardness of NiAl and Ni3Al was considerably increased and the toughness was also improved.

ABSTRACTWe present a novel synthesis technique to grow bulk quantities of semiconductor nanowires at temperatures less than 500 °C. Gallium is used as the liquid medium in a mechanism similar to vapor-liquid-solid (VLS). We demonstrated this low temperature technique with silicon and carbon nanowires. Gallium exhibits extremely low solubility for several elemental semiconductors. This property enables nucleation and growth of nanometer scale wires from large sized gallium droplets (>1 μm) eliminating the need for creation of quantum sized metal droplets.
