In this paper, employing Cu(AC)2•H2O, SnCl2•2H2O and thiourea as raw materials, the composites of graphene/Cu2SnS3 quantum dots (QDs) were prepared simply and quickly using the hydrothermal method. Meanwhile, the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs were also synthesized in the same way. The as-obtained Cu2SnS3 QDs and composites’ phase structures were analyzed and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the results indicated that the size of the Cu2SnS3 QDs in the composites were less than that of the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs. At the same time, their morphologies were also observed and cross-confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the measurements manifested that Cu2SnS3 QDs were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the graphene, while the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs have obvious glomeration. In addition to this, elemental analysis was also made to verify the existence of Cu2SnS3 on the surface of graphene.

In this work, we synthesized oxides with perovskite LnFeO3 type structure (where Ln = La, Pr and Nd), aiming their use as ceramic pigments. The as-synthesized powders, prepared by gelatin method, were thermally treated at 600 and 800 ?C to obtain the perovskite phase. The characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction technique, followed by Rietveld refinement, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, spectroscopy in the UV-Visible region and CIE Lab colorimetry. The calcined powders were also used for fabrication of ceramic pieces to evaluate the colour when 2 wt.% of the powders was added into a transparent glaze. The pigments presented shades ranging from pale brown for the powdered samples to yellowish when applied in the glazes.

In the present work we have synthesized Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes using hydrothermal method, and studied the effect of annealing temperature on the crystalinity of the nanotubes. The nanotubes obtained were annealed at 400o C and 600o C. In order to elucidate the changes caused by the annealing temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used. The composites of titania nanotubes and CdSe quantum dots were prepared using bifunctional linker, mercaptopropionic acid. The nanocomposites were characterized using TEM and XDR. The optical propierties of the modified TiO2 nanotubes and their composites with CdSe (for potential solar cell applications) were characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra.

Eu(iii) and Tb(iv) activators were embedded in quantum size SnO2 nanoparticles by a hydrothermal method and their morphologies, crystal structures and spectroscopic properties were examined by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography, UV-visible absorption, and 2D/3D-photoluminescence mapping.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.
