Yttria-stabilized Zirconia(YSZ) films were deposited on (100)Si substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering method. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the best YSZ films were cubic in structure and was grown epitaxially with (100) orientation. The (200) peak of YSZ films was 0.8° of the full width at half of the maximum, X-ray diffraction based on Seemann-Bohlin focusing geometry showed no peaks. The morphology of the YSZ films was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of the processing conditions (such as substrate temperature, oxygen partial pressure, etc.) on the structure of the film were also discussed.

Plasticized polyacrylonitrile(PAN) fibers have been chemically impregnated with aqueous solution of KMnO4under varying conditions of temperature and time. The effect of modification conditions on the chemical structure and the mechanical properties of precursor fibers are characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The experimental results show that KMnO4can be used not only as catalyst for cyclization reaction, but also as plasticizer. The chemical modification between KMnO4and PAN can not occur below70°C, the most suitable condition for modification is performed at 80°C for 5 min.

Abstract Aim of the present research was to apply a solid state reaction route to fabricate Aurivillius-type ceramics described with the formula Bi6Fe2Ti3O18 (BFTO) and reveal the influence of processing conditions on its crystal structure. Pressureless sintering in ambient air was employed and the sintering temperatures were 850 and 1080 °C. It was found that the fabricated BFTO ceramics were multiphase ones. They consisted of two Bim+1Fem-3Ti3O3m+3 phases, namely the phase with m=5 (i.e. the stoichiometric phase) and m=4 (i.e. the phase with a reduced number of layers in the slab). Detailed X-ray diffraction patterns analysis showed that both phases adopted the same orthorhombic structure described with Fmm2 (42) space group. The ratio of weight fractions of the constituent phases (m=5): (m=4) was ~30:70.

ABSTRACTA thin film superlattice heterostructure composed of alternating BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 layers was grown on a thin YBa2Cu3O7 electrode templated on a (100) SrTiO3 wafer using the pulsed laser deposition method. Stranski-Krastanov nucleation of the layers was demonstrated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) when processing conditions were maintained at 6 millitorr oxygen partial pressure, and 550 °C substrate temperatures. High-resloution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) measurements indicate that all the deformation was concentrated in the BaTiO3 layers with c/a extension to approximately 1.08. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) results indicate excellent crystallinity in the heterostructure. The microstructural data suggests that the theoretical critical thickness of the film has been surpassed by an order of magnitude.

Nanostructured hydroxyapatite (nHA) thin coatings of thickness 0.5 µm have been successfully produced using a radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique, through careful selection and control of the processing conditions. nHA coatings were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) to determine the rate of nucleation and growth of an apatite layer on their surface. A dense, newlyformed apatite layer with similar characteristics to that of the biological bone apatite, was observed after 7 days of immersion in SBF. X-ray diffraction and infrared analyses confirmed this layer to be calcium-deficient nanocrystalline carbonate HA. All these results demonstrated that the novel nHA coatings were highly bioactive, and the time-frame required to form a dense apatite layer was reduced significantly as compared to the micrometer-sized, sintered HA pellets (from 28 days to 7 days).

In this work, TiO2nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared through a well-developed hydrothermal method. The dry products were characterized by digital camera, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric method (TGA). These results suggested that TiO2NPs were well-crystallized and oleic acid-capped (OA-capped; 33.42 wt.%). In order to investigate the flocculation and stability of TiO2NPs colloids, redispersed experiments were carried out by altering the preparative parameters (e.g., redispersion solvent, washing times). In addition, the compounding stability of TiO2NPs colloids with AuNPs colloids and MnO4-solution under processing conditions (e.g., aging with stirring and under UV irradiation) were also studied. In principle, systematic investigations of flocculation and stability of TiO2NPs will be useful for their potential applications including novel photocatalysts and biosensors.
