The annealing effect on the structural perfection of Fe-doped LiNbO3single crystals has been studied by high-resolution X-ray diffractometry (HRXRD), X-ray topography (XRT) and Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectroscopy. The single crystals, prepared by mixing Li2CO3and Nb2O5powders in the molar ratio 48.6:51.4 with 0.05 mol% of iron at 1415 (1) K, were grown by the Czochralski (CZ) method along the [001] direction in air and poled during crystal growth by the application of a DC field. Two low-angle (tilt angle ∼1 arc minute) structural grain boundaries were observed in as-grown specimens. FT–IR spectra revealed that these crystals contain OH−and CO32−ionic defects. Grain boundaries and CO32−ionic defects were successfully removed, while the concentration of OH−ions was considerably reduced by post-growth thermal annealing at elevated temperatures.

A series of Fe3+-dopped polyaniline (Fe3+/PANI) nanomaterials with different morphologies and a higher conductivity were successfully synthesized using a simple and static interfacial polymerization by using FeCl3 as both oxidant catalyst and dopant. The effect of surfactants CTAB and SDS and the concentration of FeCl3 on the morphology and conductivity of Fe3+/PANI nanomaterial were investigated. The samples were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), SDY-4 probes conductivity meter, X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy techniques. TEM’s results showed that their morphologies changed with the type of the surfactant and the concentration of FeCl3. Introducing surfactants CTAB and SDS into Fe3+/PANI remarkably improved the conductivity of the material. The conductivities of CTAB/Fe3+/PANI and SDS /Fe3+/PANI nanomaterials were respectively about 4.8×10-2 and 1.3×10-2 S/cm while the conductivity of Fe3+/PANI was found to be 1.5×10-4 S/cm. The different morphology and high conductivity may be ascribed to the mutual effects of the surfactant and oxidant.

Single crystals of pure and Lanthanum doped L-Alanine Tartrate were grown by slow evaporation method. The cell parameters were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction method. To improve the physical properties of the LAT crystal, Lanthanum dopant was added by 2 mol%. ICP studies confirm the presence of Lanthanum in the grown LAT crystal. Transparency range of the crystal was determined using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The functional groups of pure and doped LAT crystals were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Using Vickers microhardness tester, mechanical strength of the material was found. Dielectric studies of pure and doped LAT single crystals were carried out. The doped LAT crystal is found to have efficiency higher than that of pure LAT crystal.

AbstractPosnjakite nanoparticles, Cu4SO4(OH)6 · H2O, were synthesized by utilizing a new thio-Schiff base ligand as new capping agent via a microwave approach. The effects of molar ratio, surfactants, heating time and microwave power on morphology of the product were investigated. The as-synthesized posnjakite nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The effects of different parameters such as the molar ratio, surfactants, microwave power and irradiation time on the morphology of the products were investigated. Moreover, adsorption of methylene orange dye on posnjakite nanoparticles was considered and the uptake percent was determined to be >65% in 200 min.

The double-layered hydroxide nano-particles compounds with ciprofloxacin drug were carried out by preparation of the double layered hydroxide (DLH) of M+3/M+2 ions for selective ions. The ciprofloxacin drug was inserted between them. The resulted compounds were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy; the antibacterial studied done by using the gram (+) and gram (-) pigments.

In this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are modified by chitosan as a natural cationic amino polysaccharide. Halloysite nanotubes/chitosan (HNTs/Chit) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Also, its performance as a heterogeneous catalyst was investigated in the synthesis of pyranopyrazole derivatives. Being a reusable and easily recoverable catalyst, eco-friendliness, high efficiency, and mild reaction conditions are some advantages of the present work.

Here, we report the synthesis and experimental characterization of three drug-drug eutectic mixtures of drug aminoglutethimide (AMG) with caffeine (CAF), nicotinamide (NIC) and ethenzamide (ZMD). The eutectic mixtures i.e., AMG-CAF (1:0.4, molar ratio), AMG-NIC (1:1.9, molar ratio) and AMG-ZMD (1:1.4, molar ratio) demonstrate significant melting point depressions ranging from 99.2 to 127.2 °C compared to the melting point of the drug AMG (151 °C) and also show moderately higher aqueous solubilities than that of the AMG. The results presented include the determination of the binary melt phase diagrams and accompanying analytical characterization via X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

A new dinuclear paddle-wheel copper(II) complex with caffeine was synthesized by the solvent-based and mechanochemical methods from copper(II) acetate and caffeine in a 1:1 molar ratio. Mechanochemical synthesis was found to be the fastest and easiest way to prepare the complex. The reaction proceeds with addition of small amounts of methanol or ethanol. The complex was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermoanalytical methods (TG and DSC) and X-ray diffraction methods. The molecular and crystal structure was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complex molecule consists of a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit, Cu2(-Ac)4(caf)2, with two copper(II) atoms bridged by four acetato groups, and N-coordinated caffeine (caf) molecules in the apical posi-tions.

Trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO), C24H51OP, was recrystallized from ambient evaporation in acetone. TOPO single crystals form with a monoclinicP21/cstructure. Fourier transform IR (FT–IR) spectroscopy captures the characteristic stretching modes from the seven methylene groups, the phosphoryl P=O bond, and the phosphoryl–carbon bond.

Using stearic acid as modifier, the surface of mica pearl pigment organic modification technology are discussed in this paper, and the application effect of after modified. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the effect of surface modification. Electrostatic spraying test (EST) and Chromatism test were used to characterize the application effect of after modified. The results showed that the stearic acid could be successfully grafted on the surface of mica pearl pigment and enhanced hydrophobicity. Besides, it was demonstrated that the mica pearl pigment treated with stearic acid could make the value of chromatism deviation are low, which also could significantly improve the powder spraying ratio at low spray voltages.
