AbstractIn our investigation, V doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films were prepared on glass substrates by dip coating sol-gel technique. Chemical composition of the samples was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Transmittance of the samples was characterized using UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Subsequently band-gap energy (Eg) was estimated for these films. Powders obtained from sols were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. It was found that vanadium decreases optical band gap of SSiO2/TiO2 films.

AbstractNickel Chromite nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via a modified sol-gel method using nickel acetate and ammonium dichromate in melted stearic acid as a complexing agent. The diffractograms of the nanoparticles confirmed a pure formation of NiCr2O4 spinel without any minor phase. The coordination structure of as prepared nanoparticles shows a series of absorption bands below 1,000 cm−1 were evidenced the M-O (Cr-O, Ni-O) bond in the sample. Optical band gap, magnetic properties and color parameters (L*.a*.b*) indicates that the final nanoparticles are optically and magnetically active. The particle size of NiCr2O4 was calculated using Scherrer equation at about 24 nm. Optical band gap obtained at 1.7 eV indicating that NiCr2O4 nanoparticles are semiconductor material and can be used in electrical devices.

ABSTRACTThe sol-gel technique was used to fabricate α-Fe/mullite composite materials with iron concentrations ranging from 20–60 wt.% Fe. Microscopy studies showed the microstructure to consist of particulate α-Fe dispersed uniformly throughout a mullite matrix. Iron particle size, estimated by TEM, ranged from 20–500 nm. The materials exhibited ferromagnetic hysteresis with saturation magnetization Ms values as high as 115 EMU/g.

AbstractSemiconductor PbS quantum dot-doped Ormocers were successfully prepared by the sol-gel technique. Ormocers preparation was based on the use of trifunctional silane precursors at the solution stage. Formation of PbS particles took place in the pores of the Ormocers through lead precursor reaction with H2S gas. It was observed that temperature was an important factor in the reaction leading to the first appearance of PbS particles. The dot size of PbS was controlled through chemical interaction with the non-hydrolyzed groups of the trifunctional silane precursors. These groups prevent uncontrolled nucleation and aggregation processes during the particle formation and growth. The control of particle size was studied at different conditions for nucleation and aggregation. Determination of the average particle size was done by XR-Diffraction. Optical absorption spectra were also measured at the UV-VIS wavelength range. Absorption edge blue shifts show the quantum confinement effect in these materials.

Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders were successfully synthesized by natural biopolymers based sol-gel technique. The biopolymers were extracted from the leaves of Yanang (Tiliacora triandra), Krueo Ma Noy (Cissampelos pareira) and Konjac (Amorphophallus konjac). To obtain HAp powders, the prepared precursors were calcined in air at 600, 700, and 800 °C for 2 h. The phase composition of the calcined samples was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The XRD results confirmed the formation of HAp phase with a small trace of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). The crystalline sizes of the samples were found to be 20-50 nm as evaluated by the XRD line broadening method. TEM investigation revealed that the synthesized HAp samples consisted of nanoparticles with a particle size in the range of 50-100 nm in diameter. The corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis further confirmed the formation of hexagonal structure of HAp.
