Positron lifetimes in C 60 and C 70 fullerenes have been measured using Positron Lifetime technique. The analyzed lifetime spectra yields a single lifetime component in agreement with the earlier measurements. XRD measurements have also been used to characterize the fullerene samples. The C 60 and C 70 fullerenes have regular crystallographic face centered cubic structure with lattice constant a = 14.149 Å and 14.903 Å respectively in good agreement with the literature data. The present positron results clearly support the conclusion that positrons do not form positronium in fullerenes.

A new approach is presented for calculating the parent orientation from sets of variants of orientations produced by phase transformation. The parent austenite orientation is determined using the orientations of bainite variants that transformed from a single parent austenite grain. In this approach, the five known orientation relationships are used to back transform each observed bainite variant to all their potential face-centered-cubic (f.c.c.) parent orientations. A set of potential f.c.c. orientations has one representative from each bainite variant, and each set is assembled on the basis of minimum mutual misorientation. The set of back-transformed orientations with the minimum summation of mutual misorientation angle (SMMA) is selected as the most probable parent (austenite) orientation. The availability of multiple sets permits a confidence index to be calculated from the best and next best fits to a parent orientation. The results show good agreement between the measured parent austenite orientation and the calculated parent orientation having minimum SMMA.

The CuI thin film has been successfully prepared by using cathodic electrodeposition method. The synthesized film was characterized using advanced techniques such as XRD, SEM-EDX and UV measurements. The films are crystallized in face centered cubic structure. The crystallinity is increasing for the applied potential of-0.3 V and the crystallinity deteriorates on increasing the potential above - 0.3 V. It was also observed that the applied voltage plays an important role. Homogeneously distributed triangular faceted morphology was observed from SEM. This is consistent with the result of XRD that electrodeposited CuI thin films grow preferential orientation along the (111) crystal plane.

The influence of the type of crystal structure of complex gadolinium oxides on their catalytic activity was studied using a wide range of physicochemical methods. It was shown that the synthesized nanocrystalline powders Gd2Zr2O7 form highly symmetric face-centered cubic crystal structures. In the course of catalytic experiments, it was found that the formation of a cubic structure increases the degree of conversion of propane and the shift of cracking temperatures to a lower area. The formation of various defects contributes to the course of the dehydrogenation or degradation reaction due to the different number of catalytic centers.

This paper focuses on the simulations of nanometric grinding process on face centered cubic structure (FCC) single metal crystals (Cu, Ni) using Molecular dynamics. In order to analyze the plastic deformation of sample metals in nanometric grinding processes, we propose an approach using techniques of central symmetry parameters and neighbor changing ratios. The simulation results show that besides the normal dislocation defects, weak slipping defects locating on {111} crystal planes are found under the surface layer. In addition, the distribution of the neighbor changing ratio indicates that the nano grinding processes will likely cause the global plastic deformation in the surface layer.
