NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal process, and the effect of temperature on them was studied. The particles were annealed at various temperatures ranging from 413 to 1473 K. Studies were carried out using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and a vibrating sample magnetometer. The annealing temperature had a significant effect on the magnetic and structural parameters, such as the crystallite size, lattice parameter, magnetization and coercivity.

Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanopowder has been synthesized by hydrothermal method. MnO2 was annealed at different temperatures (250, 400, 550, 700˚C). The crystal structure and surface morphology of these nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The catalase mimic activity (catalytic activity) of MnO2 against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was studied by using the new method and found that 400˚C is the best annealing temperature.

Cu–Mn–Dy resistive thin films were prepared on glass and Al2O3 substrates, which wasachieved by co-sputtering the Cu–Mn alloy and dysprosium targets. The effects of the addition ofdysprosium on the electrical properties and microstructures of annealed Cu–Mn alloy films wereinvestigated. The composition, microstructural and phase evolution of Cu–Mn–Dy films werecharacterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electronmicroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All Cu–Mn–Dy films showed an amorphous structure when theannealing temperature was set at 300 °C. After the annealing temperature was increased to 350 °C,the MnO and Cu phases had a significant presence in the Cu–Mn films. However, no MnO phaseswere observed in Cu–Mn–Dy films at 350 °C. Even Cu–Mn–Dy films annealed at 450 °C showedno MnO phases. This is because Dy addition can suppress MnO formation. Cu–Mn alloy filmswith 40% dysprosium addition that were annealed at 300 °C exhibited a higher resistivity of ∼2100 μΩ·cm with a temperature coefficient of resistance of –85 ppm/°C.

Thin SiO2ZrO2films were prepared, up to 0.2 μm thick, by means of the sol–gel technology and characterized by a Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is shown the presence of monoclinic, cubic and tetragonal phases of ZrO2in the SiO2matrix. The crystallites sizes depend on the annealing temperature of the film and amount to 35 and 56 nm for the films annealed at 773 and 973 K, respectively. The films resistance is rather sensitive to the presence of NO2and O3impurity in air at lower operating temperatures in the range of 30-60°C.

Polycrystalline CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics were prepared by solid state reactions by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. In this study, the effects of the dwell temperature on structural, microstructural and dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics have been investigated. Powder mixtures were calcined at 900°C for 18 h before SPS consolidation. The dwell temperatures were 850, 900, 915 and 930°C. Sintered pellets were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and impedance spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction patterns show evidences of a single-phase perovskite-type structure. The calculated lattice parameter is 7.40 Å. The hydrostatic density increases slightly with increasing dwell temperature. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed a heterogeneous microstructure for all samples. The dielectric loss remains constant over a wide temperature range. The obtained permittivity is approximately 103 at 1 kHz. The increase of the dwell temperature is found to produce a brittle ceramic.

In this study, HfxZr1-xO2 (0 < x < 1) thin films were deposited on silicon wafers using a dip-coating technique and by using a precursor solution prepared by the Pechini route. The effects of annealing temperature on the structure and morphological properties of the proposed films were investigated. HfxZr1-xO2 thin films with 1, 3 and 5 layers were annealed in air for 2 h at 600 and 800 °C and the structural and morphological properties studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results show that the films have monoclinic and tetragonal structure depending of the Hf and Zr concentration. SEM photographs show that all films consist of nanocrystalline grains with sizes in the range of 6 - 13 nm. The total film thickness is about 90 nm.

Monoclinic La2(WO4)3 nanophosphors codoped with Tm3+ and Yb3+ ions were synthesized via hydrothermal process followed by heat treatment. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize as-prepared samples. The dependences of Yb3+/ concentration and laser pumping power on the upconversion emissions were extensively investigated. The results show that upconversion luminescence increases with the Yb3+/ concentration and gets its peak at 30 %. The upconversion mechanism and process in the Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped La2(WO4)3 phosphors were analysed.

Subscript textThe Co3O4 nanocubes were synthesized by hydrothermal process. The products are characterized in detail by multiform techniques: scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results show that the products are uniform nanocubes with an average crystallite size about 20-40 nm. Electrocatalytic property of the prepared Co3O4 nanocubes was characterized by linear sweep voltammetry. LSV results indicate that Co3O4 nanocubes exhibit a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the H2O2 reduction.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of temperature and heating rate on the densification of two leucite-based dental porcelains: one low-fusion and one high-fusion commercial leucite porcelains (Dentsply-Ceramco). Porcelain powders were characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size distribution, and helium picnometry. Bar samples were sintered from 650 to 1050oC, using heating rate of 55oC and 10oC/min. Sintered samples were characterized in terms of bulk density, measured by the Archimedes method in water, and fractured surface microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that densification increases with increasing temperature and the increase in heating rate has no effect on the densification of the porcelains studied.

ABSTRACTCast Mo-Mo3Si intermetallic composites develop microcracks after annealing at high temperature. Neutron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, composition analysis, and scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize the structural changes induced by annealing of Mo-Mo3Si. It is shown that the observed cracking cannot be attributed to differential thermal stresses that developed on cooling from the annealing temperature. Instead, the experimental data suggest that the cracks were initiated at high temperature, possibly due to diffusion of Si atoms from supersaturated α-Mo to Mo3Si.

Ni-Zn-Al mixed ferrite nanoparticles, with general formula NixZn1-xAlFeO4 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0), were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion technique. All prepared ferrite nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. X-ray diffraction study confirmed the formation of the single phase cubic spinel structure in all ferrite samples. The crystallite size was calculated by the Debye-Scherrer formula and found to be in the range 15-46 nm. The lattice constant decreased with increasing Ni2+ ion concentration. Scanning electron microscopy images clearly indicate that the particles are very small but agglomerated. Energy dispersive X-ray was used to confirm the composition of the prepared powders. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed two main absorption bands of ferrite nanoparticles, the high frequency band (?1) around 600 cm-1 and the low frequency band (?2) around 400 cm-1 arising from tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) interstitial sites in the spinel lattice, respectively. Vibrating sample magnetometer results reported that the saturation magnetization, remanent magnetization and magnetic moments decrease with increasing Ni2+ion concentration.
