Indium Oxide quasi one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures known as nanowires and nanorods synthesis using the thermal evaporation method, has been articulated. To nucleate growth sites, substrate seeding promoted 1D nanostructures growth. The catalyst-mediated growth mechanism showed more favorable morphologies and physical properties in under vacuum conditions associated with bottom-up technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the Zn -doped 1D nanostructures had spherical caps. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum indicated that these caps intensively associated with ZnO . Therefore, it was reasonable that the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism (VLS) was responsible for the growth of the In 2 O 3- ZnO heterostructure nanowires. This technique enhances optical and electrical properties in nanostructures. The photoluminescence (PL) analysis in Zn -doped In 2 O 3 nanowires and nanorods shows that the intensity of the visible and UV-region emissions overwhelmingly increases and resistance measurement professes the improvement of linear conductance in VLS growth mechanism.

CuO nanostructures were synthesized by thermal evaporation method using Cu metal plate in air at temperatures ranging from 400 to 600 C for 6 h. The CuO nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, XRD and field emission scanning electron microscopy, FE-SEM. X-ray diffraction, XRD pattern showed the bicrystal nanostructure of CuO and Cu2O. FE-SEM images indicated that the nanowires depended on temperatures. The diameter of Cuo nanowires varies from 10 nm to 20 nm and length of several 5 micrometers.

Hexagonal MgAl2O4 spinel fibers were synthesized at 1500oC for 6h in nitrogen atmosphere. The structure and morphology of the fibers were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fibers grew via vapor- liquid- solid mechanism. The twin mechanism was suggested to play a key role in the formation process of the hexagonal fibers.

Experimental clay mineral-organic molecule complexes long have been known and some of them have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The organic molecules are adsorbed onto the surfaces of the clay minerals, or intercalated between the silicate layers. Natural organo-clays also are widely recognized but generally have not been well characterized. Widely used techniques for clay mineral identification involve treatment of the sample with H2 O2 or other oxidant to destroy any associated organics. This generally simplifies and intensifies the XRD pattern of the clay residue, but helps little with the characterization of the original organoclay. Adequate techniques for the direct observation of synthetic and naturally occurring organoclays are yet to be developed.

Lead selenide PbSe thin films of different thicknesses (300, 500, and 700 nm) were deposited under vacuum using thermal evaporation method on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that increasing of thickness lead to well crystallize the prepared samples, such that the crystallite size increases while the dislocation density decreases with thickness increasing. A.C conductivity, dielectric constants, and loss tangent are studied as function to thickness, frequency (10kHz-10MHz) and temperatures (293K-493K). The conductivity measurements confirm confirmed that hopping is the mechanism responsible for the conduction process. Increasing of thickness decreases the thermal activation energy estimated from Arhinus equation is found to decrease with thickness increasing. The increase of thickness lead to reduce the polarizability α while the increasing of temperature lead to increase α.

A method is outlined that allows the determination of one-dimensional stress gradients at length scales greater than 0.2 mm. By using standard four-circle X-ray diffractometer equipment and simple aperture components, length resolutions down to 0.05 mm in one direction can be achieved through constant orientation of a narrow, line-shaped beam spot. Angle calculations are given for the adjustment of goniometer angles, and for the effective azimuth and tilt of the scattering vector for general angle settings in a four-circle goniometer. The latter is necessary for the computation of stresses from lattice strain measurements.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

AbstractThe cyano-bridged heteronuclear coordination polymer of zinc(II)/nickel(II) has been prepared by N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylendiamine (hydet-en), alternatively named 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol and characterised by IR and thermal analysis. In the bimetallic complex, the decomposition of hydet-en ligands is seen to be endothermic whereas that of the cyano ligands is found to be exothermic. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the zinc(II)-nickel(II) complex consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain –Zn(hydet-en)

Abstract In a study aim ed at the „deconstruction“ of the supramolecular aggregate 3(18C6) · 2HN( SO2Me)2 (1,18C6 = 18-crown-6), which is known to display a ladder structure with two isotactic [18C6 - Me SO2N(H)SO2Me···)∞ polymers forming the uprights and symmetrically N - H···O bonded 18C6 rings providing the rungs, the following crystalline complexes were isolated and (except for 2b) characterized by low-temperature X-ray diffraction: 18C6-ClN (SO2Me)2 (2a, triclinic, space group P1̅, Z = 2), 18C6-PhN (SO2Me)2 (2b), 18C6 -MeN(SO2Me)2 (3, monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 8), Bz18C6-HN(SO2Me)2 (4, Bz18C6 = benzo-18-crown-6, monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 4), 18C6-2 MeN (SO2Me)2 (5, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 1), 18C6-Me2SO- HN( SO2Me) (SO2Ph) (13, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 2), and 18C6-H2OMe2SO·2HN(SO2Me)2 (14, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 2). Each of the one-dimensional polymers 2a (syndiotactic), 3 (disyndiotactic) and 4 (isotactic) mimics a single upright of 1; in contrast to 1 and 2a, where the intra-catemer connectivity solely relies on S - Me ··· crow n and crown ··· O = S hydrogen bonds, this bonding system is reinforced in 3 by N -Me ··· crown and in 4 by N - H ··· crown hydrogen bonds. Complex 5 is monomeric and matches a fragment formally extruded from the catemer 3; moreover, 3 and 5 represent a rare case of two structurally characterized 18C6 complexes containing the same uncharged guest species in distinct molecular ratios. The surprising structure of the quaternary adduct 14 exhibits an [18C6 ··· MeSO2N(H)SO2Me ··· ]∞ chain, which can be regarded both as an isolated, though unmodified upright from the ladder 1 and, being syndiotactic, as a stereochemical analogue of 2a; the potentially rung-forming *NH functions in the chain are blocked by hydrogenbonded side chains of the type * N - H ··· water ··· sulfoxide ··· H - N (SO2Me)2. The ternary complex 13 consists of chains [18C6 ··· Me2SO ··· H - N (SO2Ph)SO2Me···]∞ and is not closely related to the other structures

A new mononuclear europium complex incorporating the (+)-di-p-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid (D-H2DTTA) ligand, namely, catena-poly[tris{μ2-3-carboxy-2,3-bis[(4-methylphenyl)carbonyloxy]propanoato}tris(methanol)europium(III)], [Eu(C20H17O8)3(CH3OH)3] n , (I), has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure analysis indicates that complex (I) crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3 and exhibits an infinite one-dimensional chain structure, in which the Eu3+ ion is surrounded by six O atoms from six D-HDTTA− ligands and three O atoms from three coordinated methanol molecules, thus forming a tricapped trigonal prism geometry. The D-H2DTTA ligand is partially deprotonated and adopts a μ1,6-coordination mode via two carboxylate groups to link adjacent Eu3+ ions, affording an infinite one-dimensional propeller-shaped coordination polymer chain along the c axis, with an Eu...Eu distance of 7.622 (1) Å. Moreover, C—H...π interactions lead to the formation of helical chains running along the c axis and the whole structure displays a snowflake pattern in the ab plane. The circular dichroism spectrum confirms the chirality of complex (I). The solid-state photoluminescence properties were also investigated at room temperature and (I) exhibits characteristic red emission bands derived from the Eu3+ ion (CIE 0.63, 0.32), with a reasonably long lifetime of 0.394 ms, indicating effective energy transfer from the ligand to the metal centre. In addition, a magnetic investigation reveals single-ion magnetic behaviour. The spin-orbit coupling parameter (λ) between the ground and excited states is fitted to be 360 (2) cm−1 through Zeeman perturbation. Therefore, complex (I) may be regarded as a chiral optical-magneto bifunctional material.
