Titanium dioxide ([Formula: see text]) is a kind of wide bandgap transparent metal oxide semiconductor and has shown great potential applications in photocatalysis, gas sensors and biomedical fields due to its superior properties, such as nontoxic, high photocatalytic efficiency and physicochemical stability. In this work, one-dimensional [Formula: see text] nanostructure was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology and crystalline quality of [Formula: see text] were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The results demonstrate that the structure of [Formula: see text] evolved from “flower-like” structure to nanowire with the acid concentration increment. The sintering temperature has an important effect on the structure and crystalline quality of [Formula: see text]. The crystalline quality of [Formula: see text] nanobelt was improved with the annealing temperature increment. When the sintering temperature increased to 1000[Formula: see text]C, the phase of [Formula: see text] would transfer from anatase to rutile.

A novel Cu(II) complex based on the Schiff base obtained by the condensation of ortho-vanillin with gamma-aminobutyric acid was synthesized. The compounds are physico-chemically characterized by elemental analysis, HR-ESI-MS, FT-IR, and UV-Vis. The complex and the Schiff base ligand are further structurally identified by single crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H and 13C-NMR, respectively. The results suggest that the Schiff base are synthesized in excellent yield under mild reaction conditions in the presence of glacial acetic acid and the crystal structure of its Cu(II) complex reflects an one-dimensional polymeric compound. The molecular structure of the complex consists of a Cu(II) ion bound to two singly deprotonated Schiff base bridging ligands that form a CuN2O4 chelation environment, and a coordination sphere with a disordered octahedral geometry.

Natural FeTiO 3 (illuminate) and synthesized FeTiO 3, single crystals were characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy combined with channeling technique and particle-induced x-ray emission (RBS-C and PIXE). The results obtained by the ion beam analysis were supplemented by the x-ray diffraction analysis to identify the crystallographic phase. Oriented single crystals of synthesized FeTiO 3 were grown under the pressure control of CO 2 and H 2 mixture gas using a single-crystal floating zone technique. The crystal quality of synthesized FeTiO 3 single crystals could be improved by the thermal treatment but the exact pressure control is needed to avoid the precipitation of Fe 2 O 3 even during the annealing procedure. Natural FeTiO 3 contains several kinds of impurities such as Mn , Mg , Na and Si . The synthesized samples contain Al , Si and Na which are around 100 ppm level as impurities. The PBS-C results of the natural sample imply that Mn impurities occupy the Fe sublattice in FeTiO 3 or in mixed phase between ilmenite and hematite.

This paper reports on the preparation and characterization of nickel ferrite (NiFe1.98O4) ceramics doped with Bi2O3 as sintering aid. Focus has been on the effects of concentration of Bi2O3 and sintering temperature on the densification, grain growth, dielectric, and magnetic properties of the NiFe1.98O4 ceramics, with an aim at developing magnetodielectric properties, with almost equal real permeability and permittivity, as well as sufficiently low magnetic and dielectric loss tangents, over 3 to 30 MHz (high frequency or HF band). X-ray diffraction results indicated that there is no obvious reaction between NiFe1.98O4 and Bi2O3, at Bi2O3 levels of up to 7 wt% and temperatures up to 1150 °C. The addition of Bi2O3 facilitated a liquid phase sintering mechanism for the densification of NiFe1.98O4 ceramics. The addition of Bi2O3 not only improved the densification but also promoted the grain growth of NiFe1.98O4 ceramics. To achieve sufficiently low dielectric loss tangent, the concentration of Bi2O3 should not be less than 5 wt%. The low dielectric loss tangents of the samples doped with high concentrations of Bi2O3 can be attributed to the full densification of the ceramics. Magnetic properties of the NiFe1.98O4 ceramics, as a function of sintering temperature and Bi2O3 concentration, can be qualitatively explained by the Globus model. Promising magnetodielectric properties have been obtained in the sample doped with 5% Bi2O3 and sintered at 1050 °C for 2 h. The sample has almost equal values of permeability and permittivity of ∼12, together with low dielectric and magnetic loss tangents, over 3 to 30 MHz. This material might be useful for the miniaturization of HF (3 to 30 MHz) antennas.

Abstract To maintain surface roughness of process rolls in cold rolling steel plants, WC-Co coatings have been known to be effective ones. In this study, a high pressure/high velocity oxygen fuel (HP/HVOF) process was used to obtain WC-Co coatings. To get the best quality of coatings, WC-Co coatings are sprayed with numerous powders made by various processes. These powders include agglomerated sintered powders, fused-crushed powders, extra high carbon WC-Co powders and (W2C, WC)-Co powders. After spraying, properties of coatings such as hardness, wear resistance. X-ray diffraction, and microstructures were analyzed. For coatings produced by agglomerated-sintered powders, hardness of the coating increased as power levels and the number of passes were increased. In case of the coatings produced by fused-crushed powders, a very low deposition rate was obtained due to a low flowablity of the powders. In addition, the WC-Co coatings sprayed with extra carbon content of WC-Co did not show improved hardness and wear resistance. Also, some decomposition of WC was observed in the coating. Finally, the coatings produced by (W2C, WC)-Co powders produced higher hardness and lower wear resistance coating.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility. However, Hydroxyapatite possesses poor mechanical properties and only tolerate limited loads for implants. Titanium is well-known materials applied in implant that has advantage in mechanical properties but poor in biocompatibility. The combination of the Titanium alloy and HA is expected to produce bio-implants with good in term of mechanical properties and biocompatabilty. In this work, interaction and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V was analyzed. The physical and mechanical properties of HA/Ti6Al4V composite powder obtained from compaction (powder metallurgy) of 60 wt.% Ti6Al4V and 40 wt.% HA and sintering at different temperatures in air were investigated in this study. Interactions of the mixed powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction. The hardness and density of the HA/Ti6Al4V composites were also measured. Based on the results of XRD analysis, the oxidation of Ti began at 700 °C. At 1000 °C, two phases were formed (i.e., TiO2 and CaTiO3). The results showed that the hardness HA/Ti6Al4V composites increased by 221.6% with increasing sintering temperature from 700oC to 1000oC. In contrast, the density of the composites decreased by 1.9% with increasing sintering temperature.

A recombinant metal-dependent phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) fromStreptomyces antibioticushas been crystallized by the hanging-drop method with and without heavy metals. The native crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space groupP222, with unit-cell parametersa= 41.26,b= 51.86,c = 154.78 Å. The X-ray diffraction results showed significant differences in the crystal quality of samples soaked with heavy atoms. Additionally, drop pinning, which increases the surface area of the drops, was also used to improve crystal growth and quality. The combination of heavy-metal soaks and drop pinning was found to be critical for producing high-quality crystals that diffracted to 1.23 Å resolution.

Strained germanium grown on silicon with nonstandard surface orientations like (011) or (111) is a promising material for various semiconductor applications, for example complementary metal-oxide semiconductor transistors. However, because of the large mismatch between the lattice constants of silicon and germanium, the growth of such systems is challenged by nucleation and propagation of threading and misfit dislocations that degrade the electrical properties. To analyze the dislocation microstructure of Ge films on Si(011) and Si(111), a set of reciprocal space maps and profiles measured in noncoplanar geometry was collected. To process the data, the approach proposed by Kaganer, Köhler, Schmidbauer, Opitz & Jenichen [Phys. Rev. B, (1997),55, 1793–1810] has been generalized to an arbitrary surface orientation, arbitrary dislocation line direction and noncoplanar measurement scheme.

The effect of milling time and sintering process on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based X9R ceramics was investigated. The characterization of the raw powders and the sintered ceramic was carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The particle size distribution of the mixed powders was examined by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The results shown that with the milling time extended, the Cruie Peak was depressed, or even disappeared. Moreover, with the rise of sintering temperature, the dielectric constant of the ceramics increased and the dielectric loss decreased gradually. Eventually, by milling for 11h and sintering at 1090°Cfor 2h, good dielectric properties were obtained, which were ε25°C≥ 2526, εr/εr25°C≤± 12% (–55~200°C), tanδ≤1.12% (25°C).
