In this paper, aluminum-doped Ni–Cu–Co ferrite nanomagnetic material powder was prepared by sol–gel technique using citric acid as a complexing agent and high-purity nitrate as raw material. The effect of doping amount of different Al[Formula: see text] ions on the structure and magnetic properties of ferrites has been studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the structural and magnetic properties of ferrite. The XRD analysis showed that all samples of Ni–Cu–Co ferrites have a single-phase cubic spinel structure. Average crystallite size was calculated by the Debye–Scherrer formula and it was found that the average crystallite size of the sample was affected by the doping concentration. As the amount of Al[Formula: see text] ion doping increases, the crystallite size decreases from 54.88 nm to 46.09 nm. The absorption peak of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) at 590 cm[Formula: see text] further indicates the formation of cubic spinel structure of Ni–Cu–Co ferrite. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show the presence of particles which are spherically cubic-shaped particles. The constituent elements of the samples were analyzed by EDX spectroscopy. In addition, the ferromagnetism of the samples was confirmed by VSM measurements. The saturation magnetization (Ms) and remanent magnetization (Mr) first increase and then decrease when the aluminum ion concentration increases. Compared with pure samples and other doped samples, they have the best magnetic properties when the doping amount of Al[Formula: see text] ions is [Formula: see text]. It also shows that the prepared samples are suitable for magnetic recording materials.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

New functional nanocomposite FePt:C thin films with FePt underlayers were synthesized by noneptaxial growth. The effect of the FePt layer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the composite layer has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thickness from 2 nm to 14 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with x-ray diffraction (XRD), has been used to check the growth of the double-layered films and to study the microstructure, including the grain size, shape, orientation and distribution. XRD scans reveal that the orientation of the films was dependent on FePt underlayer thickness. In this paper, the TEM studies of both single-layered nonepitaxially grown FePt and FePt:C composite L10 phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt are presented.

A series of Fe3+-dopped polyaniline (Fe3+/PANI) nanomaterials with different morphologies and a higher conductivity were successfully synthesized using a simple and static interfacial polymerization by using FeCl3 as both oxidant catalyst and dopant. The effect of surfactants CTAB and SDS and the concentration of FeCl3 on the morphology and conductivity of Fe3+/PANI nanomaterial were investigated. The samples were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), SDY-4 probes conductivity meter, X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy techniques. TEM’s results showed that their morphologies changed with the type of the surfactant and the concentration of FeCl3. Introducing surfactants CTAB and SDS into Fe3+/PANI remarkably improved the conductivity of the material. The conductivities of CTAB/Fe3+/PANI and SDS /Fe3+/PANI nanomaterials were respectively about 4.8×10-2 and 1.3×10-2 S/cm while the conductivity of Fe3+/PANI was found to be 1.5×10-4 S/cm. The different morphology and high conductivity may be ascribed to the mutual effects of the surfactant and oxidant.

AbstractKaolinite and synthetic γ-Al(OH)3 (gibbsite or hydrargillite) were reacted with phenylphosphonic, phenylphosphinic and 2-nitrophenol-4-arsonic acids. The products were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy/selected area electron diffraction/ energy dispersive X-ray/Fourier transform infrared and simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis. The acids were not intercalated but, instead, easily destroyed the structure of the minerals. Lamellar Al phenylphosphonate and aluminium phenylphosphinate and phenylarsonate with polymeric linear-chain structures were formed from kaolinite. The reaction between gibbsite and the same acids yielded almost identical products. No evidence of formation of grafted kaolinite derivatives after the reaction with phenylphosphonic acid was found.

Spinel CoFe2O4 nano-particles were synthesized by hydrothermal traditionally and Ethylene Glycol (EG) assisted hydrothermal process originally. The effects of reaction temperatures from 140°C to 200°C, different OH- provider and EG/water ratio on the nano-particles’ structure, morphology and magnetic properties of composition were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The possible mechanism for the effects on the properties was also discussed in details. The results showed that NaAC as OH- provider and higher EG/water ratio in solvent were benefit for getting smaller CoFe2O4 nano-particles. And existence of EG is also important to remove the α-Fe2O3 phase.

Nonepitaxially grown double-layered films were synthesized with a FePt: C composite layer on top of continuous FePt underlayer. The thickness of FePt was changed from 2 nm to 14 nm. Nanostructures, crystalline orientations and the effect of FePt underlayer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of the thin films were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD confirmed the formation of the ordered L10phase for 5 nm FePt: C film with FePt thickness decreased to 5 nm. TEM studies of FePt:C composite L10phase and double-layered deposition FePt:C/FePt were presented.

Nanopartikel Nikel Ferit (NiFe2O4) telah disintesis dengan metode kopresipitasi dengan memvariasi konsentrasi NaOH dan suhu sintesis. Struktur kristal, ukuran partikel, dan morfologi dari sampel dianalisa menggunakan X-ray diffraction (XRD) dan transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ukuran butir pada konsentrasi NaOH 3, 5, dan 10 M masing-masing adalah 5,7; 4,3; dan 4,2 nm, sedangkan pada suhu 60, 80, dan 150°C berturut-turut adalah 4,2; 4,9; dan 5,5 nm. Analisa fourier transform infrared (FTIR) menunjukkan dua puncak serapan pada rentang ~400-600 cm-1 yang terkait dengan site oktahedral dan tetrahedral pada struktur NiFe2O4. Sifat magnetik NiFe2O4 hasil analisa vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) menunjukkan bahwa sampel berperilaku ferromagnetik dengan nilai koersivitasnya pada rentang 42-47 Oe. Sampel dengan variasi konsentrasi NaOH, koersivitasnya cenderung menurun dengan menurunnya ukuran partikel. Sementara sampel dengan variasi suhu, semakin kecil ukuran partikel, koersivitasnya cenderung meningkat. Pada 15 kOe, nilai magnetisasi terbesar (6,17 emu/g) diperoleh pada sampel dengan rasio fasa α-Fe2O3 paling rendah.

Abstract Calcification within breast cancer is a diagnostically significant radiological feature that generally consists of hydroxylapatite. Samples from 30 cases of breast carcinoma with calcification were investigated using optical microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission-electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence. Under optical microscopy, the calcifications were found to consist of either irregular aggregates with widths > 200 μm or spherical aggregates similar to psammoma bodies with an average diameter of 30 μm. Transmission-electron microscopy showed that short columnar or dumbbell-shaped crystals with widths of 10–15 nm and lengths of 20–50 nm were the most common morphology; spherical aggregates (~1 μm in diameter) with amorphous coatings of fibrous nanocrystals were also observed. Results indicated that hydroxylapatite was the dominant mineral phase in the calcifications, and both CO32– and cation substitutions (Na, Mg, Zn, Fe, Sr, Cu and Mn) were present in the hydroxylapatite structure. Fourier-transform infrared spectra show peaks at 872 and 880 cm–1 indicating that CO32– substituted both the OH– (A type) and PO43– (B type) sites of hydroxylapatite, making it an A and B mixed type. The ratio of B- to A-type substitution was estimated in the range of 1.1–18.7 from the ratio of peak intensities (I872/I880), accompanied with CO32– contents from 1.1% to 14.5%. Trace arsenic, detected in situ by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence was found to be distributed uniformly in the calcifications in the form of AsO43– substituting for PO43–. It is therefore proposed that identifying these trace elements in breast cancer calcifications may be promising for future clinical diagnostics.

This article (a sequel to part-I that appeared earlier in the same journal) presents synthesis and characterisation details of conducting PPY-nanocomposite obtained from gallium nitride–doped ferrite and polypyrrole. The GaN-doped ferrite is synthesised by sol–gel method. GaNFe2O3f-PPY composites are prepared by impregnation technique. Using the SciFinder software we could not trace any report in the literature for this synthesised Ga(2x + 2)NFe2(49 − x)O3-PPY nanocomposites. The doped nanoferrite is combined with polypyrrole, an intrinsic conducting polymer, in three proportions by percentage (70%:30%), (90%:10%) and (97%:3%), to obtain two series each of three compositions for the conducting PPY-nanocomposite. The synthesised polymer composites are characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. From our studies, it has been observed that the crystallite size of nanocomposites is decreased when compared to crystallite size of GaNFe2O3. The average particle size from histogram is in good agreement with Debye–Scherrer formula calculations. The scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy micrograms reveal that the particles are varying with the values of X and the percentage of PPY. The shapes observed are Globules,Tetrahedron,Nanorods of short and long lengths. The GaNFe2O3-PPY composites’ spectra revealed the shift in the band in comparison with the PPY spectra. Also, the wavelength is decreased, and vibrational frequency is increased.
