Here, we report single step synthesis of hydrophobic and hydrophilic Fe3O4 , ZnO , CoO and Y2O3:Eu nanoparticles via thermal decomposition of different organometallic complexes in oleylamine (OM) and tri(ethyleneglycol) (TREG) media, respectively. The crystal structure of the as-prepared nanoparticles is identified using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Morphology of the nanoparticles is determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) while the magnetic properties are measured using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Thermolysis of appropriate precursors in OM and TREG medium are very capable of producing the highly dispresed hydrophobic and hydrophilic nanoparticles with diverse morphologies.

Co nanoparticles were synthesized via a solventless thermal decomposition of Co2+-oleate2. The crystalline structure is strongly affected by the thermal treatment of the Co nanoparticles. Further, the annealing also results in the decomposition of surfactant around Co particles. The size of nanoparticles was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystal structure of nanoparticles was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). The magnetic properties were characterized by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).

ZnS: Cu/Fe nanocrystals were synthesized by hydrothermal method with thioglycolic acid as a stabilizer. The phases, grain size and luminescent properties of the nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence photometer respectively. The results showed that ZnS: Cu/Fe nanoparticles have a particle size about 7nm and possess a cubic zinc blende crystal structure. The luminous intensity of ZnS: Cu/Fe nanocrystals was strongly when they were reacted at 140°C for 12 hours.

Single phase AlN nanowires are fabricated by a sublimation method. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), typical selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SEM and TEM images show that most of the nanowires have diameters of about 10–60 nm. The crystal structure of AlN nanowires revealed by XRD, SAED and HRTEM shows the AlN nanowires have a wurtzite structure.

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.

When the self-made with Teflon lined with stainless steel reaction kettle is used to produce PbTiO3 nanowires with the adoption of hydrothermal reaction , PbTiO3 nanowires with new structure can be made when Pb/Ti equals 2.2. Observed through the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), the bending feature of the PbTiO3 nanowires can be observed for several times when X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) are used to analyse and test the crystal structure of the nanowires. The result of the study shows that the degree of the bending of the PbTiO3 nanowires varies with the intensity of the electron beam from the Transmission Electron Microscopy, and its process can be reversible.

In numerous research fields, especially the applications of electron and X-ray diffraction, stereographic projection represents a powerful tool for researchers. SPICA is a new computer program for stereographic projection in interactive crystallographic analysis, which inherits features from the previous JECP/SP and includes more functions for extensive crystallographic analysis. SPICA provides fully interactive options for users to plot stereograms of crystal directions and crystal planes, traces, and Kikuchi maps for an arbitrary crystal structure; it can be used to explore the orientation relationships between two crystalline phases with a composite stereogram; it is also used to predict the tilt angles of transmission electron microscopy double-tilt and rotation holders in electron diffraction experiments. In addition, various modules are provided for essential crystallographic calculations.

The multi-directional grown carbon nanofibers have been synthesized by catalytic combustion technique. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron X-ray diffraction were combined to characterize the carbon products and their catalyst, which promoted the formation of carbon nanofibers. The crystal structures of the catalyst were investigated. The present results indicate that the morphologies of the carbon nanofibers have a close relation with the crystal structure of the catalysts.

A combination of X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has been used to study the crystal structure of molybdenum uranium pentoxide, UMoO5, obtained by hydrothermal and ceramic methods. Crystal data: Mr = 414.0, orthorhombic, Pbaa (number 54), a = 12.746 (1), b = 7.3494 (7), c = 4.1252 (2) Å, V = 386.4 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 7.116 Mg m−3, R = 0.037 for 723 reflections. The structure of UMoO5 is related to that of UVO5. Both are built up by slabs of pentagonal UO7 bipyramids with slabs of MO6 octahedra in-between. They differ in symmetry due to different types of displacement of the M atoms from the ab plane. The HRTEM study revealed a few defect regions in the UMoO5 crystals prepared by ceramic methods. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses indicate a slight excess of uranium in such crystals. Hypothetical models of defect regions are given.
