Semiconductor-metal co-colloids of CdSey/Au have been prepared by various synthetic pathways. Their microstructure, including that of Au–CdSe(TOPO) co-colloid in a core-shell structure, has been examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and found to be well defined within the 10 nm size range. The optical absorption spectra of the colloids and of various synthesis stages have been obtained.

Nanocrystalline GDC as small as 5 nm was successfully synthesized via the co-precipitation method. GDC/YSZ core-shell nanocrystals, which were GDC nanocrystals overcoated by a thin YSZ layer, was successfully synthesized by the addition of GDC nanocrystals in the YSZ source solution using sol-gel method. The core-shell structure was supported by its high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results and the composition was investigated by EDX method.

Stability of Ag2S@ZnS QDs in water is a crucial concern for their application in biology. In this work, both physical sustainability and emission stability of Ag2S QDs were enhanced using parameter optimization of a pulsed microwave irradiation (MI) method up to 105 days after their preparation. UV–Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopies depicted an absorption and emission about 817 nm and 878 nm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a growth of Ag2S acanthite phase. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images revealed a clear formation of Ag2S@ZnS core–shell structure.

The cadmium selenide nanocrystals are prepared by colloidal chemistry under mild conditions. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that as-prepared cadmium selenide nanocrystals are zinc blende cubic structure. We carry out an analysis of quantum size effect in the Raman spectra of cadmium selenide nanocrystals performed by utilizing the chemical bond theory of Raman peak shift developed recently. It is revealed that the shifts of Raman peaks in cadmium selenide nanocrystals result from the overlapping of the quantum effect shifts and surface effect shifts. The sizes of the as-prepared cadmium selenide nanocrystals obtained by employing the Raman peak shift theory are in good agreement with the nanocrystal sizes determined by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

The microstructures of two pressureless sintered ceramics, ZrB2 and HfB2 with 20 vol% MoSi2 added, were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Carbides and oxides of the transition metals and MoB were observed to be well dispersed within the boride matrix. Mo5Si3 and Mo5SiB2, with Zr or Hf impurities, were observed at triple grain junctions and showed a partial wetting of the matrix. It was also noticed that the borides had a core-shell structure, which was especially pronounced in the ZrB2-based composite. The experimental results suggest the formation of a Mo–Si–B liquid phase at high temperature, which strongly promoted the densification. The densification mechanisms are discussed in light of the microstructure evolution on sintering, thermodynamic considerations, and the phase diagrams of the species involved.

ABSTRACTGold-coated iron core-shell structure and Au/Fe/Au onion-like nanoparticles synthesized using reverse micelles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average nanoparticle size of the core-shell structure is about 8 nm, with about 6 nm diameter core and 2 nm shell. The gold shell structure can be resolved from both high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) image and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS). Even though the gold and iron electron diffraction rings overlap a little bit, they can still be identified due to the slight mismatch of the diffraction rings. The Au/Fe/Au onion-like nanoparticles were also observed. The nanoparticles were formed with about 6 nm diameter gold core, 1 nm iron interlayer and 2 nm gold shell. The shell structure coated on the core appeared unhomogeneous, however, in both cases the iron core and interlayer iron shell stay air-stable.
