Nanoparticles of ZnS capped with tri-n-octylphosphineoxide (TOPO) and close to monodispersed have been prepared by a single-source route using ethyl(di-ethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II) as a precursor. The nanoparticles obtained showed quantum size effects in their optical spectra, and the photoluminescence spectrum showed a broad emission that could be attributed to the surface traps. A blue shift of 0.31 eV in relation to the bulk material was observed. The selected area electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy showed the material to be of the zinc blend structure. The crystallinity of the material was also evident from high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which gave well-defined images of nano-sized particles with clear lattice fringes and a spacing of approximately 3 Å, corresponding to the (111) planes of the cubic crystalline ZnS phase and in the size range of 3.9–4.9 nm. The presence of strong phosphorus peak in the energy dispersion analytical x-ray pattern, together with a shift in infrared band for P = O of TOPO showed that the particles were TOPO capped.

Abstract Nanoparticles of thorium oxalate were synthesized by the reaction of thorium nitrate and ammonium oxalate by the microemulsion method. The Th02 nanoparticles were obtained by heating thorium oxalate nanoparticles at 500 °C in air. The oxalate and oxide nanoparticles of thorium were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). X-ray diffraction studies showed the mono-phasic nature of the powder thoria. The particle size was obtained from X-ray line broadening (~l0 nm) and transmission electron microscopy (~l0 nm). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to calculate the average grain size of the particles. SAED confirmed the nanocrystalline nature of thoria particles. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was also carried out to understand the morphology of the system. The monodisperse nanoparticles of thoria are promising for future reactor technologies.

The precipitates of Al-5Zn-0.02In-1Mg-0.05Ti-0.5Ce (wt %) anode alloy were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction analyses in the present work. The results show that the alloy mainly contains hexagonal structure MgZn2 and tetragonal structure Al2CeZn2 precipitates. From high resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction, aluminium, Al2CeZn2 and MgZn2 phases have [0 1 -1]Al|| [1 -10]Al2CeZn2|| [-1 1 0 1]MgZn2orientation relation, and Al2CeZn2 and MgZn2 phases have the [0 2 -1]Al2CeZn2|| [0 1 -10]MgZn2orientation relation.

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.

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.

In this paper, single crystalline tetragonal MnO 2 nanorods have been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using MnSO 4⋅ H 2 O and Na 2 S 2 O 8 as precursors. The crystalline phase, morphology, particle sizes and component of the as-prepared nanomaterial were characterized by employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectrum of MnO 2 nanorods at room temperature exhibited a strong ultraviolet (UV) emission band at 380 nm, a prominent blue emission peak at 453 nm as well as a weak defect related green emission at 553 nm. Magnetization (M) as a function of applied magnetic field (H) curve showed that MnO 2 nanowires exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature which shows the promise of synthesized MnO 2 nanorods for applications in ferrofluids and the contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The magnetization versus temperature curve of the as-obtained MnO 2 nanorods shows that the Néel transition temperature is 94 K.

Single-crystal PbTiO3 nanoflakes have been synthesized successfully by a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). It was found that KOH concentration played a key role in the growth of single-crystal tetragonal perovskite PbTiO3 nanoflakes, and the morphology of PbTiO3 crystallites can be controlled by adjusting the KOH concentration.

The worm-like morphology of silver sulfide (Ag2S) was successfully prepared via hydrothermal reaction at 150°C by using silver nitrate (AgNO3) and thioacetamide(CH3CSNH2) as both the sliver sources and sulfur sources, β-cyclodextrin as the template agent, and water as the solvent. The worm-like of Ag2S are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS), energy dispersivex-ray (EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SEAD). Ultraviolet-visible spectra (UV-vis) and photoluminescencespectroscopy (PL) were used in an optical study of the products. The results showed that the existence of β-cyclodextrin is crucial to the formation of worm-like Ag2S, and the optoelectronics test results showed that the sample have a broad absorption in ultraviolet and visible light region.

In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 O 2 nanoflowers self-assembled by interconnecting dense stacked single-crystalline nanoplates have been prepared using the template-free hydrothermal growth method. The morphology, phase structure and composition of the as-prepared nanomaterial were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). FESEM and TEM analyses show that the size of 3D Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 O 2 nanoflowers is in the range of 1–1.5 μm and the thickness of interconnected nanoplates is about 40 nm on the average. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the as-prepared Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 O 2 nanostructures at room temperature exhibits prominent emission bands located in red–violet spectral region. Moreover, magnetic investigations revealed the weak ferromagnetic behavior of the as-prepared Cu 0.45 Mn 0.55 O 2 nanoflowers and reported for the first time using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).

By means of sonochemical method, Fe 3 O 4 and ZnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystallines can be synthesized from FeCl 2/ urea and ZnCl 2/ FeCl 2/ urea in water. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Special attention was paid to the microstructure of the nanocrystallines using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM). Probable mechanisms for the sonochemical formation of Fe 3 O 4 and ZnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystallines are discussed.
