The structural changes of carbon nanotubes induced by high pressure and high temperature were investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that, with increasing pressure and temperature, the lattice constant d002 of tubes shortens, and then tubes collapse into tapelike ones; at the same time the C–C bonds at high curvature break, which lead the tapelike tubes to break into graphite sheets as diamond crystallization centers. Compared with graphite, the diamond particles from carbon nanotubes have many defects as the trace of tubes.

AbstractAn investigation of the phase changes in a complex aluminum-titanium-hardened nickel-base high-temperature alloy was carried out after solutioning at high temperatures and aging at lower temperatures. The physical distribution and size of the precipitated phases were studied by electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction and fluorescence analyses were carried out on chemically extracted residues. The results of the xtructure changes as well as correlation of some physical properties with the structural changes are presented.

C60/C70: Ni films with 1.5 wt. % Ni concentration obtained by vacuum deposition under different thermal conditions have been investigated. The structural changes of the layers were investigated by transmission electron microscopy, electron and x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. The polycrystalline structure was detected for the layers grown at approximately 450 K on the substrate. At elevated temperature and maintained temperature gradient on the substrate during the process, the changes of the layer's structure and the formation of Ni microcrystals were observed. The Ni microcrystals (5–10 nm in the diameter) and the elongated shapes dimensioned 10 × 150 nm were perceived.

AbstractThe synthesis of well-aggregated carbon nanotubes in the form of bundles was achieved by the catalytic reduction of 1,2-dichlorobenzene by a solvothermal approach. The use of 1,2-dichlorobenzene as a carbon source yielded a comparably good percentage of carbon nanotubes in the range of 60–70 %, at a low reaction temperature of 200°C. The products obtained were analysed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The X-ray diffraction studies implied the presence of pure, crystalline, and well-ordered carbon nanotubes. The scanning electron and transmission electron microscopic images revealed the surface morphology, dimensions and the bundled form of the tubes. These micrographs showed the presence of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with an outer diameter of 30–55 nm, inner diameter of 15–30 nm, and lengths of several hundreds of nanometers. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-based N2 gas adsorption studies were performed to determine the surface area and pore volume of the carbon nanotubes. These carbon nanotubes exhibit a better surface area of 385.30 m2 g−1. In addition, the effects of heating temperature, heating time, amount of catalyst and amount of carbon source on the product yield were investigated.

The structure and hardness of C60 bulk specimens compressed under 5.5 GPa at room temperature to 600 °C are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and micro-Vickers hardness tests. A strong accumulation of the [1 1 0]tr orientation of high-pressure-treated C60 specimens was developed along the compression axis, and stacking faults and nano-sized deformation twins were introduced into the C60 specimens compressed at 450–600 °C. Curved lattice planes indicating a polymerization of C60 were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The polymerization of the high-pressure-compressed C60 is also supported by the computer simulation of HRTEM images.

A relatively low-cost, high-efficiency method is reported to synthesize AlN nanowires, using carbon nanotubes as templates. The AlN nanowires were fabricated at 1100 °C, for 60 min. The diameters of the product could be roughly controlled by the sizes of carbon nanotubes selected as starting materials. The AlN nanowires obtained were among the thinnest ever known. X-ray diffraction, selected-area diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, etc. were employed to characterize the products, which were found to be single crystals with some defects. The axes of the nanowires are normal to {1010} crystal planes. A new synthesis mechanism is proposed.

This study is introducing a facile and novel method for synthesis of amorphous silica nanoparticles. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized by pyrolysis and combustion of high temperature vulcanization (HTV) silicone at 700 oC for 1 h. The products were investigated employing transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET) test and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The results indicated that the method is capable of synthesis of amorphous silica nanoparticles with sizes of mostly between 10 and 50 nm.

Structural behavior of bulk WS 2 under high pressure was investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and diamond anvil cell up to 52 GPa along with high temperature X-ray diffraction and high pressure Raman spectroscopy analysis. The high pressure results obtained from X-ray diffraction and Raman analysis did not show any pressure induced structural phase transformations up to 52 GPa. The high temperature results show that the WS 2 crystal structure is stable upon heating up to 600°C. Furthermore, the powder X-ray diffraction obtained on shock subjected WS 2 to high pressures up to 10 GPa also did not reveal any structural changes. Our results suggest that even though WS 2 is less compressible than the isostructural MoS 2, its crystal structure is stable under static and dynamic compressions up to the experimental limit.
