The formation of U-type hexaferrites with the composition Ba4B2Fe36O60 (B = Co, Ni, Zn) was studied. Samples were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction, electron microscopy (with energy-dispersive spectroscopy), and thermogravimetric and thermomagnetic analyses. U-hexaferrites are formed from the intermediate phases M-hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) and Y-hexaferrite (Ba2B2Fe12O22), which at the same time represent units in the U-hexaferrites’ crystal structure. The preparation of monophase U-hexaferrites was made possible by combining high-energy milling or chemical coprecipitation with a calcination at 1250–1300 °C. Structural defects, such as stacking faults, were observed in monophase samples with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The observed defects can be regarded as seeds for the formation of other hexaferrite phases after prolonged calcination times or higher calcination temperatures.

SiC nanowires were obtained by a reaction between vapor silicon and multiwall carbon nanotubes, CNT, in vacuum at 1200 °C. Raman and IR spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, HRTEM, were used to characterize properties of SiC nanowires. Morphology and chemical composition of the nanowires was similar for all samples, but concentration of structural defects varied and depended on the origin of CNT. Stacking faults were characterized by HRTEM and Raman spectroscopy, and both techniques provided complementary results. Raman microscopy allowed studying structural defects inside individual nanowires. A thin layer of amorphous silicon carbide was detected on the surface of nanowires.

The crystal structure of pentatitanium tetraoxide tetrakis(phosphate), Ti5O4(PO4)4, has been determined and refined from X-ray diffraction single-crystal data [P212121 (No. 19), Z = 4, a = 12.8417 (12), b = 14.4195 (13), c = 7.4622 (9) Å (from Guinier photographs); conventional residual R 1 = 0.042 for 2556 Fo > 4σ(Fo ), R 1 = 0.057 for all 3276 independent reflections; 282 parameters; 29 atoms in the asymmetric unit of the ideal structure]. The structure is closely related to those of β-Fe2O(PO4)-type phosphates and synthetic lipscombite, Fe3(PO4)4(OH). While these consist of infinite chains of face-sharing MO6 octahedra, in pentatitanium tetraoxide tetrakis(phosphate) only five-eighths of the octahedral voids are occupied according to □3Ti5O4(PO4)4. Four of the five independent Ti4+O6 show high radial distortion [1.72 ≤ d(Ti−O) ≤ 2.39 Å] and a typical 1 + 4 + 1 distance distribution. The fifth Ti4+O6 is an almost regular octahedron [1.91 ≤ d(Ti−O) ≤ 1.98 Å]. Partial disorder of Ti4+ over the available octahedral voids is revealed by the X-ray structure refinement. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigations confirm this result.

Crystal structure of Zn0.96Al0.02Ga0.02O was analyzed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) technique and the microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results showed single phase and hexagonal structure a = b = 3.24982 Å, and c = 5.20661 Å. The SEM and TEM results showed the grain size of material arrangement changed after sintering and TEM diffraction pattern confirmed hexagonal crystal structure of Zn0.96Al0.02Ga0.02O after sintering.

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.

The Mg-12Gd-2Y-0.5Sm-0.5Sb-0.5Zr alloy was prepared under flux protection. The morphology and crystal structure of β′ precipitate phases in aged alloy has been studied using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The orientation relationship between β′ precipitate and matrix could existed as [ 010]BαB// [ 00]Bβ′B, (01 0) BαB// (020)Bβ′B and (0001)BαB was coherent with (001)Bβ′B; [0001]BαB// [001]Bβ′B, (1 00)BαB// (240)Bβ′B and ( 010)BαB was coherent with (0A_,8EEA0)Bβ′B. The HREM images indicated that the β' precipitates have a long-period ordered structure at the same time.

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.

ABSTRACTVarious characterization techniques are applied to pulsed and cw laser-annealed polysilicon layers deposited on oxide layers. The results are used to compare these techniques as to the type and completeness of information provided, as well as sample preparation requirements and general ease or difficulty of measurement.

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.

Abstract In this paper, Sn-doped TiO2 nanomaterials with varying concentrations were manufactured through a simple procedure. The fabricated TiO2 and Sn loaded on TiO2 nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-rays, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and resistance analyses. The benefits of dielectric constant and ac conductivity rise at high Sn loaded concentration on TiO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced electrical conductivity is seen for STO3 (3.5% Sn doped TiO2) and STO4 (5% Sn doped TiO2) specimens are apparently associated with the introduced high defect TiO2 lattice. Furthermore, the fabricated specimens’ obtained findings may be applied as possible candidates for high-energy storage devices. Moreover, proper for the manufacture of materials working at a higher frequency.
