Spectral Enhancement

ABSTRACTExperimental photoluminescence spectra of GaAs microcrystals show pronounced variations compared to the luminescence of bulk GaAs. The observed spectra are explained by spectral enhancement and inhibition of spontaneous emission in a three-dimensional optical resonator formed by a dielectrically confined semiconductor microcrystal. The crystals were produced by pulverization of bulk GaAs, size-separated by sedimentation techniques, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction.

The ordering of cations within the perovskite structure can have a profound effect on the physical properties. A number of AA′BB′O6 perovskite phases which have both a rock salt ordering of the B/B′ cations and a layered ordering of the A/A′ cations have recently been prepared and studied. In some of these compositions complex nanoscale superstructure formation has been observed. These superstructures are the result of compositional modulations involving the occupancies of the A and A′ cations and are accompanied by a twinning of the octahedral tilt system. A wide variety of patterns are observed, such as 1-dimensional stripes or 2-dimensional chessboards which can have periodicities which are either commensurate or incommensurate with the underlying subcell. These superstructures cannot be easily detected by powder X-ray diffraction but have been observed using a combination of high resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and neutron powder diffraction. The factors which determine the dimensionality and periodicity of the superstructures are discussed and compared with the closely related Li based perovskite systems.

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).

Resolution Study

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

Removal Of Arsenic

We report the synthesis of three-dimensional Fe3O4/graphene aerogels (GAs) and their application for the removal of arsenic (As) ions from water. The morphology and properties of Fe3O4/GAs have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and superconducting quantum inference device. The 3D nanostructure shows that iron oxide nanoparticles are decorated on graphene with an interconnected network structure. It is found that Fe3O4/GAs own a capacity of As(V) ions adsorption up to 40.048 mg/g due to their remarkable 3D structure and existence of magnetic Fe3O4nanoparticles for separation. The adsorption isotherm matches well with the Langmuir model and kinetic analysis suggests that the adsorption process is pseudo-second-ordered. In addition to the excellent adsorption capability, Fe3O4/GAs can be easily and effectively separated from water, indicating potential applications in water treatment.
