ABSTRACTContinuous carbon nanofibers were manufactured using electrospinning technique. The as-spun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were stabilized and carbonized to convert them into carbon nanofibers. The diameters of typical carbon nanofibers were in the range from 100 -500 nanometers. Compared to the vapor grown carbon nanofibers, the electronspun carbon nanofibers were continuous, uniform in diameter, and solid. The electrospun nanofiber samples did not require purification. The carbon nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Electron and X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained and analyzed. Nanocomposites of epoxy resin reinforced with as-spun PAN and carbon nanofibers were fabricated and analyzed. The results showed good potential of continuous carbon nanofibers for nanocomposite and other applications.

A MgB2target has been ablated by Nd:glass laser with a pulse duration of 250 fs. The plasma produced by the laser-target interaction, showing two temporal separated emissions, has been characterized by time and space resolved optical emission spectroscopy and ICCD fast imaging. The films, deposited on silicon substrates and formed by the coalescence of particles with nanometric size, have been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The first steps of the films growth have been studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy. The films deposition has been studied by varying the substrate temperature from 25 to 500°C and the best results have been obtained at room temperature.

This is a report on photo-irradiated extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the aqueous extract of edible oyster mushroom (Pleurotus florida) as a reducing agent. The appearance, size, and shape of the silver nanoparticles are understood by UV-visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The X-ray diffraction studies, energy dispersive X-ray analysis indicate that particles are crystalline in nature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed that the nanoparticles are covered with biomoieties on their surface. As can be seen from our studies, the biofunctionalized silver nanoparticles thus produced have shown admirable antimicrobial effects, and the synthetic procedure involved is eco-friendly and simple, and hence high range production of the same can be considered for using them in many pharmaceutical applications.

We report the synthesis of single-crystalline α-Fe2O3 nanoflakes by the oxidation reaction of water vapor through a gas-solid method. The samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-Raman spectrometer, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). As-synthesized nanoflakes have a pseudotriangle morphology: 20-50 nm in thickness, 0.5-1.5 μm in length and base-width. It is observed that vertically aligned arrays of leaf-like α-Fe2O3 grow at the verges of the iron foils. The possible mechanism is discussed to elucidate the formation of α-Fe2O3 nanostructures. The experimental results indicate that water vapor plays an important role in controlling the morphology of the final products.

Copper oxide and cobalt oxide (CuO, Co3O4) nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully prepared in a short time using microwave irradiation without any postannealing treatment. Both kinds of nanocrystals (NCs) have been prepared using copper nitrate and cobalt nitrate as the starting materials and distilled water as the solvent. The resulted powders of nanocrystals (NCs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. The obtained results confirm the presence of the both of oxides nanopowders produced during chemical precipitation using microwave irradiation. A strong emission under UV excitation is obtained from the prepared CuO and Co3O4nanoparticles. The results show that the nanoparticles have high dispersion and narrow size distribution. The line scans of atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of the nanocrystals (NCs) sprayed on GaAs substrates confirm the results of both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, vibrational studies have been carried out using Raman spectroscopic technique. Specific Raman peaks have been observed in the CuO and Co3O4nanostructures, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the peaks indicates a small particle size of the nanocrystals.

The thin films (Y/Ba/Cu = 1.0/2.7/4.7) which have a strong intensity corresponding to the c-axis peaks of the 124 phase (YBa2Cu4O8) in x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were prepared. The film structure and surface morphology of these films were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the film on MgO(100) clearly has grain boundaries with many a-axis oriented grains of the 123 phase (YBa2Cu3O7−x). However, the film on SrTiO3(100) had a smooth surface, and a-axis oriented grains of the 123 phase couldn't be observed. This difference could not be explained by only the difference in the lattice mismatch.

Self-patterning presents an appealing alternative to lithography for the production of arrays of nanoscale ferroelectric capacitors for use in high density non-volatile memory devices. Recently a self-patterning method, based on the use of the instability of ultrathin films during hightemperature treatments, was used to fabricate nanosized ferroelectrics. This paper reports the use of the method for the preparation of PZT nanoislands on different single crystalline substrates - SrTiO3, MgO and LaAlO3. Moreover, a multi-step deposition procedure in order to control lateral the dimension of the crystals was introduced. The nanostructures obtained were studied by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
