AbstractNanosized Co-doped ZnO samples were synthesized using an ultrasonic spray assisted chemical vapour deposition method. Microstructural and magnetic properties of these samples were studied. The room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in the Co-doped ZnO. Also, x-ray analysis revealed a wurtzite ZnO structure with a small change of the lattice constants due to the doping of Co in ZnO. Raman spectroscopy of the Co-doped ZnO films indicated direct substitution of Co. Scanning electron microscopy showed nanostructured Co-doped ZnO with a ring or cup shape. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed nano grains within the rings of an average diameter of around 10 nm. Both energy dispersive spectroscopy and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy indicated a uniform distribution of Co.

A shape memory alloy with a nominal composition of 84.68 wt.% Cu-11.25 wt.%Al-4.07 wt.%Ni, has been studied. Polycrystalline specimens have been quenched into water at room temperature, after heat treatment of 15 minutes at a high temperature of 1123 K. Two successive cycles from room temperature to 923 K and inversely have been performed on the non equilibrium samples. The microstructural study presented in this work has been performed using TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy) analysis, STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy) analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis at a variable temperature. Nanometric phase precipitation of AlNi type was observed to appear in this alloy.
