d Zr targets. The synthesis of the coatings was carried out by varying the discharge power in the Ti5 well as a variation in the deposit temperature at room temperature 130° and 260°C. The coatings were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), evidencing the formation of the phase that belongs to the solid solution (Zr, Ti)N, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and hardness and pin-on-disc tests. The thickness was measured through interferometry with values between 662 and 481nm for the deposited coatings. According to the failure mechanism in the scratch test, the best results were obtained with a power of 170W and 260°C with a cohesive failure Lc1 = 2.1N and an adhesive failure Lc2 = 4.7N.

Intense photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature from the polycrystalline SiC samples prepared from carbon-saturated Si melt at a temperature ranging from 1500 to 1650°C. Composition and structure of the samples have been confirmed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. PL measurements with 325 nm UV light excitation revealed that the room temperature PL spectrum of the samples consists of 3 luminescent bands, the peak energies of which are 2.38 eV, 2.77 eV and 3.06 eV, respectively. The 2.38 eV band is much stronger than the others. It is suggested that some extrinsic PL mechanisms associated with defect or interface states would be responsible to the intensive PL observed at room temperature.

The effects of Si3N4 addition on the room temperature physical properties and thermal shock resistance properties of corundum based refractory castables were investigated using brown corundum, white corundum and alumina micropowder as the starting materials and pure calcium aluminate as a binder. The phase composition, microstructure, mechanical properties of corundum based castables were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that as the increase in Si3N4 addition, the bulk density decreased and apparent porosity increased, the cold strength deduced. However, the residual strength rate increased. That is, the thermal shock resistance was improved. This is because even though the introduction of Si3N4 inhibited the sintering of material and deduced the compactness, microcracks were produced in the materials due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient. So the thermal shock resistance of corundum based castable was improved.

The polycrystalline skutterudite [Formula: see text] were successfully synthesized from 1.5 GPa to 3.5 GPa by the high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) method. Negative Seebeck coefficient confirmed the n-type conductivity of all samples. The phase compositions of samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the microstructures were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the grains appeared smaller and the grain boundaries became more abundant when pressures were higher. We measured the electrical properties from room temperature to 723 K. Both the electrical resistivity and absolute value of Seebeck coefficient increase with the increasing synthetic pressure. At 723 K, the maximum power factor of [Formula: see text] was obtained for the sample synthesized under 3 GPa. The maximum ZT value of 0.61 was reached by [Formula: see text] synthesized under 3 GPa and measured at 723 K.

Bismuth telluride has high thermoelectric performance at room temperature; in present work, various nanostructure thin films of bismuth telluride were fabricated on silicon substrates at room temperature using thermal evaporation method. Tellurium (Te) and bismuth (Bi) were deposited on silicon substrate in different ratio of thickness. These films were annealed at 50°C and 100°C. After heat treatment, the thin films attained the semiconductor nature. Samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to show granular growth.

A novel composite of Au-functionalized porous silicon (PS)/V2O5 nanorods (PS/V2O5:Au) was prepared to detect NO2 gas. PS/V2O5 nanorods were synthesized by a heating process of pure vanadium film on PS, and then the obtained PS/V2O5 nanorods were functionalized with dispersed Au nanoparticles. Various analytical techniques, such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), have been employed to investigate the properties of PS/V2O5:Au. Herein, the PS/V2O5:Au sample exhibited improved NO2-sensing performances in response, stability and selectivity at room temperature (25[Formula: see text]C), compared with the pure PS/V2O5 nanorods. These phenomena were closely related to not only the dispersed Au nanoparticles acting as a catalyst but also the p-n heterojunctions between PS and V2O5 nanorods. Whereas, more Au nanoparticles suppressed the improvement of response to NO2 gas.

Lead tungstate ( PbWO 4) microcrystals with hierarchical structures have been successfully synthesized via a facile microwave irradiation heating method. The cetyltrimethylammonium bromine (CTAB) and microwave-heated power were found to play an important role in the morphological control of resulting PbWO 4 mirocrystals. The products were characterized by the techniques of powder X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. A growth mechanism of PbWO 4 microstructures was proposed. The luminescence properties of the final products were investigated and the as-prepared PbWO 4 microcrystals displayed a very unique room-temperature photoluminescence compared to the reported results.

TiNi shape-memory properties are successfully used today for the fabrication of various technical devices. The limited machinability and high cost of TiNi encourage the use of near-net shape production techniques such as metal injection moulding. In this work TiNi alloys tensile test specimens are produced by metal injection moulding from pre-alloyed powders. A binder based on a mixture of polyethylene, paraffin wax and stearic acid is used. Parts with a density of about 96.6% of theoretical density are obtained. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX measurements reveals a microstructure consisting of a TiNi matrix with small Ti4Ni2Ox and TiC inclusions. DSC and X-ray diffraction observations indicate the presence of additional Ni4Ti3 precipitates. The parts exhibit full superelasticity at room temperature even for strains of up to 4%, without the need for additional thermal post-treatments. Ultimate tensile strengths up to 980 MPa are obtained.

We have synthesyzed TiO2 nanotubes by an anodization method. The cathode was titanium (Ti) sheets and anode was platinum (Pt). The electrolytes were mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and deionized water (DI water). The anodizing voltage was set to 50 V and the process was carried out for 2 h. The titanium foils were anodized at room temperature. Then Ag nanoparticles were loaded in TiO2 nanotube arrays by immersed in 50 ml solutions containing of AgNO3 (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mM) for 24 h. The morphology, structure, and optical properties of the prepared nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and and UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis) respectively. The structures of TiO2 nanotubes obtained from the nanotube arrays were crystallized by annealing at 450 °C for 2 h before immersed in solution and immersed in solution before crystallized by annealing are similar. When the concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO3) increases, the TiO2 nanotube arrays cracked and are not well arranged.

Hollow calcium carbonate is a potential component to be used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and catalysis. This paper investigated the effect of additive on the hollow structure. In this study was used vanadate ion as additive agent. Physical characteristics of precipitate were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

The purpose of experiment was to produce bulk nanocrystalline Zn by mechanical attrition. The bulk nanocrystalline Zn produced by mechanical attrition was studied. The microstructural evolution during cryomilling and subsequent room temperature milling was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In this paper, Nanocrystalline Zn was produced by insitu consolidation of Zn elemental powder using mechanical attrition at liquid nitrogen and room temperature. For the samples studied, the longest elongation of 65% and highest stress of 200 MPa is obtained in nanocrystalline Zn during tensile testing at the condition of strain rate (10-3 sec-1) and 20°C which is equal to 0.43 Tm (Tm is the melting temperature of pure Zn ).
