Abstract This article underlines the important role of copper Cu(3d9) spins at the CuO2 planer sites to comprehend the physics of High temperature Superconductivity . In such studies we have reported the characterization results of samples (Cu0.5Tl0.5)Ba2Ca2Cu3O10-δ , (Cu0.5Tl0.5)(BaCa)(CaMg)Cu1Zn2O10-δ , (Cu0.5Tl0.5)(BaCa)(CaMg) Zn3O10-δ and (AyTl1-y)(BaCa)(CaMg) Zn3O10-δ (A=Ag, K, Ni, Mn; y=0,0.5). Samples were prepared at normal pressure by using two-steps solid state reaction method. The characterization of samples is done via x-ray diffraction (XRD), resistivity (RT) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) absorption measurements. Intrinsic superconducting parameters and activation energy of all sample is estimated applying two theoretical models, Fluctuation Induced conductivity (FIC) analysis and Mott 3D-VRH. The XRD and FTIR absorption measurements have confirmed the intrinsic doping of K, Ag, Ni, Mn and Zn. Interestingly, samples (Cu0.5Tl0.5)(BaCa)(CaMg) Zn3O10-δ without CuO2 planes have exhibited superconducting behavior above 77K. To verify the role of Cu(3d9) atoms in superconductivity we have synthesized (AyTl1-y)(BaCa)(CaMg) Zn3O10-δ (A=Ag, K, Mn, Ni; y=0,0.5) samples. In aforementioned samples, doping of Ni, Mn, K, Ag ions in Cu1-xTlxBa2O4-δ charge reservoir layer instead of Cu-atoms destroys the superconductivity completely and leads to semiconducting behavior. Key objective to preparing these samples is to investigate the role of two major parameters local moments (spin) of copper atoms and net carrier’s concentration in superconductivity.

In the normal pressure and presence of catalyst, a novel composite modified starch or functional surfactant was synthesized by using the cassava starch as the main feedstock through the alkalization, etherification and oxidation etc.. The degree of substitution was up to 1.21. Based on the orthogonal experiment and computer-aid methods, the optimum conditions were resulted as follows: the mass fractions(vs. dry starch) of chloroacetic acid, catalyst and oxidant were 32%, 0.01% and 1.14% respectively, and the reaction temperature of etherification was at 50°C for 4.1h. The structural characterization of the composite modified starch was determined by IR and X-ray diffraction.

AbstractIn this work, aluminate type phosphorescence materials were synthesized via the solid state reaction method and the photoluminescence (PL) properties, including excitation and emission bands, were investigated considering the effect of trace amounts of activator (Eu3+) and co-activator (Dy3+). The estimated thermal behavior of the samples at certain temperatures (> 1000 °C) during heat treatment was characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The possible phase formation was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological characterization of the samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PL analysis of three samples showed maximum emission bands at around 610 nm, and additionally near 589 nm, 648 nm and 695 nm. The bands were attributed to typical transitions of the Eu3+ ions.

This paper reports the detailed synthesis mechanism and the structural, morphological and optical characterization of ultraviolet (∼311 nm) excitable samarium doped gadolinium yttrium orthovanadate, (Gd,Y)VO4:Sm3+, nanocrystals. X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement studies confirmed that the synthesized samples crystallize in a tetragonal structure withI41/amdspace group. The enhanced photoluminescence intensity of (Gd,Y)VO4:Sm3+compared with the existing YVO4:Sm3+phosphor clearly indicates the significant role of Gd3+ions. This has been attributed to the sensitization of the6PJenergy level of Gd3+ions by energy transfer from orthovanadate (VO43−) ions and subsequent energy trapping by Sm3+ions. The energy transfer from VO43−to Sm3+viaGd3+ions as intermediates and concentration quenching of Gd3+luminescence are discussed in detail. The optical band gap of the as-prepared nanocrystals has been estimated using UV–vis–NIR absorption spectroscopy, which reveals a slightly higher band gap (3.75 eV) for YVO4as compared to GdYVO4(3.50 eV). Furthermore, confocal microcopy, decay parameters and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromatic coordinates have supplemented these studies, which established the suitability of these nanophosphors for achieving spectral conversion in silicon solar cells.

This work reports characterization of the possible effects that might distress the hydration properties of Mg-exchanged low-charge montmorillonite (SWy-2) when it undergoes external environmental solicitation. This perturbation was created by an alteration of relative humidity rates (i.e., RH%) over two hydration-dehydration cycles with different sequence orientations. Structural characterization is mainly based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) profile-modeling approach achieved by comparing the “in situ” obtained experimental 00l reflections with other ones calculated from theoretical models. This method allows assessing the evolution of the interlayer water retention mechanism and the progress of diverse hydration state’s contributions versus external strain. Obtained results prove that the hydration behavior of the studied materials is strongly dependent on the RH sequence orientation which varied over cycles. The interlayer organization of Mg-exchanged montmorillonite (i.e., SWy-2-Mg) is characterized by a heterogeneous hydration behavior, which is systematically observed at different stages of both cycles. By comparing the interlayer water process evolution of Mg-exchanged montmorillonite with the observed SWy-2-Ni sample hydration behaviors, a same hysteresis thickness characterized by obvious fluctuations of interlayer water molecule abundances is observed. Nevertheless, in the case of Hg and Ba-saturated montmorillonite, the retention water process versus the applied cycles was steadier comparing with Mg ions.

A series of novel zinc oxide / Poly (methyl methacrylate) nanocomposite films with different ZnO contents were prepared through inclusion of pre-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles. The physical composition and morphology of the as-prepared nanocomposites were studied by XRD and TEM. The TEM analyses revealed that the zinc oxide nanoparticles have a particle size of ~3–5 nm. X-ray diffraction proved the presence of the amorphous PMMA in the nanocomposites. The intermolecular interactions within the polymer nanocomposites were explored by FTIR and XRD. FTIR spectra confirmed the dispersion of the zinc oxide nanoparticles in the Poly (methyl methacrylate) i.e. PMMA matrices. The UV-Vis absorption measurements of the ZnO/PMMA nanocomposites proved their potential optical properties.

Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xEuxCu3Oδ cuprates superconductor doped with Eu nanoparticles (x = 0.0000, 0.0025, 0.0200 and 0.0500) were synthesized through conventional solid state reaction method. Crystalline sucrose was added during pelletization and burn at 400°C for two hours to create low density sample. The effect of doping Eu2O3 nanoparticles on the structural and superconducting properties by means of critical temperature (Tc), critical current density (Jc), X-ray diffraction (XRD) together with Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Alternating Current Susceptibility (ACS) were studied. Based on XRD analyses, the crystallographic structure has shown slightly changed from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The amount of 2223 phase gradually decreased with the increment of Eu concentration which indicates that Eu nanoparticles substitution favours the growth of 2212 phases. The resistivity measurements show that the highest Tcvalue for doped samples found at 90 K for x = 0.0025. The FESEM images showed that the plate-like grains become smaller and distributed randomly without specific alignment due to the increment of Eu concentration.

Superparamagnetic Properties

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation in isobutanol with sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide. The isobutanol played a role of a surfactant in the synthesis. The nanoparticles were calcined for 100 min to 5 hours in the range of 300 to 600°C. The characterization of the samples by FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) confirmed the formation ofγ-Fe2O3(maghemite) from Fe3O4(magnetite) at calcination at 300°C. The morphology and particle size were studied by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Nanoparticles in the range of 11–22 nm prepared at 0.09 M of ferrous chloride exhibited superparamagnetic properties. Nanoparticles synthesized with ferrous chloride and ammonium hydroxide at 75°C and calcined at 530°C for 2 h wereα-Fe2O3(hematite).

Superparamagnetic magnetite-alginate nanoparticles (M-AlgNPs) were synthesized utilizing a coprecipitation method. Then, the prepared M-AlgNPs were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) to affirm the formation and the crystallinity of this composite. In addition, the surface morphology of the prepared nanoparticles was inspected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which revealed well-dispersed nanoparticles of Fe3O4 into alginate. The adsorption characteristics of the synthesized nanoparticles for removing Ni+2 and Co+2 from wastewater were evaluated via atomic absorption measurements (AAS). The elimination efficiency of the M-AlgNPs was detected at pH=7 in 100 ppm (initial concentration) of Ni+2 and Co+2, separately. The M-AlgNPs provided the maximum equilibrium uptake percentage for Ni+2 and Co+2 of 97.88 and 95.01%, respectively. The adsorption of Ni+2 and Co+2 onto the M-AlgNP surface was found to fit the Langmuir model with R2 values higher than that obtained from the Freundlich model for both metal ions. Moreover, RL “separating factor” for the adsorption process was assessed and found to be less than unity; this expresses the higher ability of the investigated metal ions to be adsorbed onto the M-AlgNP surface. The adsorption method was discovered to be pH-dependent and well-suited to the isothermal equations of Langmuir and Freundlich. For regeneration studies, M-AlgNPs have been investigated and results confirmed that it could be reused with effective sorption capacity over three cycles.
