Abstract Polytypes of colourless and coloured single crystals of silicon carbide (SiC) grown on SiC substrates by chemical vapour deposition are studied using Raman spectroscopy supplemented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The SEM analysis of the defect stacking faults, inclusions of defects and their distribution has shown that they correlate with the peak positions of the obtained Raman spectra and with the XRD data on the crystal structure

AbstractSingle oxides (with titanium or lead) deposited as thin films by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapour deposition were investigated by x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Examination of mixed oxides (titanates) and silicates were also carried out using these techniques. The crystallographic nature of these thin films were examined and comparisons made to their bulk counterparts. The deposition and anneal conditions 600 for producing cubic PbTiO3 films are discussed briefly.

In this study, we examined the influence of microstructured charcoal (MC) when added to ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO) samples. We performed a study that investigated ANFOs structure, crystallinity, and morphology by utilizing infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. MC characteristics were probed by Raman spectroscopy and SEM analysis. SEM analysis indicated how fuel oil (FO) covered ammonium nitrate prill. Moreover, the surface of the MC was covered by specific microfibers and microtubes. The disordered graphitic structure of the MC was also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Simulation of blasting properties revealed that the addition of MC should decrease blasting parameters like heat explosion, detonation pressure, and detonation temperature. However, the obtained differences are negligible in comparison with the regular ANFO. All analyses indicated that MC was a good candidate as an additive to ANFO.

AbstractThin film(s) of chalcopyrite CuInE2(where E = S or Se) have been grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (LP-MOCVD) using the precursors [In(E2CNMenHexyl)3] and [Cu(E2CNMenHexyl)2]. Similarly, thin films of ME (where M = Zn, Cd; E = S, Se) have been deposited from precursors of general formula [M(E2CNMenHex)2]x. Films were grown on glass between 400 - 500 °C, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy (UV/Vis), EDAX and scanning electron microscopy.

AbstractThin film(s) of chalcopyrite CulnSe2 have been grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (LP-MOCVD) using the precursors In(Se2CNMenHexyl)3 and precursors Cu(Se2CNMenHexyl)2. The precursors were prepared from carbon diselenide. Films were grown on glass between 400 – 450 °C, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy (UV/Vis), EDAX and scanning electron microscopy.

AbstractFrom the copper-catalyzed reaction of germanium powder with dichloromethane at 350 °C a mixture of alkylchlorogermanes is obtained, in which CH3GeCl3, CH2(GeCl3)2 (1) and (Cl2GeCH2)3 (2) are the major products. Treatment of 1 and 2 with LiAlH4 in di-n-butyl or diethylether, resp., affords the hydrides CH2(GeH3)2 (3) and cyclic (H2GeCH2)3 (4), the latter along with the heterocycle H2Ge(CH2GeH2)2 (5). Compounds 3-5 have been identified by analytical and spectroscopic data, and the crystal structure of 4 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmn21, with two molecules in the unit cell (a = 8.663(1), b = 7.783(1), c = 6.124(1) Å). The molecules, which are in a chair conformation, have crystallographic mirror symmetry with bond angles slightly larger than tetrahedral and Ge-C distances of 1.944(6), 1.953(3) and 1.955(4) Å. The compounds show potential as substrates for plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PE-CVD) of amorphous germanium carbon alloys (a-Ge, C:H).

In the present work, LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites were synthesized by the modified Pechini method. These materials were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction coupled to the Rietveld method. The crystal structure of these materials is orthorhombic, with space group Pbnm (No 62). The unit-cell parameters are a = 5.535(5) Å, b = 5.527(3) Å, c = 7.819(7) Å, V = 239.2(3) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, a = 5.538(6) Å, b = 5.528(4) Å, c = 7.825(10) Å, V = 239.5(4) Å3, for the LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and a = 5.540(2) Å, b = 5.5334(15) Å, c = 7.834(3) Å, V = 240.2(1) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3.

Novel single-crystalline SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized by chemical vapour deposition. Sn powder in a ceramic boat covered with Si plates was heated at 1100°C in a flowing argon atmosphere to get deposits on a Si wafers. The main part of deposits is SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). SEM observations reveal that the SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons are almost uniform, with lengths near to several hundred micrometers and have a good periodically tuned microstructure as the same zigzag angle and growth directions. Possible growth mechanism of these zigzag nanoribbons was discussed. A room temperature PL spectrum of the zigzag nanoribbons shows three peaks at 373nm, 421nm and 477nm.The novel zigzag microstructures will provide a new candidate for potential application.
