NiFe2O4/ZnO core-shell nanocomposites were prepared by two-step methodology. First, NiFe2O4 nanoparticles as the cores were synthesized by using hydrothermal method, and then modified by sodium citrate. After that ZnO as the shell was coated on modified NiFe2O4 nanoparticles by two different chemical methods including hydrothermal and co-precipitation. The formation, crystal structure, morphology and magnetic properties of the uncoated and coated samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. It was shown that the core nanoparticles are single phase of NiFe2O4 with cubic spinel structure. Sodium citrate was well bonded on the surface of the modified nanoparticles. Contributions of the phases in the coated samples as well as structural parameters were determined from XRD data on applying of Rietveld refinement analysis. Magnetization of the core can be improved by adjusting the modification steps. XRD analysis result and SEM images revealed the formation of core/shell structure in the sample coated by using co-precipitation method.

Nanocrystalline ZnS and Ni doped ZnS powders were synthesized by a simple chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature using sodium sulfide and acetates of Zinc and Nickel. 2-Mercapto ethanol is used as a capping agent. Structural and optical properties of as prepared samples were characterized using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analysis using X-rays (EDAX) and Photoluminescence studies (PL). EDAX measurements confirmed the presence of Zn, Ni and S in the prepared samples. XRD analysis reveals that the Zn1-xNixS (x= 0.00 and 0.01) nanoparticles crystallized in zincblende structure. The average particle sizes of the nanoparticles are in the range of 2-3 nm. Shifting of photo luminescence peak to higher wavelength along with intensity quenching is observed for doped ZnS nanocrystals (NCs).

SnO2-CuO nanocomposites have been synthesized with the simple co-precipitation method for gas sensing properties. Sn and CuO powder were the starting materials. The synthesized products were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that SnO2-CuO nanocomposites have a tetragonal and monoclinic structure, respectively. SEM images verify that the some microballs are up to 10 µm and nanorods have a diameter range from 10-100 nm, while length ranges a few micrometers. The nanocomposite products were highly sensitivity to CO2gas at room temperature.

In this work, comparison of TiO2 additions on the physical properties of YBa2Cu3Oδ superconductor system with nominal starting compositions at x= 0, 1, 2, and 5 wt.% was studied derived via solid state reaction and co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result from XRD shown that all the samples were polycrystalline for solid state reaction, while single phase appear for co-precipitation methods. The intensity of the peak become higher with increasing amount of TiO2 addition indicating the presence of increased amount of the unreacted in the samples. The refine lattice parameters indicated that all the samples have an orthorhombic crystal structure without occurrence of orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transformation. Furthermore, from SEM images for solid state reaction and co-precipitation method showed that the grain size of the samples decreased with TiO2 increased. Small addition of TiO2 derived from co-precipitation method enhanced the YBCO microstructures.

In this work, mixed (Sm1-xYx)2[C2O4]3.nH2O with x= 0.50 and 0.70 were prepared using standardized co precipitation method. All the synthesized oxalates were characterized by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter. All the samples are homogeneous in stoichiometry. The XRD analysis of these synthesized samples reveals that a solid solution forms for these two compositions The thermal decomposition of the mixed oxalates is complex although completed a lower temperatures. This is an important result for the preparation of Sm-Y mixed oxides, because all the properties of the mixed oxides are intrinsic and depend only on their composition and thermal treatment schedules.

The core/shell type of cobalt ferrite nanocluster formed on the surface of the ionic copolymer microsphere was prepared by in-situ co-precipitation method. The low treatment temperature at 90°C with an external magnetic field (0.5T) was used instead of the traditional high temperature annealing procedure. Interestingly, the crystalline structure and saturation magnetization of cobalt ferrite nanoclusters preparing with extra magnetic field are better than that of no extra magnetic field from the XRD and VSM verification. Furthermore, the hollow sphere type of magnetic particle can be obtained when the ionic copolymer is extracted from the core/shell nanocomposite by using tetrahydrofuran solvent with supersonic oscillation.

BaFe2-xPbxO9(x=0.0 to 1.0) samples were prepared by co-precipitation method. All samples were sintered at 960±5°C for three hours. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Variation in structural parameters was calculated from XRD obtained data. SEM micrographs were used to study the morphology and grain growth. No regular increase or decrease in structural parameters and morphology is observed with increase in Pb content. For dc electrical characterizations, dc resistivity was measured as a function of temperature up to 750K. Data obtained was further analyzed and different dc parameters like activation energy and mobility were measured. For dielectric analysis, capacitance C was measured in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 3MHz. High dielectric constant for this material makes this material suitable for applications like multilayer capacitors (MLC), microwave devices and dynamic random access memory (DRAM).

The SrNixFe12−2xO19 (where x = 0.0–0.8) hexaferrites powders were synthesized using Co-precipitation method and the pellets were prepared at 1100 °C/4 h in muffle furnace. XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDS analysis were used to analyze the samples structural parameters. The changes in the lattice parameters ‘a’&‘c’ are due to the differences in ionic radii. The average grain size (<D>) was estimated from SEM images and found to be in between 1.713 m (x = 0) - 0.549 m (x = 1.0). Observations indicated a decrease in saturation magnetization decreased from 68 emu/g (x = 0.0) to 50 emu/g (x = 0.6) and for x > 0.6, MS increases to 64 emu/g (x = 0.8). The coercivity exhibit anisotropic variation with doping concentration. In the present investigation, the samples shows ε = 487; tanδ = 1.97 for x = 0.6, and ε = 181; tanδ = 1.01 for x = 0.8, respectively. The observed results can be explained on the basis of composition,relaxationphenomena and super exchange interaction.

ABSTRACTNi/Mg/Al mixed oxides were obtained from hydrotalcite-like precursors by thermal decomposition at 400º, 600º and 800ºC using co-precipitation method at pH 7. The mixed oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. XRD analysis revealed the formation of NixMg1-xO (x = 0 - 1), α-Al2O3 and traces of MgAl2O4 (NiAl2O4) phases. The diffraction peak positions for MgO or NiO oxides were shifted towards 2θ values higher than simulated for pure bulk oxides that can be attributed to the possible presence of lattice vacancies or surface compressive stress. The evaluated grain size by XRD technique was about 8 -10 nm. It was also detected the presence of microstrains that can be associated with the presence of extended defects in the grains. SEM observations showed that the particles of oxides are formed as agglomerates with the particle sizes of 50 nm up to 200 nm. EDS detected the presence of Mg2+, Ni2+, and Al3+ cations and oxygen in all particles independently on their size. The obtained results revealed the presence of mixture of Ni/Mg/Al oxides in each particle obtained. The oxides calcined at temperatures of 400º and 600ºC were unstable and under air storage they revert to the precursor. The incorporation of Ni2+ in Mg-Al mixed oxides leads to stability of the compounds calcined at 800ºC.
