In this report, we presented the usage of Stober method to fabricate SiO2 nanospheres and self-assembly method to make SiO2 opal photonic crystals based on the fabricated SiO2 nanospheres. An averaged size of SiO2 nanospheres was controlled by varying concentrations of NH4OH and TEOS. Crystal structure and morphology of particles was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Experimental results showed that SiO2 nanospheres possess amorphous crystal structure with sizes ranged from 150 to 300 nm. The diffuse reflection spectra show the reflection peaks of the SiO2 opal photonic crystals from 410 nm to 520 nm.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes were synthesized separately using amino acetic acid (AA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), oxalic acid (OA) as dopant and ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant by a self-assembly method. SEM, TEM,FTIR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and applying the 4 probes method characterized the morphology, structure and property of the product. It was found that nanotubes morphology were synthesized when the [Aci/[A ratio is 1:2.The room template conductivity of the products were studied.

Doped polyaniline (PANI) nanostructure has been prepared at room temperature using amino acetic acid (AA) as dopant and ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant by a self-assembly method. The structure and property of polyaniline nanostructure were characterized by SEM, TEM,IR and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and applying the 4 probes method. The results showed the production was PANI. The effect of molar ratio of AA to An affected the morphology of the product and room template conductivity of the products were studied.

ABSTRACTThis work reports on the structural characterization of Au nanocrystals directly prepared on the surface of (100)Si and 150 nm-thick SiO2 deposited (100)Si substrates, by a physical self-assembly method, consisting in the UHV evaporation of a thin Au film and its successive high temperature annealing. The morphology, orientation, and crystalline structure of Au nanocrystals were characterized by scanning and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Experimental results show that the nature of the substrate strongly influences the process of Au nanocrystal formation upon heat treatment, by affecting the interaction of deposited Au with the underlying material. In the case of clean (100)Si substrates the Au strongly interacts with Si, so that Au nanoislands are obtained with a well defined epitaxial relationships with the substrate, i.e. [100]AuÐÐ[110]Si and [110]AuÐÐ[311]Si. The nanoisland shape is affected by faceting at the Au/Si interface, the Au nanocrystal being limited by the {111}, {311}, {711} and {-111} planes of Si. In the case of SiO2/(100)Si substrates spherical shaped Au nanoparticles with random crystal orientation are instead, produced.

Spinel-perovskite multiferroics of NiFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanoparticles were prepared by modified Pechini method. The structure and morphology of the composites were examined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the composites consisted of spinel NiFe2O4 and perovskite BiFeO3 after annealed at 700°C for 2h, and the particle size ranges from 40 to 100nm. VSM and ME results indicated that the nanocomposites exhibited both tuning magnetic properties and a ME effect. The ME effect of the nanocomposites strongly depended on the magnetic bias and magnetic field frequency.

AbstractA potassium tetranitratopalladate(II) with the composition K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 was synthesized by a simple solvothermal process in a glass ampoule. The new compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a = 1017.15(4), b = 892.94(3), c = 880.55(3) Å, and β = 98.13(1)° (Z = 2). The crystal structure of K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 reveals isolated complex [Pd(NO3)4]2− anions, which are surrounded by eight potassium cations and four HNO3 molecules. The complex anions and the cations are associated in layers which are separated by HNO3 molecules. K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 can thus be regarded as a HNO3 intercalation variant of β-K2[Pd(NO3)4]. The characterization is based on single-crystal X-ray and powder X-ray diffraction.

Bis(5-amino-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methane (BATZM, C5H8N8) was synthesized and its crystal structure characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; it belongs to the space group Fdd2 (orthorhombic) with Z = 8. The structure of BATZM can be described as a V-shaped molecule with reasonable chemical geometry and no disorder. The specific molar heat capacity (Cp,m ) of BATZM was determined using the continuous Cp mode of a microcalorimeter and theoretical calculations, and the Cp,m value is 211.19 J K−1 mol−1 at 298.15 K. The relative deviations between the theoretical and experimental values of Cp,m , HT – H 298.15K and ST – S 298.15K of BATZM are almost equivalent at each temperature. The detonation velocity (D) and detonation pressure (P) of BATZM were estimated using the nitrogen equivalent equation according to the experimental density; BATZM has a higher detonation velocity (7954.87 ± 3.29 m s−1) and detonation pressure (25.72 ± 0.03 GPa) than TNT.

We present an experimental investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of Ho3SbO7 and Dy3SbO7. These compounds adopt the Y3TaO7 structure, space group C2221. The magnetic rare-earth ions occupy an intricate lattice related to the pyrochlore lattice that occurs in Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7. The crystal structure of Ho3SbO7 is determined by Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray diffraction pattern at ambient temperature, and that of the Dy analogue is inferred to be similar. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that Ho3SbO7 and Dy3SbO7 have negative Curie–Weiss temperatures: –8.4 K (Ho) and –9.2 K (Dy). Magnetic transitions have been detected at 2.0 K (Ho) and 3.0 K (Dy). We discuss the results in terms of the ``dipolar spin ice model'' that has been used to describe Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7.

AbstractMagnesium acesulfamate, Mg(C4H4NO4S)2·6H2O, was prepared by the reaction of acesulfamic acid and magnesium carbonate in aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis. Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The substance crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ with one molecule per unit cell. The FTIR spectrum of the compound was also recorded and is briefly discussed. Some comparisons with other simple acesulfamate and saccharinate salts are also made.
