In this work, using the example of a bimetallic nanoscale system FePt, a new approach to the assessment of the structural parameters of nanoscale mono- and polymetallic systems by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is proposed. The data obtained by the TEM method are compared with the data obtained by the method of X-ray structural analysis. Some crystallographic parameters, such as the interplanar distances, average sizes, and phase compositions of the studied nanoparticles of the FePt system are calculated. The most widespread method for obtaining information about the crystal structure of nanosized particles is the method based on the phenomenon of X-ray diffraction. It allows one to determine the phase composition and perform structural analysis of a substance, as well as to estimate the size of the resulting particles. In this method, crystallographic information arises due to X-ray diffraction from the entire surface of the powder. Thus, the researcher sees an integral diffraction pattern. In this case, the study of individual nanoparticles by X-ray structural analysis is extremely difficult. However, the number of methods for assessing structural parameters is not limited to X-ray diffraction methods. In this work, an approach is made to study the structural characteristics of FePt nanoparticles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), since high-resolution microimages obtained by the TEM method provide a unique opportunity to distinguish individual atoms of the crystal lattice of the objects under study.

Resolution Study

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.
