The phase equilibrium in systems of CuSbS2 – PrSbS3 and CuSbS2 – ErSbS3 has been studied by physicochemical methods (Differential thermal analysis – DTA, X-ray diffraction phase analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy – SEM analysis and microhardness testing) and their T-x diagrams were drawn. It was determined that both systems are quazibinary and characterized by formation of Cu2LnSb3S7 -type (Ln = Pr, Er) compounds. Cu2PrSb3S7 melts congruently at 1050 K and is the phase with unstable content. Its dissolution zone changes within concentration interval of 32-37 mole% of PrSbS3. Cu2PrSb3S7 divides the system into two sub-systems: CuSbS2-Cu2PrSb3S7 and Cu2PrSb3S7-PrSbS3. Both of sub-systems are eutectic. The coordinates of the eutectic point are like following: 15 mole % PrSbS3, T = 740 K and 50 mole % PrSbS3, T = 790 K. Cu2ErSb3S7 melts at 920 K by decomposition. At 725K between Cu2ErSb3S7 and CuSbS2 compounds in content of 15 mole % of ErSbS3 is formed eutectic balance. 4 mole % of solid solution is formed on base of CuSbS2. Both compounds are crystallized by naffildite-type structure in the form of rhombic syngonia (Cu2PrSb3S7 – a = 1.444; b = 2.146; c = 0.3995 nm; z = 4; Cu2ErSb3S7 – a = 1.430; b = 2.128; c = 0.380 nm; z = 4; stereogroup Pbnm or Pbn21).

ABSTRACTBa0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) buffered Ti substrates. Both BST and LSCO were prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis were used to investigate the effect of LSCO sol concentration on the crystallinity and surface morphology of the films. The results show that with the increase of LSCO sol concentration, BST films show variation of the structure and dielectric properties. BST films for LSCO of 0.2 mol/L exhibit a better crystallinity and improved dielectric properties, with the tunability, dielectric constant and tanδ of 30%, 420 and 0.028 respectively.

The mixed powders of 70%Fe and 30%Al were precoated, and Fe-Al intermetallics coatings were produced on an aluminum ZL114A alloy by means of laser cladding. The microstructure and hardness of the coatings are analyzed by using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and microhardness testing machines. The results show that a fine surface quality can be obtained under a suitable process parameter of laser. The laser cladding layers are mainly consisted of phases of FeAl3, Fe3Al, FeAl with lump-like, granular, equiaxial and needle-like. The highest microhardness of the cladding layer achieved HV614 and raised 5~6 times in comparison to substrate.

The zeolite NaA has been successfully synthesized from the low grade natural zeolite with high impurities. The synthesis method was started by mixing natural zeolite powder with NH4Cl aqueous solution in the reactor as pretreatment. The use of pretreatment was to reduce the impurities contents in the zeolite. The process was followed by alkaline fusion hydrothermal treatment to modify the framework structure of natural zeolite and reduce the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. Finally, the synthesized zeolite was calcined at 600 °C for 2 h. The final zeolite product was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the morphology of the zeolite NaA was cubic shape as observed by SEM analysis and the synthesized zeolite NaA with pretreatment gave less impurity than without pretreatment.

Archaeological excavations at the Sungai Batu Archeological Complex have unearthed potsherds with monument structures. The discovery of the potsherds enables scientific studies of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis to be conducted and resolve related issues such as where the raw materials were obtained by the manufacturers. To solve the issue, potsherds were taken from around the ancient river, and scientific analyses was conducted for comparison purposes. Before the clay sample was subjected to the scientific analyses, the samples were cleaned and measured (for weight, thickness and width). Color sampling was also performed. Based on results of the analyses, it clearly shows that the potsherds was produced using raw materials from the ancient river in the Sungai Batu Complex itself and baked at a temperature between 550°C and 650°C.

<em>meso</em>-Tetrakis(3-pyridyl)porphyrinatoiron(III) chloride encapsulated on NaY Zeolite [Fe(T-3-PyP)@NaY] was synthesized as a heterogeneous “ship-in-a-bottle” type catalyst and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), atomic absorption (AA), diffused reflectance UV-Vis (DR UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The catalytic activity of Fe(T-3-PyP)@NaY was examined for the epoxidation of cyclohexene by PhI(OAc)<sub>2</sub> in CH<sub>3</sub>CN/H<sub>2</sub>O (5:1) and compared to that of Fe(T-3-PyP) as a homogenous catalyst. We found that the heterogeneous catalyst Fe(T-3-PyP)@NaY was stable and reusable for several times, and provided a mild condition and exhibited high activity and selectivity in the oxidation of alkenes to epoxides(16-94%). As representative examples for the use of Fe(T-3-PyP)@NaY/ PhI(OAc)<sub>2</sub> in organic oxidations, oxidation of 4-nitrobenzylalcohol to 4-nitrobenzaldehyde (97 %), oxidative dehydrogenation of diethyl 4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl- 1,4-dihydro-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate to the corresponding pyridine (100 %), diphenylacetic acid to benzophenone (64 %) was achieved.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.
