CdWO4 nanoflakes and nanorods have been successfully prepared through a mild template-free sonochemical method without any surfactants. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the ultrasound irradiation played an important role in the formation of CdWO4 crystals. The results showed that CdWO4 nanoflakes were first formed at the early stage, and CdWO4 nanoflakes were transformed into nanorods as the ultrasonic time was prolonged from 0.5h to 1.5h.

SrTiO3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a sonochemical method at room temperature. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and exhibited a pure phase SrTiO3 with a perovskite structure about 20nm in size with uniform and nearly spherical shape. It is found that the size of the obtained nanoparticles increased with prolonging the ultrasonic time.

By means of sonochemical method, Fe 3 O 4 and ZnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystallines can be synthesized from FeCl 2/ urea and ZnCl 2/ FeCl 2/ urea in water. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Special attention was paid to the microstructure of the nanocrystallines using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM). Probable mechanisms for the sonochemical formation of Fe 3 O 4 and ZnFe 2 O 4 nanocrystallines are discussed.

A sonochemical method has been applied to prepared PbWO4 crystals by using different precursors. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the precursor played an important role in the synthesis of PbWO4 crystals. PbWO4 nanostructures with different morphologies, such as flower-like, rod-like, and dendrite-like, have been successfully obtained via a mild sonochemical method corresponding to the precursor PbCO3, Pb(NO3)2, and Pb(Ac)2, respectively.

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.
