We have synthesized the Ti1-x Fex O2 (x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.05) nanoparticles by the sol gel method to enhance the photocatalyic property of TiO2 .These samples are characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Ultraviolet /Visible (UV/V) spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy (PL). The x-ray diffraction patterns show that all the sample are formed in single phase with a complete solubility of Fe ions in the TiO2 matrix. TiO2 nanoparticles are tetragonal with anatase structure belong to the space group D41h 9 (141 ) /amd Raman active modes appear at 150, 196, 396, 483, 516 and 637cm-1. UV/V spectra show a decrease in the band gap with the increase in Fe concentration from 3.26 eV (1% Fe concentration) to3.11 eV (5% Fe concentration).

Bi0.95Eu0.05Fe0.95Co0.05O3 Nanoparticles sample was prepared by sol-gel process. The microstructure of samples was analysised by X-ray diffraction(XRD), the result indicated that it was the single phase rhombohedral perovskite structure. The morphology of samples was measured by scanning electron microsopy(SEM), the SEM photograph of samples indicated that the nanoparticles of Bi0.95Eu0.05Fe0.95Co0.05O3 sample were small than that of BiFeO3. The valence states of Fe ions in the samples was analysised by the X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS). The XAS of Fe2p showed that it was the mixed valence states (Fe2+ and Fe3+) of Fe ions in samples, and the binding energy of Bi0.95Eu0.05Fe0.95Co0.05O3 was bigger than that of BiFeO3.The magnetic characteristics of the samples were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM),the results showed that the weak metamagnetism were obtained from clear hysteresis loop and the magnetic saturation reached 0.408emu/g,compared with BiFeO3 sample, the magnetic properties were significantly enhanced.

Abstract Samples of pure zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) and doped both with lead (Pb2+) at different ratios (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% mol) and a constant amount of lanthanum (La: 1% mol), were prepared by the citrate sol-gel technique, and then annealed at 900°C for 2h. In order to study the structural, optical and thermal properties; different characterization methods were used, such as: powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TGA, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The Analyzes by XRD revealed the presence of the cubic single phase ZnAl2O4 for all samples, with a crystallites size between 19 and 25 nm. These results were confirmed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM. Also, photocatalytic study for different samples of ZnAl2O4 shows that they can be used like as photocatalyst and good adsorbents for degradation of Hexamethyl crystallized violet dye in aqueous solution.

Fe-doped (Ce0.98Fe0.02O2−δ) cerium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol-gel-based method at 1000 °C during different calcination time (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5h). The effect of calcination time on microstructure and structural properties of the Ce0.98Fe0.02O2−δ nanoparticles was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Analysis of the XRD pattern shows that all samples exhibited a single-phase fluorite structurewith lattice parameters ranging from 0.540991 Å (1.0h) to0.540635 Å (2.5h). Raman spectroscopy also confirms that the Fe atoms successfully displaced some of the Ce atoms in the CeO2 lattice without forming any impure phases. XRD and Raman spectroscopy results showed that both crystallite size and the particle size increased as the calcination time increased from around 36 nm (1.0h) to 64 nm (2.5h).

Pure and Co-doped NiTiO3 nanocrystalline powders were prepared by the sol-gel method. The effect of Co2+ doping on structural, optical and magnetic properties of NiTiO3 was investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis absorption, Raman spectroscopy and vibration samples magnetometer. It was found that all fabricated samples were in single phase with rhombohedral structure. The presence of Co modifies the optical properties of the NiTiO3 nanocrystalline powders. Co doping in NiTiO3 resulted in decreasing of optical bandgap from 2.34 to 1.91 eV. The undoped and Co-doped samples

BiFeO3 is considered as a single phase multiferroic. However, its magnetism is very weak. We study the magnetic properties of BiFeO3 by Cu and (Cu, Zn). Polycrystalline samples Bi(Fe0.95Cu0.05)O3 and BiFe0.95(Zn0.025Cu0.025)O3 are prepared by the sol-gel method. The magnetic properties of BiFe0.95(Zn0.025Cu0.025)O3 are greater than that of BiFeO3 and Bi(Fe0.95Cu0.05)O3. The analyses of X-ray absorption fine structure data show that the doped Cu atoms well occupy the sites of the Fe atoms. X-ray absorption near edge spectra data confirm that the valence state of Fe ions does not change. Cu and Zn metal ion co-doping has no impact on the local structure of the Fe and Bi atoms. The modification of magnetism by doping Zn can be understood by the view of the occupation site of non-magnetically active Zn2+.

AbstractA nanocomposite of 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 has been synthesized using a sol-gel route. Structural and optical properties of the nanocomposite have been discussed in detail. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction spectroscopy confirm the phase purity and the particle size of the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposite (13 to 15 nm). The scanning electron microscopy also confirms the porosity in the sample, useful in sensing applications. The FT-IR analysis confirms the presence of physical interaction between SnO2 and Al2O3 due to the slight shifting and broadening of characteristic bands. The UV-Vis analysis confirms the semiconducting nature because of direct transition of electrons into the 0.5SnO2–0.5Al2O3 nanocomposites.

Al co-doped ZnCoO thin film has been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and optical properties of the sample were investigated. X-ray diffraction and UV absorption spectroscopy analyses indicate that Al3+ and Co2+ substitute for Zn2+ without changing the wurtzite structure. With the Al doping, the visible emission increased and the UV emission decreased, which is attributed to the increase of O vacancies and Zn interstitials.

In this study, we present the process of synthesis FexNi1-xMn2O4 (x = 0; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 0.7; 0.9; 1) by method sol-gel. Scanning electron microscope results shows that the particle size is about 50 nm. The X-ray diffraction diagram shows that the samples are single phase, changing structure clearly as the x ratio increases from 0 to 1. The lattice constant, the bond length also changes with x-value as shown on the Raman scattering spectrum. The results of the vibrating sample magnetometer show that the magnetism of the material FexNi1-xMn2O4 changes with the value of x and reaches a maximum in the range x from 0.5 to 0.7.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.
