Nano-FexOy (including γ-Fe2O3, α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) particles were prepared by acetylacetonate iron [Fe(C5H7O2)3] thermal decomposition under air condition at low temperature. X-ray diffusion (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction pattern (EDP), and specific surface area were carried out to characterized these nanoparticles. The influencing factors of experiment were discussed and studied, and the results show that γ-Fe2O3, α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 in different morphology can be obtained respectively by controlling the experiment conditions. The primary particle of Fe3O4 is about 16 nm; the primary particle of γ- Fe2O3 is about 20 nm and arranges compact. The second nanoparticle of γ- Fe2O3 presents catenarian and has the tendency to form an close space.

In this study CuO nanoparticles were prepared via direct thermal decomposition method using basic copper sulphates as wet chemically synthesized precursor which was calcined in air at 750?C for 2h. Samples were characterized by thermogravimetric (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), infrared spectrum (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD, EDS, and IR results indicated that the synthesized CuO particles were pure. The SEM and TEM results showed that the CuO nanoparticles were of approximate spherical shape, and 170?5 nm in size. Using this method, Cuo nanoparticles could be produced without using organic solvent, expensive raw materials, and complicated equipment.

ABSTRACTZinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanocrystals were directly produced by hydrothermal process. The nanocrystals were synthesized using zinc acetate as precursor and hydrogen peroxide as oxidant agent. The ZnO2 powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results of transmission electron microscopy indicated that the ZnO2powders consisted of nanocrystals with diameters below to 20 nm and a faceted morphology. High resolution electron microscopy observations have been used in order to the structural characterization. ZnO2 nanocrystals exhibit a well-crystallized structure.

X-ray irradiation was applied to control the size of metal colloids in a silicate glass to make a high precise photosensitive glass containing K2O, Na2O, ZnO BaO, 0.01-0.05wt.% Au metal as sensitizer, <1.2wt.% Sb2O3 and SnO2 as thermal reducer. Colorimetry showed that X-ray irradiation effectively works to make the color of red system. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the metal colloids were oxided and had uniform and spherical shape of 10-20 nm. Au colloid made various colors like pink after heating at 400°C, red at 500°C and dark-red at 600°C. Ag colloid made them like yellow-green at 400°C, yellow at 500°C and dark-brown, respectively.

Abstract In this work, we report synthesis of hybrid nanostructures of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides via thermal decomposition method. Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate was used as not only growth templates but also as starting precursor for synthesis of hybrid nanostructures. The conditions for the synthesizing method were optimized using electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. In this hybrid nanostructure synthesis, it was found that MoO3 nanorods are interspersed on exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets. The structural and optical properties of the hybrid nanostructure were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and Ultraviolet Visible spectrophotometry (UV-VIS). The hybrid nanostructure of MoO3 on MoS2 shows a band gap of 2.2 eV. It was also found that by tuning the preparation parameters viz temperature of heating and time of heating, the composition of the hybrid nanostructure can be varied.

ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized via a thermal decomposition method. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence were used to investigate the composition and nanostructure of the material. Compared with commercial ZnO nanoparticles, ZnO nanocrystals showed higher lithium storage capacity and better cycling characteristics and exhibited a reversible discharge capacity of 500 mAh g−1after 100 cycles at 200 mA g−1.

ABSTRACTMicrostructural development in helium gas atomized Ti-50A1-2Nb (at.%) powder has been characterized using x-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. The structure of the as-atomized powder was a mixture of two phases: an ordered fct (L10)γ TiAl phase and an hcp α Ti phase containing fine (≈ 10–20 nm) D019 α2 domains. Large powder (≈ 250 μm) contained ≈ 14 volume % hcp phase, while fine powder (≈37 μm) contained ≈ 72 volume % hcp phase. However, this α+α2 constituent was metastable and transformed to the γ phase during annealing.

Luminescent wollastonite-CePO4 nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized using Ca(NO3)2•4H2O, Na2SiO3•9H2O, and CePO4 by hydrothermal method at 200 oC for 24 h. The precursor nanorods with diameters about 20 nm and lengths several micrometers were obtained by hydrothermal treatment, and after calcination at 600 oC for 3h, the precursor nanorods transformed to wollastonite-CePO4 nanocomposites. Considering the experiment result, a possible growth of the precursor nanorods via the rolling mechanism was also proposed. This is the first report about the synthesis of luminescent wollastonite-CePO4 nanocomposites. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and photoluminescence (PL).

Nano-grained phosphors of Eu3+-doped MgGa2O4 crystallites were prepared by sol-gel technique. The characterization and optical properties of luminescent MgGa2O4:Eu3+ powders have been investigated. The dried sol-gel powders were calcined in air at different temperature from 600 to 1000 °C for 5 h. The x-ray diffraction profiles showed that the MgGa2O4:Eu3+ powders began to crystallize around 600 °C and formed stable MgGa2O4 phase in the temperature range of 600–900 °C. The transmission electron microscopy morphology observations revealed that the fired powders exhibit small grain size less than 20 nm. In the PL studies, under ultraviolet (394 nm) excitation, the calcined powders emitted bright red luminescence (615 nm, 5D0→7F2), and the powders fired at 900 °C were found to have the maximum photoluminescence intensity. The quenching concentration of Eu3+ in MgGa2O4 crystallites was also indicated to be about 5∼6 mol%.

AbstractTitanium silicide films grown on silicon were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The films were prepared by sequential rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 675 °C and 850 °C of 16-nm-thick sputtered Ti on Si (001) wafers. In some cases, a 20-nm-thick TiN capping layer was deposited on the Ti film before the RTA procedure and was removed after annealing. TEM and STEM analyses showed that the silicide films were less than 0.1 μm thick; the capped film was more uniform, ranging in thickness from ∼ 25 – 45 nm, while the uncapped film ranged in thickness from ∼ 15 – 75 nm. Electron diffraction was used to determine that the capped film contained C54-TiSi2, C49-TiSi2, Ti5Si3, and possibly TiSi, and that the uncapped film contained C49-TiSi2, TiSi, Ti5Si3, unreacted Ti, and possibly C54-TiSi2.

AbstractThe possibility of nanocrystal formation in silicon layers subjected to plasma-immersion helium-ion implantation at an energy of 5 keV has been proved for the first time. The effect of the implantation dose on the microstructure of the layers has been studied by X-ray reflectometry, transmission electron microscopy and Raman scattering. It has been established that the formation of silicon nanocrystals with dimensions of 10–20 nm is accompanied by a pronounced dependence on the ion flux and occurs at a dose of 5 × 10^17 cm^–2 with subsequent annealing at 700–800°C. The excessive dose has been shown to cause the destruction of the upper protective sublayer and the degradation of the optical properties of nanocrystals.
