The Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized through a solvothermal route by using FeCl36H2O and NH4HCO3 as the starting materials. The as-prepared products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The uniform size of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be well controlled from 10 to 90 nm by changing the surfactants or the inorganic salts in the solvothermal process. The experiment results reveal that the magnetic properties of magnetite nanoparticles can be tuned by changing the particles size. In addition, the solvents in this reaction system have an important influence on the composition and morphology of the final products.

Coral-like α-Fe2O3nanostructures modified by surfactant CTAB have been successfully obtained via a solvothermal process by using FeCl36H2O and oxalic acid as the starting materials. The coral-like α-Fe2O3nanostructures with good-crystalline consist of well-aligned α-Fe2O3nanoflakes with an average thickness of about 40 nm growing radially from the center of the nanostructures. The obtained products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID). Magnetic hysteresis measurements indicate that coral-like α-Fe2O3superstructures show a normal ferromagnetic behavior with the remanence and coercivity of 0.2346emu/g and 1862Oe at room temperature. CTAB, the reaction temperature and solvent played an important role in controlling the final morphology of the products.

The wurtzite polymorph of GaN was calcined with CuO in flowing nitrogen. As a result of this processing, both superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry and ferromagnetic resonance studies showed ferromagnetism in these samples at room temperature. These magnetic results are qualitatively consistent with very recent first-principle calculations [Wu et al., Appl. Phys. Lett.89, 062505 (2006)] that predict ferromagnetism in Cu-doped GaN. We focus in this paper on analyzing changes in the GaN atomic and electronic structure due to calcination with CuO using multiple analytical methods. Quantitative powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) showed changes in the lattice constants of the GaN due to the incorporation of copper (and possibly oxygen). Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy proved the incorporation of copper into the GaN crystal structure. Electron-gun monochromated electron energy loss spectroscopy showed CuO calcinations-induced GaN band gap changes and indicated changes in the atomic arrangements due to the calcination process. The fine structure of the N K-edge showed differences in the peak ratios with respect to higher nominal CuO contents, corresponding to an increase in the c-lattice constant as confirmed by XRD.

Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles with doping concentration of 1 at.% were synthesized at 200°C by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure hexagonal wurtzite structure without metallic Ni or other secondary phases and display rod-like shape with smooth surface. The magnetization measurements reveal that the Ni-doped rod-like ZnO particles show ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercive field are 0.0046 emu/g and 15 Oe, respectively.

Nanosized perovskite YTiO3 with the mean crystallite size of 18 nm was synthesized for the first time by mechanochemical treatment. The mechanochemical solid state reaction between commercial Y2O3 powder and mechanochemically synthesized TiO powder in molar ratio 0.5:1 was completed for 3 h in a high-energy planetary ball mill in argon atmosphere. The heating in vacuum at 1150 ?C for 12 h transforms nanosized YTiO3 to a well-crystallized single-phase perovskite YTiO3. Both samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric (TGA/DTA) analyses, as well as superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID) measurements.

Some studies of the usage of biomass to produce carbon-based compounds have been reported in the past. Here we report that palmyra sugar can be one of the sources to produce amorphous carbon (a-C) from biomass after the heating treatment at 250°C. In this paper, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) measurements are reported in order to check the detailed properties of a-C from palmyra sugar. The XRD data at a diffraction peak position (2θ) of ~23o support the formation of a-C. The functional groups detected by FTIR spectra consist of C=C, C-C, C-O, C=O, C-H and O-H. The remnant magnetization (Mr), coercive field (Hc) and saturation magnetization are estimated as ~0.1 10-3 emu/g, ~50 Oe and ~9 10-3 emu/g, respectively. Soft ferromagnetism in a-C from palmyra sugar is confirmed, comparable with the magnetization result in the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sample from coconut shell and rGO commercial material which have the same mixture hybridization.

Fe-Co-N thin films with various Co content were synthesized on Si (111) substrate using facing-target magnetron sputtering by changing sputtering input power on Co target. During deposition, the input power on Fe target was kept at 160 W. The composition, structure, and magnetic properties were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and superconducting quantum interference device. XRD and TEM investigations showed that at lower input power of 11.2 W on Co target, the phases in the film were -(Fe,Co)4N and Co3N. Increasing sputtering input power, the content of Co in the film increased. At input power of 14 W, film contained -(Fe,Co)8N phase was produced which exhibited higher saturation magnetization (252.85 Am2/kg) and lower value of coercivity (3.66 kAm-1), corresponded to the 12% content of Co in the film.

Non-doped and strontium-doped lanthanum cuprates (La2CuO4 (LCO) and La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 (LSCO15)) in nano-sized particles were synthesized by the chemically dissolved technique employing HNO3 as the dissolving agent. The structural and magnetic properties were investigated by using an x-ray diffraction (XRD) apparatus and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer, respectively. The XRD patterns of LCO and LSCO15 show the formation of the single phase without impurities after the calcinations in air at 1100°C for 15 h and the post-annealing in oxygen at 800 °C for 24 h. The average crystallite sizes of LCO and LSCO15 samples were in a range of around 100 nm confirming nano-sized particles. The LCO and LSCO15 nanoparticles exhibit superconductivity at the superconducting (SC) transition temperature, Tc, of 23 K and 38 K, respectively. The magnetization curve measurements have revealed that both samples show the appearance of ferro- and dia-magnetic behavior at room temperature and the appearance of superconductivity at low temperatures. This result may indicate the coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity below Tc in the nano-sized cuprates.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was synthesized via hydrothermal process under the assistance of citric acid, which exhibited high photocatalytic property in the application of methylene blue (MB) degradation. The flower ball microstructure of MoS2 changed with different amounts of citric acid. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra have been employed to characterize the samples. It improved the photocatalytic efficiency nearly 19.77% compared to MoS2 without citric acid. When H2O2 was added, the synergistic effect of MoS2 and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was observed in photocatalytic reaction system, which degraded MB completely within 40 min under visible light irradiation.

Lanthanum silicate oxides (LSOs) with modified mass target varied from 1 to 10 g were successfully synthesized using the hydrothermal method in a 100 mL autoclave. This research is aimed to study the structure, chemical stability, and magnetic properties of the LSO. From x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, the main peaks of LSO were observed in the sample with 1, 3, 5, and 7 g mass target while the LSO pattern did not match in the sample with 10 g mass target. The samples with low mass target resulted in better crystallinity. The chemical stabilities of the sample were then tested on LSCF perovskite cathode and showed good chemical stability with no reactivity on the cathode. The magnetic properties of the sample with 5 g mass target was measured at 100 to 300 K using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The trace of Neel temperature, TN, in LSO was not signified at this range of temperature in which referring a difference of LSO magnetic properties to the SOFC perovskite cathode. The TN of LSO was predicted below 100 K. This behavior suggested that LSO has good magnetic compatibility with the perovskite cathode.

In this paper, study the effects of magnetite nanomaterial Fe3O4 on the mechanical properties of epoxy. Dispersion of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the epoxy resin was performed by ultrasonication. The samples of the nanocomposites were prepared using the casting method. The nanocomposites contain epoxy resins as a matrix material incorporated by different weight percentages of magnetite Fe3O4 that varies from 0wt.% to 15wt.% as a reinforcing material. The epoxy with the additive reinforcement materials Fe3O4 was slowly mixed in a sonication bath for 15 minutes, then the mixture poured into silicon molds. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy FESEM and X-ray diffraction spectra XRD were used to characterize the morphological and structural properties of preparing samples and the distribution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles to the epoxy resin. Mechanical testing consists of tensile, hardness shore, and three-point flexural tests were performed on the samples at room temperature according to ASTM standards. The results showed that reinforcement by 15wt.% of Fe3O4 nanoparticles maximizes these mechanical properties of nanocomposites compared with pure epoxy except for the young modulus's preferred weight at 9 wt.%, this is due to aggregation of the additives nanomaterials in epoxy resin above 9 wt.%.
