Strontium hydroxyapatite powders was prepared by the hydrothermal method using Sr(NO3)2 and (NH4)2HPO4 as reagents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Transmission electron microscope, Energy dispersive X-ray, and Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis were employed to investigate the crystalline phase, chemical composition, morphology, and thermal stability of the Strontium hydroxyapatite. And the cytotoxicity of Strontium hydroxyapatite was analyzed through MTT assay. Results showed that Strontium hydroxyapatite prepared by hydrothermal Method has excellent crystal structure, good dispersion, high purity, and rod-like morphology with dimensions 200-500 nm in length and 20 nm in diameter. Meanwhile, the apatite has poor thermal stability. However, the apatite is cytocompatible and may have better biocompatibility, which can serve as strontium source incorporation into calcium phosphate cement and for bone repair.

ABSTRACTThe Nd-disilicide, which exists only in a tetragonal or an orthorhombic structure, cannot be grown epitaxially on a Si(111) substrate. However, by adding Y and using channeled ion beam synthesis, hexagonal Nd0.32Y0.68Si1.7 epilayers with lattice constant of aepi = 0.3915 nm and cepi = 0.4152 nm and with good crystalline quality (χmin of Nd and Y is 3.5% and 4.3 % respectively) are formed in a Si(111) substrate. This shows that the addition of Y to the Nd-Si system forces the latter into a hexagonal structure. The epilayer is stable up to 950 °C; annealing at 1000 °C results in partial transformation into other phases. The formation, the structure and the thermal stability of this ternary silicide have been studied using Rutherford backscattering/channeling, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.

A stable mesoporous multilamellar silica vesicle (MSV) was developed with a gallery pore size of about 14.0 nm. A simulative enzyme, hemoglobin (Hb), was immobilized on this newly developed MSV and a conventional mesoporous silica material SBA-15. The structures and the immobilization of Hb on the mesoporous supports were characterized with x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and so forth. MSV is a promising support for immobilizing Hb due to its large pore size and high Hb immobilization capacity (up to 522 mg/g) compared to SBA-15 (236 mg/g). Less than 5% Hb was leached from Hb/MSV at pH 6.0. The activity study indicated that the immobilized Hb retained most peroxidase activity compared to free Hb. Thermal stability of the immobilized Hb was improved by the proctetive environment of MSV and SBA-15. Such an Hb-mesoporous support with high Hb immobilization capacity, high activity, and enhanced thermal stability will be attractive for practical applications.

Beam Deposition

Tungsten/silicon multilayers with tungsten layers of a thickness of 1–2 nm were prepared by means of electron beam deposition. Their structure and thermal stability under rapid thermal annealing were investigated by a combination of x-ray diffraction techniques and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. The crystallization behavior was found to depend on the interdiffusion and mixing at the tungsten/silicon interfaces during deposition as well as during annealing. The as-deposited tungsten/silicon multilayers were amorphous and remained stable after annealing at 250 °C/40 s. Interdiffusion and crystallization occurred after annealing all samples from 500 °C/40 s up to 1000 °C/20 s. By performing the same heat treatment in the tungsten/silicon multilayers, the formation of body-centered cubic W was observed with a layer thickness ratio δW/δsi = 1, whereas tetragonal WSi2 was detected in tungsten/silicon multilayers with a layer thickness ratio of δw/δsi ∼0.25. This dependence of the crystallization products on the layer thickness ratio δw/δsi originates from the different phenomena of interdiffusion and mixing at the tungsten/silicon interfaces. The possible formation of bcc tungsten as a first stage of crystallization of tungsten-silicon amorphous phase, rich in tungsten, is discussed.

The rod-shaped polyaniline (PANI)-barium ferrite nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of BaFe12O19 nanoparticles with diameters of 60-80 nm. The composites obtained were characterized by infrared spectra (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal stability and the composition of the composites were investigated by TG-DTG analysis. The results indicate that the thermal stability of the composites is higher than that of the pure PANI which can be attributed to the interactions existed between PANI chains and ferrite particles.

AbstractThe thermal stability of strained Si on relaxed Si1−xGex structures annealed at 1000 °C was investigated using high-resolution x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Interdiffusion at the Si/Si1−xGex interface is negligible for annealing times <30 sec and is independent of the initial Si layer thickness and the composition of the Si1−xGex layer. In all cases the Si layers remained nearly fully strained, but a significant density of misfit dislocations was seen in layers that exceeded the critical thickness for dislocation glide. The Si layer thickness could be measured for layers as thin as 7 nm.

AbstractThe effect of Si addition on a quasicrystalline phase formation in Al-Cu-Fe-Si alloys prepared by mechanical alloying has been investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Two compositions containing 10 at.% of Si were selected to verify the influence of the e/a ratio on a sequence of phase formation during milling: Al58.5Cu18Fe13.5Si10 (e/a = 1.98) and Al53.5Cu19.5Fe17Si10 (e/a = 1.75). A quasicrystalline icosahedral phase (i-phase) was found in both alloys after 10 h of milling in the form of nano-quasicrystallites with the size of 10–20 nm. Addition of Si stabilized the quasicrystalline phase being dominant after prolonged milling time, contrary to the reference ternary Al65Cu20Fe15 powder, which apart of the quasicrystalline phase contained the cubic β-Al(Cu, Fe) phase. Thermal stability of the quasicrystalline phase in the powders milled for 10 h was examined after annealing at 800 °C for 4 h. The i-phase was preserved partially in Al53.5Cu19.5Fe17Si10 and reference Al65Cu20Fe15 powders (both with a ratio e/a = 1.75), which coexisted with β-Al(Cu, Fe) and Al13Fe4 phase or α-Al55Si7Cu25.5Fe12 and Al2Fe3Si3 phases in Al65Cu20Fe15 and Al53.5Cu19.5Fe17Si10, respectively. For the Al58.5Cu18Fe13.5Si10 powders (e/a = 1.98), the annealing led to complete transformation of the i-phase to the cubic α-Al55Si7Cu25.5Fe12.5 approximant, forming crystallites with a size of 100–300 nm.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of three different treatments on the morphology, microstructure, and the thermal characteristics of a montmorillonite (Mt) sample, by using hydrochloric acid (HCl), tributyl tetradecyl phosphonium chloride (TTPC) surfactant, and γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS). The resultant nanofillers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the amount of chemical grafting of the γ-MPS was increased after the acid treatment, whereas the amount of intercalation of the TTPC surfactant was decreased. The preintercalation of TTPC or silylation of γ-MPS, for the Mt sample, had a certain hindrance effect on its subsequent silylation or intercalation treatments. Furthermore, the effect of four different nanofillers on the thermal stability properties of the polystyrene (PS) matrix were also investigated. The results showed an increase in thermal stability for the triple-functionalized Mt, compared with the double-functionalized samples. The onset decomposition temperatures and the maximum mass loss temperatures of the PS nanocomposites were increased by 27 °C and 32 °C, respectively, by the incorporation of triple-modified Mt, as a result of the good exfoliation and dispersion of the nanolayers, more favorable polymer–nanofiller interaction, as well as the formation of a more remarkable tortuous pathway in the continuous matrix.

Bulk samples of pure Mg and Mg-Gd alloys were prepared by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The HPT made samples exhibit ultra fine grained (UFG) structure with grain size around 100 nm. Results of microstructure investigations of the UFG samples obtained by positron lifetime (PL) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are presented. In particular, lattice defects introduced by HPT were characterized. The data obtained at atomistic level are compared with macroscopic properties given by microhardness measurements.
