The magnetic MFe2O4 (M=Co, Ni) nanoparticles are synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis method in ethylene glycol (EG) solution. Their morphologies, structures, surface properties and magnetism are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectra, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The nickel ferrite and the cobalt ferrite samples are nearly spherical and homogeneous nanoparticles with average size range of about 90 nm (NiFe2O4) and 30 nm (CoFe2O4). XRD patterns confirm that the NiFe2O4 samples belong to the cubic structure and the CoFe2O4 samples are the rhombohedral structure. The NiFe2O4 nanoparticles are superparamagnetic at room temperature, while the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles are sub-ferromagnetic at room temperature and possess higher saturation magnetization.

In the present work, ZIF-8/6FDA-durene mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were synthesized and characterized. ZIF-8 nanocrystals, which were used as the inorganic filler, were synthesized using rapid room-temperature synthesis method whereas 6FDA-durene polyimide was synthesized by polycondensation method followed by chemical imidization. Pure and 6FDA-durene membranes loaded with 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt% of ZIF-8 were fabricated. The structural properties and morphology of the resultant membranes were characterized by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) . The EDX images showed that ZIF-8 particles agglomerated in the polymer matrix. However, no phase separation was observed for all resultant MMMs.

The superparamagnetic NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using a hydrothermal technology through P123 sphere micelles as ‘nanoreactor’ in this work. Their morphologies, structures, surface properties and magnetism were characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, and VSM, respectively. The nickel ferrite samples are nearly spherical and homogeneous nanoparticles with average size range of about 50-120 nm. They possess superparamagnetism at room temperature and higher saturation magnetization. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirms that the samples belong to the cubic crystal system with an inverse-spinel structure. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrum indicates that the NiFe2O4 nanoparticles are stabilized by the P123 adsorbed on the surface of nanoparticles.

We synthesized Fe3O4 microspheres using a solvothermal method and characterized their morphologies, structures, surface property and magnetism by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectra, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that the synthesized Fe3O4 microspheres with a tunable size range of ca. 80–200 nm are composed of many Fe3O4 collective nanoparticles. XRD pattern confirmed that the Fe3O4 microspheres belong to cubic structure. Magnetic investigation reveals that the Fe3O4 microspheres have higher saturation magnetization and negligible coercivity at room temperature.

We synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles using a solvent thermal method and characterized the morphologies, structures, surface properties, thermal stability and magnetism of the products by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The experimental results showed that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles have a tunable average size range from 55 nm to 85 nm. Their diameters decreased with increase of precursor FeCl24H2O concentration or increase of the reaction time under other reaction conditions held constant. The XRD pattern confirmed that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles belong to cubic structure. Magnetic investigation reveals that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles have higher saturation magnetization and negligible coercivity at room temperature.

Needle-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures was deposited on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by solution-immersion method and Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with diffferent RF powers, respectively on a glass substrate to synthesis nanocomposites of ZnO/TiO2. Field Emission Scanning Electrons Microscope (FESEM) images demonstrate that needle-like ZnO (112-1110 nm) are deposited on the surface of the TiO2nanoparticles with the diameter of approximately 36.3-62.9 nm. At 200 W, more needle-like ZnO with smallest average diameter (112 nm) appeared on the TiO2nanoparticles, which also has the smallest average size of 36.3 nm The compositions of elements in the nanocomposites were showed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX). All elements of Ti, O, and Zn are observed as major components which confirm the presence of TiO2and ZnO in the composite. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the nanocomposites show ZnO formed on TiO2nanoparticles are hexagonal with a wurtzite structure and it revealed ZnO/TiO2thin films were succesfully deposited as nanocomposites of ZnTiO3at 100 W,Zn2TiO4at 150 W and Zn2Ti3O8at 200 W and above.

Transition metal oxide-doped CCTO (CaCu3Ti4O12) ceramics were prepared by a conventional solgel synthesis method and the effects of pure CCTO and CCTO doped with Mn, Fe, Co, Ni to the crystal structure, microstructures and dielectrical properties of samples were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD analysis reveals that all samples exhibited multiphases with the pseudo-perovskite cubic CCTO phase with space group Im-3 as the main phase in undoped and doped CCTO samples. Peaks of monoclinic CuO and peroveskite CaTiO3 could also be seen in all samples which indicate that solid solution of CuO in CaTiO3 lattice was incomplete.SEM results show that doping effectively enhanced densification. SEM micrographs also suggested that the morphologies of doped CCTO ceramics had showed a matrix consisting of large grains wherein the small grains were embedded between the larger grains. Dielectric properties of pure and doped CCTO were investigated in a broad frequency range of the dielectric constant reached a value as high as εr = 29.4 at room temperature for CCTO doped with Ni at frequency (1000 Hz). Besides the sintering conditions, the microstructure and the dielectric properties of the CCTO are strongly influenced by type of doping elements.

LATP-based composite electrolytes were prepared by sintering the mixtures of LATP precursor and La2O3 nano-powder. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that La2O3 can react with LATP during sintering to form fine LaPO4 particles that are dispersed in the LATP matrix. The room temperature conductivity initially increases with La2O3 nano-powder addition showing the maximum of 0.69 mS∙cm−1 at 6 wt.%, above which, conductivity decreases with the introduction of La2O3. The activation energy of conductivity is not largely varied with the La2O3 content, suggesting that the conduction mechanism is essentially preserved despite LaPO4 dispersion. In comparison with the previously reported LATP-LLTO system, although some unidentified impurity slightly reduces the conductivity maximum, the fine dispersion of LaPO4 particles can be achieved in the LATP–La2O3 system.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

We report the growth and characterization of quaternary AlGaInN. A combination of photoluminescence (PL), high-resolution x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) characterizations enables us to explore the contours of constant- PL peak energy and lattice parameter as functions of the quaternary compositions. The observation of room temperature PL emission at 351nm (with 20% Al and 5% In) renders initial evidence that the quaternary could be used to provide confinement for GaInN (and possibly GaN). AlGaInN/GaInN MQW heterostructures have been grown; both XRD and PL measurements suggest the possibility of incorporating this quaternary into optoelectronic devices.
