Spindle-like CdS structures were successfully synthesized via a simple one-step solvothermal process. The as-prepared products were characterization by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). By discussing the captive indimediates, the formation process of the spindle-like CdS structure was proposed as the splitting and the Oswald growth mechanism. The optical property of the as-prepared CdS showed obvious blue shift relative to the bulk CdS materials.

Hairball-like bismuth trisulphide microcrystallines has been successfully prepared via one step solvothermal process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques. The morphologies of the Bi2S3 microcrystallines were influenced by reaction time, temperature, the mole ratio of the reactants and concentration of starting materials, and the growth process has been proposed. The electrochemical behavior of Bi2S3 was investigated using the cyclic voltammetry.

Birnessite-MnO2 nanoflakes were synthesized via an aqueous oxidation method at 90 °C using Mn(CH3COO)2, NaOH, and KMnO4. The samples’ morphology, crystalline structure, and optical property were determined by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The birnessite-MnO2 nanoflakes were converted to KxMn8O16 and Mn suboxides following a decrease in the concentration of KMnO4 in the reaction. The amount of NaOH in the reaction determined the type of precursor. Without NaOH, the precursor was converted from Mn(OH)2 to Mn2+ (from Mn(CH3COO)2), thereby enabling the synthesis of birnessite-MnO2 nanoflowers. The formation mechanism of birnessite-MnO2 nanoflowers and nanoflakes was clarified via the corresponding simulated crystal structures. Evaluation of the synthesized samples confirmed that the birnessite-MnO2 nanoflakes and nanoflowers exhibited excellent degradation properties.

A one-step carbon thermal method was used to prepare LiFePO4/C particles by using normal Fe2O3, LiH2PO4and sucrose as raw materials. The effect of H2content in the sintering atmosphere of N2on the morphology and the electrochemical performance were investigated. LiFePO4/C materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and the elemental analyzer. The results show that the precursor sintering under the atmosphere of 8%H2+N2exhibits the highest electrochemical capacity (162.3 mAh/g at 0.1C) .

We report the controlled synthesis of dumbbell shaped ZnO micro/nanostructures using anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) by simple one-step hydrothermal method. The morphology changes of ZnO were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. It is found that the size of the dumbbell increased with increase in concentration of SDS. Systematic growth mechanism with increase of concentration of SDS polymer is studied. Our results will help in the growing face selective ZnO for many functional applications.

3D flower-like bismuth trisulphide microcrystallines has been successfully prepared via one step hydrothermal process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and laser Raman spectrometer techniques. The morphologies of the Bi2S3 microcrystallines were influenced by the surfactant Na2(EDTA), which acts as a structure directing agent.

This paper describes a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of rod-shaped HgTe nanocrystals (NCs). X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transition electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) have been used to characterize the HgTe NCs. The length, diameter, surface roughness and the aspect ratio of the HgTe nanorods are well controlled through Te precursor, reaction time and reductant.

The formulation of macromolecular blends on the basis of polyimides using one step catalytic polycyclocondensation is reported. Polymers with active functional groups (polyacrylamide, polycaproamide) have been suggested as catalysts for the reaction of alicyclic dianhydrides with aromatic diamines in protolytic medium. Films made from macromolecular blends of synthesized polymers have been investigated by X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. It has been shown that single step formation of polyimide on the polymer matrix presents the possibility to prepare thin structured disperse blends in comparison with simple mixing of homopolymers.

Mn2+, Co2+, or Ni2+monodoped CdS (or ZnS) and Mn2+-Co2+-Ni2+tridoped CdS (or ZnS) have been successfully synthesized by novel one-step thermolysis method using thiourea as a sulphur source. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that the average diameter and morphology of the synthesized samples varied with the nature of dopant ion. The successful doping of Mn2+-Co2+-Ni2+tridoped ions into the host CdS (or ZnS) was proved by the EDX spectra. The luminescence of CdS is only enhanced when monodoped with Mn2+whereas it is enhanced when ZnS is either monodoped with Mn2+, Co2+, or Ni2+or tridoped with Mn2+-Co2+-Ni2+. The synthesized samples could therefore offer opportunities for further fundamental research and technological applications.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

During hibernation the ground squirrel is immobile, body temperature reduced and metabolism depressed. Hibernation has been shown to affect dental tissues varying degrees, although not much work has been done in this area. In limited studies, it has been shown that hibernation results in (1) mobilization of bone minerals; (2) deficient dentinogenesis and degeneration of alveolar bone; (3) presence of calculus and tears in the cementum; and (4) aggrevation of caries and pulpal and apical tooth abscesses. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of hibernation on dental tissues employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related x-ray analyses.
