Ultra-thin fibers of indium oxide (In2O3) were prepared by sol-gel processing and the electrospinning technique using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and indium nitrate as precursors. The fibers were characterized by the thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and room temperature photoluminescence spectra. It was observed that the In2O3 nanofibers exhibited photoluminescence peaks centered at 526 and 590 nm, corresponding to the defeat-related deep-level emission.

A new nanostructure, (2D) nanopetal of SnO2, has been grown on single silicon substrates by Au-Ag alloying catalyst assisted carbothermal evaporation of SnO2. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman are employed to identify the morphology and structure of the synthesized productions. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) is used to characterize the luminescence of SnO2 nanostructure. Three new peaks at 356, 450 and 489 nm in the measured photoluminescence spectra are observed, implying that more luminescence centers exist in SnO2 nanopetals due to nanocrystals and defects. The growth of the SnO2 nanopetals is discussed on the basis of the self-catalyst mechanism.

By sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique, ultrathin fibers of PVP/ ZnTiO3:Pb2+ composites were synthesized. After calcined of the fibers at 600°C, the spinel ZnTiO3:Pb2+ nanofibers, with a diameter of 100-200nm, were successfully obtained. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) were employed in the study. The results displayed that the morphology and crystalline phase of the fibers were greatly affecteded by the calcination temperature. The PL spectra of the samples measured at different excitation wavelength reveal a novel luminescent phenomenon in blue and green region, which can be attributed to the Pb2+-related charge-transfer transitions in ZnTiO3 nanofibers.

Ultrathin fibers of PVP/ZnTiO3 composite were prepared through sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique. After calcined of the above precursor fibers at 600°C, the spinel ZnTiO3 nanofibers, with a diameter of 50-150nm, were successfully obtained. The fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), respectively. The results displayeded that the morphology and crystalline phase of the fibers were largely influenced by the calcination temperature. The reported strategy will be useful for fabricating one-by-one continuous nanofibers, which are suitable for applications in catalysis, chemical sensors, nanoelectrodes, and nanodevices.

We report the synthesis of room temperature (RT) stabilized γ–Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) at the expense of metallic Bi NPs through annealing in an ambient atmosphere. RT stability of the metastable γ–Bi2O3 NPs is confirmed using synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. γ–Bi2O3 NPs exhibited a strong red-band emission peaking at ~701 nm, covering 81% integrated intensity of photoluminescence spectra. Our findings suggest that the RT stabilization and enhanced red-band emission of γ‒Bi2O3 is mediated by excess oxygen ion vacancies generated at the octahedral O(2) sites during the annealing process.

Zn2SiO4:Eu3+, Dy3+ phosphors have been prepared through the sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and ddifferential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), FT-IR spectra and photoluminescence spectra were used to characterize the resulting phosphors. The results of XRD indicated that the phosphors crystallized completely at 1000oC. In Zn2SiO4:Eu3+,Dy3+ phosphors, the Eu3+ and Dy3+ show their characteristic red(613nm, 5D0-7F2), blue (481nm, 4F9/2–6H15/2) and yellow (577nm, 4F9/2–6H13/2) emissions.

A ceramics sample of LiTaO3 was prepared using a sol-gel method. The sample is annealed at 750 °C for 48 hours. X-ray diffraction analysis indicate the formation of single phase, rhombohedral structure. An ac impedance study was used to analyse the conductivity of LiTaO3 at room temperature and at various temperatures.

Intense photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature from the polycrystalline SiC samples prepared from carbon-saturated Si melt at a temperature ranging from 1500 to 1650°C. Composition and structure of the samples have been confirmed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. PL measurements with 325 nm UV light excitation revealed that the room temperature PL spectrum of the samples consists of 3 luminescent bands, the peak energies of which are 2.38 eV, 2.77 eV and 3.06 eV, respectively. The 2.38 eV band is much stronger than the others. It is suggested that some extrinsic PL mechanisms associated with defect or interface states would be responsible to the intensive PL observed at room temperature.

AbstractZnO nano-tubes (ZNTs) have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal-etching method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and room temperature photoluminescence measurement. The as-synthesized ZNTs have a diameter of 500 nm, wall thickness of 20–30 nm, and length of 5 µm. Intensity of the plane (0002) diffraction peak, compared with that of plane (10$$ \bar 1 $$0) of ZNTs, is obviously lower than that of ZnO nano-rods. This phenomenon can be caused by the smaller cross section of plane (0002) of the nano-tubes compared with that of other morphologies. On basis of the morphological analysis, the formation process of nano-tubes can be proposed in two stages: hydrothermal growth and reaction etching process.

Manganese oxides are of more interest to researchers because of their ability as catalysts and lithium batteries. In this research, MnO2nanowires with diameter about 45 nm were synthesized by sol–gel method at room temperature (RT). Effect of increasing the annealing temperature from 400[Formula: see text]C to 600[Formula: see text]C on crystalline structure of nanostructure were studied and average crystallite size was estimated about 22 nm. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) method, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the nanowires of MnO2.
