Superparamagnetic core/shell nanoparticles have been prepared successfully by the reduction of Au3+ onto the surface of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The core/shell nanoparticles were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction patterns (XRD), UV–vis spectrophotometer, Vibration Sample Magnetometer(VSM) and micro-confocal Raman system. The results revealed that the prepared core/shell nanoparticles were covered by Au shell. These superparamagnetic nanoparticles can be highly sensitively detected and afford new opportunities for biomedical applications through chemical bonding of bioactive molecules with the Au shell of nanoparticles.

AbstractWe have investigated the structure and chemical composition of nanoparticles synthesized by thermal decomposition of a mixture of iron oleate and manganese oleate in a high-boiling solvent in the presence of Na-oleate and oleic acid as surfactants by analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The particles appear core-shell like in bright field TEM images. Higher spatial resolution TEM (HRTEM) analysis reveals a FeO/MnO like structure in the core and a spinel like structure in the shell. With high-resolution analytical methods like energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), the distribution of the metals Mn and Fe was investigated. Differences in the oxidation state of these metals were found between the core and the shell region. The presence of sodium from the used surfactant (Na-oleate) on the surface of the particles has been proved.

Core Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%) plate-like nanoparticles (nanoplates), core/shell Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%)/LaF3 nanoplates, core Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%) sphere-like nanoparticles (nanospheres), and core/shell Pr3+ : LaF3 (CPr = 1%)/LaF3 nanospheres were synthesized via the coprecipitation method of synthesis. The nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy. The formation of the shell was proved by detecting the increase in physical sizes, sizes of coherent scattering regions, and luminescence lifetimes of core/shell NPs comparing with single core NPs. The average physical sizes of core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres were 62.2 ± 0.9, 74.7 ± 1.2, 13.8 ± 0.9 and 22.0 ± 1.2 nm, respectively. The formation of the NP shell led to increasing of effective luminescence lifetime τeff of the 3P0 state of Pr3+ ions for the core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres the values of τeff were 2.3, 3.6, 3.2, and 4.7 μsec, respectively (at 300 K). The values of absolute sensitivity Sa for fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) thermometry was 0.01 K−1 at 300 K for all the samples. The FIR sensitivity can be attributed to the fact that 3P1 and 3P0 states share their electronic populations according to the Boltzmann process. The values of Sa for lifetime thermometry for core nanoplates, core/shell nanoplates, core nanospheres, and core/shell nanospheres were (36.4 ± 3.1) · 10−4, (70.7 ± 5.9) · 10−4, (40.7 ± 2.6) · 10−4, and (68.8 ± 2.4) · 10−4 K−1, respectively.

The fabrication of gold-loaded magnetite/silica core-shell particles was presented in this paper. First, 250 nm of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by solvothermal reaction. Then, the Fe3O4 particles were coated by SiO2, and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs), respectively. The core-shell structure of these microspheres was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Power X-ray diffraction (XRD). The magnetic property of the core-shell microspheres was investigated at room temperature. The results indicated that the core-shell composites had a well-retained high magnetic intensity, thus it can be easily separated from the mixture in less than a few minutes by simply using a magnet.

In this work, we have synthesized homogeneous, ordered CdSe and CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) by chemical route and characterized them using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Coating with shell material was confirmed by red shift as well as enhancement in the PL peak compared to bare QDs. DLS data showed QDs and core/shell to be stable. PL spectra are red shifted relative to the excitation wavelength. Bare QDs and the core/shell material shows a Stoke-shift of 16 and 18 meV respectively.

We present an easy synthetic method for the fabrication of encapsulated nanosized semiconductor CdE [E [Formula: see text] S, Se and Te] within the core of carbon capsule. We also discuss the growth of CdSC and neat CdS nanocrystals on stainless steel coupons (SSC) by a reaction under autogenic pressure at elevated temperature (RAPET) technique. The thermal decomposition of mixture of Cd(acetate)2 and sulfur, selenium and tellurium was carried out at 750[Formula: see text]C under air for 3[Formula: see text]h. The synthesized products were systematically characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy. Carbon matrix, with an average diameter of 250[Formula: see text]nm, encapsulated several nanometric-sized CdS nanocrystals, as evidenced from high resolution SEM (HRSEM). We examined the optical properties of this core/shell CdS@C and nonencapsulated CdS nanocrystals and found that both core shell and neat CdS nanocrystals show emission in the pohotoluminescence (PL) spectrum.

AbstractWhen using bifunctional core@shell catalysts, the stability of both the shell and core–shell interface is crucial for catalytic applications. In the present study, we elucidate the stability of a CuO/ZnO/Al2O3@ZSM-5 core@shell material, used for one-stage synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas. The catalyst stability was studied in a hierarchical manner by complementary environmental transmission electron microscopy (ETEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) andin situhard X-ray ptychography with a specially designedin situcell. Both reductive activation and reoxidation were applied. The core–shell interface was found to be stable during reducing and oxidizing treatment at 250°C as observed by ETEM andin situX-ray ptychography, although strong changes occurred in the core on a 10 nm scale due to the reduction of copper oxide to metallic copper particles. At 350°C,in situX-ray ptychography indicated the occurrence of structural changes also on theµm scale, i.e. the core material and parts of the shell undergo restructuring. Nevertheless, the crucial core–shell interface required for full bifunctionality appeared to remain stable. This study demonstrates the potential of these correlativein situmicroscopy techniques for hierarchically designed catalysts.

The particles of TiO 2 core/ SnO 2 shell nanocomposite were prepared by hydrolysis of SnCl 4.5 H 2 O in the presence of titania nanoparticle after drying and calcinations treatments. TiO 2 particle were produced from titanium isopropoxide sol by hydrothermal processing. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the TiO 2/ SnO 2 core shell nanocomposites. The obtained results from XRD show that the SnO 2 nanoparticles coated on TiO 2 yields diffraction peaks correspond to the crystalline SnO 2 phase. Also, TEM results show that the nanocomposite particles have a spherical morphology and a narrow size distribution. The thickness of SnO 2 shell on the surface of TiO 2 particles were about 8 nm. Moreover, the results obtained from EDX analysis show that the core-shell structured nanocomposites have crystalline structure.

AbstractThe influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and ethylene glycol on the size and dispersion of indium oxide nanoparticles prepared under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. The precursor compound, indium hydroxide, obtained by the hydrothermal method in the absence as well as the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, was converted to indium oxide by sintering at 400°C. The formation of nanoscale indium oxide upon sintering was ascertained by the characteristic infrared adsorption bands and X-ray diffraction patterns of indium oxide. Transmission electron microscopy and band gap values confirmed that the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide facilitated the formation of indium oxide nanoparticles smaller in size and narrower in distribution than those prepared without the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
