The technologies of synthesizing Ni-S powders from 0.001 mol NiCl2•6H2O and 0.001 mol sulfur (S) powder were investigated at 95,105,120,140 and 160 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the Ni-S powders prepared at 120~160 °C from NiCl2•6H2O and S powder have the same major phase NiS. These products have flakes or unregular shape grains with sizes of 100~200nm. However, the product powder prepared at 105 °C has the major phase Ni3S2 without obvious impurity phases and only grains with size less than 200nm. No Nickel sulfides can be synthesized at 95 °C under the experimental conditions. It can be found that the NiS phase appears in the products powders obtained at higher temperatures while Ni3S2 obtained at lower temperature.

Cu-In-2Se powders were synthesized by hydrothermal co-reduction method from CuCl2.2H2O, InCl3.4H2O and SeO2 at 95~200 °C in deionized water. The morphology and phases of the products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. Experimental results show that, CuInSe2 can be obtained at 120~200 °C, the major phase of the products synthesized at 120~200 °C are all the same. However the noticeable impurity phase In(OH)3 still exists in the product powders. The In(OH)3 phase decreases with the increasing of reacting temperature. The product powder obtained at 200 °C has fine and homogeneous particles with diameters of about 500 nm.

The nickel sulfides of NiS and NiS2 have been synthesized successfully at 180 °C and 160 °C by hydrothermal method from NiCl2•6H2O, S powder and NaOH. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the major phase of the powder product obtained at 180 °C is NiS2. The Ni-S powder obtained at 180 °C shows granular and hexagonal shapes with sizes of about 200~300 nm. The product powder obtained at 160 °C has the major phase NiS and minor phase NiS2. The morphology of this product was regular hexagonal flakes with side-length 200nm.

Cu-Se compound powders are synthesized by hydrothermal co-reduction from CuSO4•5H2O and SeO2 in deionized water at 120~200 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the CuSe phase can be synthesized at 120,150,180 and 200 °C, however, the purity phases become more with the temperature decreasing. It indicates that the reaction is more incomplete at lower temperature. Hexagonal flakes with side length 100~400 nm can be observed in the products at 150,180 and 200 °C, among which only the product prepared at 180 °C has the hexagonal flakes with good dispersity and homogeneous size with 200 nm length.

The Fe-Se powders have been prepared by hydrothermal method at temperatures of 160, 180 and 200 °C from FeCl3•6H2O and SeO2. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the major phases of these product powders are all FeSe2, the impurity phase Se can be identified in spite of poor crystallinity of all samples. The poor crystallinity becomes seriously at lower synthesizing temperature under the experimental conditions. These product powders consist of grains, rods or flakes with sizes of 20~300nm, among which the product obtained at 180 °C has the smallest size of 20~40 nm.

Ni-Se powders synthesized by hydrothermal co-reduction method from NiCl2.6H2O and SeO2 at 95~220 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, Ni0.85Se can be synthesized at 95~220 °C while noticeable impurities appeared at lower reaction temperatures. The products with single-phase Ni0.85Se obtained at 200 and 220 °C show hollow sphere structures with diameters of about 150 ~ 700 nm, which have complete and regular shape but no holes.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.
