(Pb0.925Ba0.075)TiO3 (PBT) ceramics have been prepared using a mixed oxide technique. The phase formation and morphology were studied in detail via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pure tetragonal perovskite structure was discovered with calcination temperatures above 800 oC. The percentage of perovskite phase and particle size tends to increase with the increasing of calcination temperatures. The PBT ceramics sintered at various temperatures belonged to a pure tetragonal perovskite phase. The average grain sizes increased from 0.90 to 6.44 µm with the increase of sintering temperatures from 1100 to 1200 oC. The highest density was obtained from the sample that sintered at 1150 and 1200 oC

Ordered titanate nanoribbon (TNR)/SnO2films were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process using hydrothermally prepared titanate nanoribbon as a precursor. The formation mechanism of ordered TNR film on the fluorine-doped SnO2coated (FTO) glass was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of calcination temperatures on the phase structure and photocatalytic activity of ordered TNR/SnO2films were investigated and discussed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the phase transformation of titanate to anatase occurs at 400°C and with increasing calcination temperature, the crystallization of anatase increases. At 600°C, the nanoribbon morphology still hold and the TiO2/SnO2film exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity due to the good crystallization, unique morphology, and efficient photogenerated charge carriers separation and transfer at the interface of TiO2and SnO2.

Composite of rice husk and asphalt silica was carried out at a ratio of 1: 0.7; 1: 0.8 and 1: 0.9 and heated at 150oC for 3 hours. The characteristics of the phase structure, microstructure, and functional groups were analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), physical properties analysis (density, porosity) and mechanics (compressive strength). The XRD results showed that the phase in asphalt silica composites detected amorphous carbon at 2θ = 18º and amorphous silica with the amorphous silica peak shifted from 2θ = 22º to 2θ = 20º. Microstructure analysis shows that cracks and clusters are bigger with grain sizes of 7,742 µm, 8,495 µm and 10,921 µm respectively, and the sample composition shows percentage of silicon (Si), Oxygen (O) and sodium (Na), respectively. decreases and the percentage of carbon (C), sulfur (S) increases. The results of FTIR show that the functional groups of Si-OH, Si-O-Si and Si-O bonds are decreasing and the functional groups of C-H bonds are increasing. The addition of asphalt causes the value of density increases, the value of porosity and compressive strength decreases.

The carburizing heat treatments of ultrafine-grained WC-Co composites with sub-stoichiometric carbon content were carried out, and the microstructures of ultrafine-grained WC-Co carbides before and after treated were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the functionally gradient ultrafine-grained WC-Co hardmetals with a Co depleted surface and not comprising the η-phase can be fabricated by carburizing heat treatment. After heat treatment, WC grain sizes in materials are still at the ultrafine grade.

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.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

AbstractWith exquisite design and unique style, the painted sculptures of Tutang Buddha and two attendants Buddha in Jingyin Temple are precious cultural heritages of China. The sculpture of Tutang Buddha, which was carved from a mound and painted by ancient craftsmen, was rarely found in ancient China. However, due to natural and human factors, the sculptures were severely damaged. Obviously, they require urgent and appropriate protection and restoration. In this study, samples taken from the sculptures were analysed through multiple analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and granulometry. The analysis results enable us to infer the techniques used by the craftsmen in making the sculptures and provide a reliable evidence for the conservation and future protection of these and similar sculptures.
