This work presents the results of obtaining the sulfur nanoparticles, which can be used in agriculture as a fungicide. Sulfur nanoparticles were obtained by modifying the surface of sulfur using various surfactants including cetyltriammoniumbromide (CTAB), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfanate (SDBS) and Triton X-100 (TX-100). The size, crystal structure and morphology of sulfur nanoparticles were determined by methods as laser size analyzing (LSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the nanoparticles had a sulfur monoclinic β-form struture, and their average size was in the range of 1000-1500 nm.

In this study, the effect of bismuth content on the crystal structure and morphology of bismuth silicate ( BSO:Bi 4 Si 3 O 12) polycrystals were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM). BSO materials have been successfully prepared by the solid-state reaction. The BSO phase was crystallized at 950°C for 12 h. In summary, 10% of excess bismuth was found to be the optimum composition with respect to crystallization, morphology, and grain size.

BaBi4-xLaxTi4O15 (BBLT) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid phase sintering ceramics processing technology. The crystal structure and the microstructure were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD analyses show that La3+ ions doping did not change the crystal structure of BBT ceramics. The sintering temperature increased from 1120°C to 1150°C with increasing Lanthanum content from 0 to 0.5, but it widened the sintering temperature range from 20°C to 50°C and refined the grain size of the BBT ceramic. Additionally, polarization treatment was performed and finally piezoelectric property was measured. As a result, the piezoelectric constant d33 of the 0.1at.% doped BBLT ceramics reached its highest value about 22pc/N at polarizing electric field of 8kV/mm and polarizing temperature of 120°C for 30min.

Porous nanoflake ZnO has been successfully synthesized via a pyrolitic process of chemical bath deposition (CBD). The latter produced nanoflakes of Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6 as an intermediate product, which transformed to ZnO at 300°C. The microstructure has been investigated by surface morphology observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and crystal-structure analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD). A random structure of 40nm-thick flakes, grown perpendicularly on the substrate, has been obtained.

The effects of NiF2addition on the superconducting and transport properties of Bi1.4Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ(Bi-2223) were studied. Bi-2223 superconductor samples were prepared via conventional nitrate coprecipitation method, and 0.01 wt% - 0.05 wt% of NiF2nanoparticles with average size of 20 nm were added into the samples. The critical temperature (Tc) of each sample was measured by using the four-point probe method. Furthermore, phase formation and the microstructure of the samples were identified using x-ray diffraction method (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. The optimumTcwas observed for the sample with 0.04 wt% addition of NiF2. Results of electrical transport measurement are presented.

In this work, the crystal and surface structures of Y2O3 nanoparticles were explored. The exploration of crystal structure was carried out by X-ray diffraction method at room temperature and under normal conditions. It was found that the crystal structure of the Y2O3 compound has a cubic symmetry with an Ia-3 space group. The lattice parameters have the values: [Formula: see text] Å. The surface structure was studied at room temperature and under normal conditions on Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) microscope. It was found that the nanoparticles of the Y2O3 compound being in the range 20–40 nm are of [Formula: see text] nm size.

Crystalline barium cerate was synthesized by oxalate coprecipitation from nitrates of barium and cerium [1]. The oxalate precursor prepared by chemical methods was calcined at different temperatures up to 950°C. The barium cerate was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction investigation enables the determination of the phases that originate at different stages of synthesis and the crystal structure of final barium cerate, as well. From XRD patterns the average size of coherent regions was estimated by using Halder-Wagner method [2]. Both size and shape of crystallites were also studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that crystallites of barium cerate arise within the initial particles of the oxalate precursor.

2-Amino-3-hydroxypyridinium dioxido(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O2,N,O6)vanadate(V), (C5H7N2O)[V(C7H3NO4)O2] or [H(amino-3-OH-py)][VO2(dipic)], (I), was prepared by the reaction of VCl3with dipicolinic acid (dipicH2) and 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine (amino-3-OH-py) in water. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis, and consists of an anionic [VO2(dipic)]−complex and an H(amino-3-OH-py)+counter-cation. The VVion is five-coordinated by oneO,N,O′-tridentate dipic dianionic ligand and by two oxide ligands. Thermal decomposition of (I) in the presence of polyethylene glycol led to the formation of nanoparticles of V2O5. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the synthesized powder.

The porous hierarchical spherical CuInS2 microsturctures have been successfully fabricated through one-pot solvothermal technique. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results reveal that the shells of CuInS2 microspheres are composed of nanosheets or nanoparticles. The possible formation mechanism of CuInS2 porous microspheres is simply discussed.
