Crystal structure of Zn0.96Al0.02Ga0.02O was analyzed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) technique and the microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results showed single phase and hexagonal structure a = b = 3.24982 Å, and c = 5.20661 Å. The SEM and TEM results showed the grain size of material arrangement changed after sintering and TEM diffraction pattern confirmed hexagonal crystal structure of Zn0.96Al0.02Ga0.02O after sintering.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) microtube has been fabricated by heating the mixture of ZnO and graphite powders in the atmosphere. The ZnO microtubes showed perfect hexagonal profiles with bell-mouth or normal hexagonal tops. Both X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the product was composed of ZnO with typical hexagonal structure grown predominantly along (002) direction. The growth process was interpreted by means of vaporliquid-solid mechanism combining with the evaporation of metallic zinc.

Polycrystalline ingots of CuInSe 2 and CuIn 3 Se 5 were synthesized by melt-quench technique starting from the stoichiometric mixture of constituent elements. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the single-phase nature of the materials. Compositional analysis by Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) showed that the compounds are near stoichiometric. Thin films of CuInSe 2 and CuIn 3 Se 5 were grown from pre-synthesized CuInSe 2 and CuIn 3 Se 5 powders. The films were polycrystalline, single-phase and near stoichiometric in nature, as indicated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and PIXE studies.

The Mg-12Gd-2Y-0.5Sm-0.5Sb-0.5Zr alloy was prepared under flux protection. The morphology and crystal structure of β′ precipitate phases in aged alloy has been studied using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The orientation relationship between β′ precipitate and matrix could existed as [ 010]BαB// [ 00]Bβ′B, (01 0) BαB// (020)Bβ′B and (0001)BαB was coherent with (001)Bβ′B; [0001]BαB// [001]Bβ′B, (1 00)BαB// (240)Bβ′B and ( 010)BαB was coherent with (0A_,8EEA0)Bβ′B. The HREM images indicated that the β' precipitates have a long-period ordered structure at the same time.

Helical structure ZnS were successfully prepared via solvothermal method by the reaction of zinc acetate and sodium sulphide. The composition, morphology, and microstructure of the sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and X-ray energy spectrum (EDS). The experiment results show that the sample is 1-D hexagonal crystal ZnS and grows along the [002] direction, and is helical structure, with lengths in the range of 100-200 nm, the diameter about 5-15 nm, and pitch about 20nm.

Single phase AlN nanowires are fabricated by a sublimation method. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), typical selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SEM and TEM images show that most of the nanowires have diameters of about 10–60 nm. The crystal structure of AlN nanowires revealed by XRD, SAED and HRTEM shows the AlN nanowires have a wurtzite structure.

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.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

Synthesis of a rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide with (110) face was investigated. The characterization was performed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements. The homogeneous rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide was obtained until 4.1 mol% of tin was substituted with lead. The surface of obtained oxide had a homogeneously lead-substituted (110) face.

A new ternary compound Cu2SnTi3 has been synthesized by vacuum sintering at 900 °C. The atomic structures of CaCu5- and InNi2-like Cu2SnTi3 are calculated using density functional theory methods. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and selected area diffraction (SAD) patterns of the new ternary compound Cu2SnTi3 are considered to verify the atomic structures of CaCu5- and InNi2-like Cu2SnTi3. The results reveal that the InNi2-like Cu2SnTi3 model has the lowest total energy of −35.239 eV, representing the trigonal crystal structure. The orthorhombic crystal structure of the CaCu5-like Cu2SnTi3 model has the second lowest total energy of −33.926 eV. Our theoretical X-ray diffraction peak profiles of InNi2-like (CaCu5-like) Cu2SnTi3 are nearly identical to experimental one, leading to an error below 2.0% (3.0%). In addition, the hexagonal crystal structure of the CaCu5-like Cu2SnTi3 model has the highest total energy of −33.094 eV. The stability of the Cu2SnTi3 in terms of energy follows the order: the trigonal, orthorhombic, and hexagonal crystal structure.
