Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is commonly used as a starting template for fabrication of several kinds of functional nanoscale devices due to its homogeneous nanohole structure with high aspect ratio. In this paper, high density and uniform titanium dioxide nanotube array films were prepared via liquid phase deposition method by immersing the AAO templates in an aqueous ammonium hexafluorotitanate solution. The phase and microstructure of the nanotube array films were characterized by X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the mean inner diameters of nanotube are 40-100 nm, mainly depended on different templates and post treatment condition; the phase of as-deposited TiO2 array film was amorphous, while it became anatase at above 400°C.

Uniform Y2O3:Tb3+nanowires with diameters of about 70 nm were fabricated using the anodic aluminum oxide template (AAO). The Y2O3:Tb3+nanowires and Y2O3:Tb3+/AAO composite were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and spectrofluorometer techniques. The Y2O3:Tb3+nanowires are amorphous phase in symmetry as the annealing temperature was lower than 1000 °C. And the cubic Y2O3: Tb3+nanowires were formed partly as the annealing temperature approached to 1000 °C. The spectral measurements indicate that the excitation and emission intensity increased with the increasing annealing temperature as well as annealing time. The lifetime of5D4-7F5transition becomes longer with the increasing annealing temperature and time in Y2O3:Tb3+/AAO composite.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

In this paper, the effects of briquetting pressure on the performance of in-situ formed Sialon in Al2O3-C refractory bricks are investigated. The phase compositions and microstructure of the Al2O3-C refractory were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).The results show the briquetting pressure hardly has effect on the phase of the sintered specimens, two new phases of Sialon with a Z value of 2 and SiC formed. The micrographs of Sialon crystals have the shape of both column and tabular column, but with a cone tip in the specimens sintered at 200MPa and 300MPa and smooth tip in specimens sintered at 400MPa and 500MPa.

Indium nanowires with diameters approximately 300 nm have been synthesized by a hydraulic pressure technique using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The indium melt is injected into the AAO template and solidified to form nanostructures. The nanowires are dense, continuous and uniformly run through the entire ∼60 μm thickness of the AAO template. X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that the nanowires are polycrystalline with a preferred orientation. SEM is performed to characterize the morphology of the nanowires.

The PANI/ITO conducting nanocomposites have been synthesized by in-situ polymerization. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared. Electrical conductivity measurements on the samples pressed into pellets showed that the maximum conductivity attained 2.0 ± 0.05 S/cm for PANI/ITO nanocomposites, at ITO doping concentration of 10 wt%. The results of the present work may provide a simple, rapid and efficient approach for preparing PANI/ITO nanocomposites.

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The morphology of MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst and PE/MMT nanocomposites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It can be seen that MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst remained the original MMT sheet structures and many holes were found in MMT and the morphology of PE/MMT nanocomposites is part of the sheet in the form of existence, as most of the petal structure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to characterize all the samples. XRD results reveal that the original basal reflection peak of PEI1 and PEI2 disappears completely and that of PEI3 become very weak. MMT/MgCl2/TiCl4 catalyst was finely dispersed in the PE matrix. Instead of being individually dispersed, most layers were found in thin stacks comprising several swollen layers.

Star-like CuO with submicrometer sizes was fabricated via a simple liquid-phase deposition with the assistant of PVP and Na2MoO4. The as-prepared CuO have been characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the as-prepared CuO owned monoclinic structure, the concentrations of PVP, Na2MoO4 and NaOH are very important to the morphology of CuO. The quality of PVP impacts the formation of thin flakes on the skeletons. Meanwhile, the growth of dendritic skeletons was depended on the addition of Na2MoO4, and the effect of NaOH is to control the dimension of CuO structure.

TiAl/Ti2AlC in situ composite was successfully fabricated by hot-press-assisted reaction process from the mixture of Ti, Al and carbon black. The phase formation and transformation were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology characteristics were also studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that when the mixed powders were hot pressed at 1300 °C for 1 h, full dense and highly pure TiAl/Ti2AlC composite was synthesized. The TiAl was the matrix phase and the in situ synthesized Ti2AlC was reinforcing phase. The reaction process was also discussed.

An innovative spray deposition technique has been applied to produce in situ TiB2/Zn-30Al-1Cu composites. The microstructures of the spray-deposited composite were studied using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Both theoretical and experimental results have shown that the TiB2particulates are formed in the microstructure. It was found that the TiB2particles were distributed in Zn-30Al-1Cu matrix uniformly, and the TiB2particles are about 2 μm in size. Moreover, the presence of the TiB2particles was led to increasing of α’ phase with less 2 μm size in the composites which have a tendency to decompose to α+η structure.
