BaTiO3 powder was synthesized from BaCO3 and TiO2 using a domestic microwave oven. The samples were synthesized under different temperatures with various holding times. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the phase compositions and morphologies of the result samples. The main phase obtained at 950°C was BaTiO3, and the intermediate phases Ba2TiO4 and Ba4TiO9 were also detected. The pure, well-crystallized BaTiO3 powder could be obtained at 1050°C within 10 minutes and the particle size ranged from 300~500nm. In comparison with conventional synthesis, faster speed and finer grains could be achieved through microwave heating.

Phase-pure Ba2Ti9O20 powders were made by doping 3 wt% of V2O5 to a Ba:Ti = 2:9 molar composition, and the effects of the dopant on the phase formation were investigated. The study shows that BaTiO3, BaTi2O5, and BaTi4O9 were the intermediate phases before the formation of Ba2Ti9O20 for samples with or without V2O5. However, with V2O5 doping, the temperature at which Ba2Ti9O20 occurred were lowered from 1150 to 1050 °C and single phase Ba2Ti9O20 powders was easily obtained at 1150 °C for 2 h. Microstructure of the powders was examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy. No evidence of V2O5–Ba2Ti9O20 solid-solution was found by x-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The benefit of V2O5 to facilitate the Ba2Ti9O20 synthesis is most probably due to a vanadium-containing eutectic liquid phase which accelerates the migration of reactant species.

The present work reports the results of structural and optical investigations in samples of natural dolomite, subjected to thermal treatment at different temperatures (500 ℃ to 700 ℃) and times (one up to three hours). The motivation is the evaluation of the changes that may occur in carbonaceous asteroids and meteorites, respectively, subjected to the action of the solar radiation and heated during the fall in the atmosphere. We carried out scanning electron microscopy, electron dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, optical reflectance and photoluminescence measurements

An investigation was made of the microstructural and electrical properties of SnO2-based varistors microwave sintered at 1200 ºC, applying a heating rate of 120 ºC/min and treatment times of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min. The system used in this study was (98.95-X) %SnO2.1.0%CoO.0.05%Cr2O3.X%Ta2O5, where X corresponds to 0.05 and 0.065 mol%. Sintering was carried out in a domestic microwave oven (2.45 GHz) fitted for lab use. Silicon carbide was placed in a refractory vessel to form a heating chamber surrounding the sample holder. The pellets were examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, direct current measurements and impedance spectroscopy. The parameters of density, medium grain size, coefficient of nonlinearity, breakdown electrical field, leakage current, and height and width of the potential barrier were analyzed.

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.

Superhydrophobic film was fabricated mainly by ethyl silicate (TEOS) and ethanol (EtOH) using sol-gel method. SiO2 gel and samples coated with SiO2 sol were calcined at different temperatures, and their morphology and composition were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that increasing calcining temperature appropriately improved the bond of nanoparticles of film successfully. Furthermore, there were only amorphous SiO2 and hydroxyl existing in the calcined film which would be benefit for the further modification.

Surface morphology and crystal structure of iron borate, FeBO3, annealed at different temperatures, have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The temperature range of structurally stability of iron borate has been determined. It has been established that in the range of temperatures 800–900°C recrystallization in the iron orthoborate Fe3BO6 phase, and more than 900°C − in α-Fe2O3 phase, occurs.

AbstractThin films of the Ti-W-O system grown by r.f. reactive sputtering from a Ti-W (10%–90% weight) target have been studied by Raman and microraman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with the aim to investigate their microstructural and morphological properties. To this purpose, the kinetics of structural transformations at different temperatures (600 °C, and 800 °C) have been studied, and the effect of Ti on the WO3 lattice has been singled out. The results show that annealing at different temperatures induces a microstructural evolution from the amorphous phase of the as-deposited thin film to WO3 crystalline phases via an intermediate cubic disordered phase of WO3. The effect of Ti on this cubic phase and on the thin film morphology is also investigated with the aid of microraman and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The results show that two distinct phases arise upon long annealing treatments; namely, small crystallites belonging to the WO3 monoclinic phase are dispersed on a layer composed of a disordered cubic WO3 phase with a high Ti content.

Abstract In this work, the preparation of anorthite based ceramics using a modified milling system and 80 wt% kaolin (DD2 type) and 20 wt% calcium oxide extracted from CaCO3 is shown. The choice of these raw materials was dictated by their natural abundance. Previous studies have shown that a simple and vibratory multidirectional milling system using a bimodal distribution of highly resistant ceramics can be successfully used for obtaining fine powders. The prepared samples were sintered at different temperatures ranging between 800 and 1100 °C. It has been found that the relative density of samples sintered at 900 °C for 1 h with a heating rate of 5 °C/min was about 96% of the theoretical density of anorthite (2.75 g/cm3). Finally, the prepared samples were also characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.

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.
