Thin Mn2(NO3)2/PVA precursor nanowire was fabricated via electrospinning technology at a low temperature in this paper. After dried at 150°C for 10 hours and then sintered at 450°C for 2 hours, Mn2O3 nanowire was successfully obtained. The nanowire was characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the nanowire was composed of pure Mn2O3 phase. The nanowire exhibited smooth surface and continuous sharp with length of tens of micrometer. The diameter of Mn2O3 nanowire was measured and calculated through SEM, which showed most probable value of about 110 nm and 270 nm. The reason of the diameter separation was also discussed.

Magnesium nitrate was used as additive for synthesis of Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanoparticles at low temperature (70°C). Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles have platelet-like structure and approximately 40-60nm in thicknesses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase. The supersaturation degree of solution effects the size and morphology of MH nanoparticles.

Thin SiO2ZrO2films were prepared, up to 0.2 μm thick, by means of the sol–gel technology and characterized by a Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is shown the presence of monoclinic, cubic and tetragonal phases of ZrO2in the SiO2matrix. The crystallites sizes depend on the annealing temperature of the film and amount to 35 and 56 nm for the films annealed at 773 and 973 K, respectively. The films resistance is rather sensitive to the presence of NO2and O3impurity in air at lower operating temperatures in the range of 30-60°C.

AbstractA low temperature metal-organic decomposition process for depositing LiNbO3 thin films on diamond/Si(100) substrates is reported. X-ray diffraction studies show that the films are highly textured polycrystalline LiNbO3 with a (012) orientation. Scanning electron microscopy analyses reveal that the LiNbO3 thin films have dense, smooth surface without cracks and pores, and adhere very well to the diamond substrates. The grain size in the LiNbO3 thin films is in the range of ∼0.2-0.5 μm. The effect of the processing procedures on the surface morphology of the LiNbO3 films is investigated. Possible reasons for the elimination of microcracks in the LiNbO3 films are discussed.

Calcium carbonate whiskers were successfully prepared in the MgC12-Ca(OH)2-CO2 system by a intermittent bubbling method and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that aragonite style calcium carbonate whiskers with well morphology, large aspect ratio and smooth surface can be obtained by controlling technical conditions such as reaction temperature, concentration of Ca(OH)2 and amount of additives and under the conditions of CO2 flow velocity of 3.4ml/min/gCa(OH)2, flow of CO2 to air ratio of 1:4, stirring speed of 240 r/min.

Effects of plasma nitriding on low temperature salt-bath chromizing of W18Cr4V steel is studied .The chromizing process is investigated by means of optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results show that the specimens are chromized successfully by low temperature salt-bath subjected to plasma nitriding. A chromized layer with average 3.3μm in thickness and 1200HV-1300HV in microhardness is formed on the substrate by chromizing at 610°C for 6h. XRD analysis show that the chromized layer is composed of Cr23C6, CrN, Cr/Fe, (Cr, Fe)7C3 , (Cr, Fe)2N and the surface chromium concentration reaches 77.67%.

Mg(OH)2 (MH) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydration of the light-burned MgO at low temperature (70°C) with the additive of magnesium acetate. Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles have platelet-like structure and approximately 20-40 nm in thicknesses. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were applied to characterize the crystal phase, size distribution and morphology of the crystal particles. The effect mechanism of magnesium acetate was proposed

Herein, the post-mortem study on 16 Ah graphite//LiFePO4 pouch cells is reported. Aiming to understand their failure mechanism, taking place when cycling at low temperature, the analysis of the cell components taken from different portions of the stacks and from different positions in the electrodes, is performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Also, the recovered electrodes are used to reassemble half-cells for further cycle tests. The combination of the several techniques detects an inhomogeneous ageing of the electrodes along the stack and from the center to the edge of the electrode, most probably due to differences in the pressure experienced by the electrodes. Interestingly, XPS reveals that more electrolyte decomposition took place at the edge of the electrodes and at the outer part of the cell stack independently of the ageing conditions. Finally, the use of high cycling currents buffers the low temperature detrimental effects, resulting in longer cycle life and less inhomogeneities.

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.

Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.
