For the purpose of improving the crystalline quality of undoped and Si doped β-Ga2O3 films, high temperature annealing at 900°C was performed. The crystalline quality of the films investigated using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Also the conductivity of the films is compared before and after the annealing. After the 900°C annealing, the XRD peaks intensity corresponding to β-Ga2O3 is increased. This result indicates that the crystalline quality improves by the high temperature annealing.

A porous titania (TiO2) coating with vermiform slots was prepared on the Ti substrate through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment using sodium tetraborate as electrolyte. Morphologies and phase structure were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Results show that the rutile phase increases and anatase decreases gradually with increasing MAO time. The electrolyte of sodium tetraborate has significant influence on the formation of vermiform coatings, which determine the corrosive patterning in the first stage during MAO processing. The evolution of vermiform morphology is proposed as followed: some corrosive pores appear on the surface before arcing; afterward, the adjacent micropores in the dense regions link each other due to the high temperature result from continuous arc action; then, the micropores grow up to big pits and combine with each other with increasing MAO treating time; finally, the vermiform morphology forms on the surface of Ti metal.

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.

Biomorphic TiO2 was prepared by high temperature pyrolysis and a modified sol-gel route. The morphology and microstructure of TiO2 samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The phase composition of the resulting sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction. The results suggest that the biomorphic TiO2 mainly consists of rutile TiO2, and replicates the shape and part microstructure of the carbon template.

This study is introducing a facile and novel method for synthesis of amorphous silica nanoparticles. Silica nanoparticles were synthesized by pyrolysis and combustion of high temperature vulcanization (HTV) silicone at 700 oC for 1 h. The products were investigated employing transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET) test and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The results indicated that the method is capable of synthesis of amorphous silica nanoparticles with sizes of mostly between 10 and 50 nm.

ABSTRACTCast Mo-Mo3Si intermetallic composites develop microcracks after annealing at high temperature. Neutron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, composition analysis, and scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize the structural changes induced by annealing of Mo-Mo3Si. It is shown that the observed cracking cannot be attributed to differential thermal stresses that developed on cooling from the annealing temperature. Instead, the experimental data suggest that the cracks were initiated at high temperature, possibly due to diffusion of Si atoms from supersaturated α-Mo to Mo3Si.

Mg films were prepared by magnetron sputtering on zirconia substrate. The surface morphology, structure and adhesion performance were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and automatic nano scratch tester, respectively. The results show that the Mg films deposited on the substrates at 50 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C are mainly of hexagonal phase with the crystal planes (002) in highly preferred orientation that is weaken with the substrate temperature increased. After annealed at 230 °C, the quality of thin film deposited on the substrate at 50 °C can be improved as crystallizability enhanced and grain size increased. The adhesion of Mg film increases firstly, and then decreases with increasing the substrate temperatures.

Spherical niobium powders were synthesized by (RF) argon plasma with irregular niobium powders in this paper. The objective of the present work was to investigate how the feeding rate influence the spheroidization efficiency. The phase composition, morphology and particle size distribution of the powders before and after spheroidization were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser micron sizer (LMS). The results show that niobium powders after plasma processing have good dispersity and smooth surfaces, and their spheroidization ratio is almost 100%. The apparent density and flowability of the powder with the spheroidization efficiency 100% is 4.35 g/cm3 and 12.51 s/(50g), respectively. With the increasing of the feeding rate, the spheroidization ratio of niobium powders drops gradually.

For preparing Mo-based composite materials enhanced by SiCf by powder metallurgy, the high temperature of chemical compatibility between SiCf and Mo was analyzed by experimental method in order to find whether the reinforcement can effectively composite with matrix for playing synergy effect. The mixture of SiCf and Mo powder was pressed and then sintered. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the fracture surface of the sintered body was observed. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD), the generation of new phase in the sintered body was analyzed. The sinter's density and hardness was tested also. The results are as follows. After 1750°C sintered, SiCf in the presence of metal Mo had decomposed and disappeared. Decomposed products which were C and Si had reacted with Mo to produce mainly compounds Mo5Si3, MoC and a small amount of MoSi2. The disappearance of the SiCf leave more holes in the substrate. Both density and hardness of the sinter are decreased.

From the aspect of their chemical and mineralogical composition, bauxites are very complex multicomponent raw materials. The paper presents the characterization of bauxite from several different deposits: Brazil, Milići, Čitluk and Kosovo. Chemical characteristics were determined by a combination of different analytical methods: gravimetry, potentiometric titration, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. Mineralogical composition was determined using X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis methods. Chemical and structural characterization is complemented by the results of scanning electron microscopy with EDX analysis. The information obtained was used for the assessment of the quality of investigated bauxites from the aspect of their application in the production of alumina.
