Microstructures of the Fe-29.6at%Pd alloy ribbons were observed with an X-ray diffractometer and a transmission electron microscope. The X-ray diffraction profiles at room temperature showed that the ribbon consists of FCT martensitic phase and FCC parent phase. Moreover, the ribbon exhibits a strongly 200-oriented texture analyzing with pole figure measurements. TEM bright field images for the cross section of the ribbon showed high-density striation in the FCT martensite variants. Twin-related two sets of reflections were observed in the SAED patterns taken of the FCT martensite variants. FCT was nearly parallel to the thickness direction according to the analysis of the SAED patterns. This result corresponds to the pole figure measurements.

Conventionally cast Fe-Al-C alloys are extremely brittle containing combinations of ferrite, carbide and other phases. Rapid solidification has the potential of altering the microstructure to subsequently change the resulting mechanical properties. An apparent conflict exist concerning the effect of rapid solidification on the resulting microstructure of these alloys. Inoue and co-workers, using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction analyses, reported the presence of several non-equilibrium phases including austenite (fcc - γ) and ordered austenite (Ll2-γ') structures on alloys containing 1.7 to 2.1 C and 6 to 12 Al in weight % (w/o) on melt spun ribbons 30 μm in thickness. Han and Choo, using x-ray diffraction analysis on 30-48 μm thick melt spun ribbons concluded that this ordered fee phase is rather an austenitic phase in which phase decomposition accompanied by sideband phenomenon had occured.Single roller melt spinning technique was used to make ribbons 35-70 μm thick and 0.5-5 mm wide. X-ray diffration analysis showed single phase austenite for samples 2-6 w/o AI and 2 w/o C. Samples with 8-10 w/o AI and 2 w/o C also showed several superlattice lines in addition to the fundamental fcc peaks.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals (NCs) were self-assembled and in-situ immobilized on the dithiocarbamate (DTCs)-functionalized polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) substrates between the organic (carbon disulfide diffused in n-hexane) –aqueous (ethylenediamine and Cd2+ dissolved in water) interface at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed the hexagonal structure of CdS nanocrystals. Morphological studies performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed the island-like structure of CdS nanocrystals on PET substrates, as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the stoichiometries of CdS nanocrystals. The optical properties of DTCs modified CdS nanocrystals were thoroughly investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The as-prepared DTCs present intrinsic hydrophobicity and strong affinity for CdS nanocrystals.

Fe-based colloids with a core/shell structure consisting of metallic iron and iron oxide were synthesized by a facile hot injection reaction of iron pentacarbonyl in a multi-surfactant mixture. The size of the colloidal particles was affected by the reaction temperature and the results demonstrated that their stability against complete oxidation related to their size. The crystal structure and the morphology were identified by powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, while the magnetic properties were studied at room temperature with a vibrating sample magnetometer. The injection temperature plays a very crucial role and higher temperatures enhance the stability and the resistance against oxidation. For the case of injection at 315 °C, the nanoparticles had around a 10 nm mean diameter and revealed 132 emu/g. Remarkably, a stable dispersion was created due to the colloids’ surface functionalization in a nonpolar solvent.

Novel single-crystalline SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized by chemical vapour deposition. Sn powder in a ceramic boat covered with Si plates was heated at 1100°C in a flowing argon atmosphere to get deposits on a Si wafers. The main part of deposits is SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). SEM observations reveal that the SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons are almost uniform, with lengths near to several hundred micrometers and have a good periodically tuned microstructure as the same zigzag angle and growth directions. Possible growth mechanism of these zigzag nanoribbons was discussed. A room temperature PL spectrum of the zigzag nanoribbons shows three peaks at 373nm, 421nm and 477nm.The novel zigzag microstructures will provide a new candidate for potential application.

nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was prepared from micro-crystalline cellulose (MCC) by strong acid hydrolysis. The characteristics of such particle were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Electro-rheological fluids (ERF) were prepared by dispersing NCC and MCC in methyl-silicone oil, and their ER effects were measured. Experimental results indicated that NCC ERF exhibited a remarkable ER effect. The highest static shearing stress of NCC ERF (3.5 g/ml) was 5.1 kPa at the room temperature under a 4 .2 kV/mm electric field, increased about 5.5 times compared to MCC ERF, and sedimentation of NCC ERF was not observed even after 60 days.

We report a new compression shearing method for the production of bulk amorphous materials. In this study, amorphous Nd–Fe–B melt-spun ribbons were successfully consolidated into bulk form at room temperature by the compression shearing method. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that the amorphous structure was well maintained in the bulk materials. The resultant bulk materials exhibited the same magnetic properties as the original amorphous Nd–Fe–B materials.

A chemical co-reduction route in aqueous solution was developed to synthesize Bi100−xSbx alloys at room temperature. The hydrolyses of Bi(III) and Sb(III) were effectively avoided by selecting proper raw materials and coordinator. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the as-prepared Bi100−xSbx alloys were homogeneous and phase-pure, and the Bi/Sb ratios in the alloys were very close to those in the aqueous solutions. The transmission electron microscope observation showed that the as-prepared Bi100−xSbx (x = 0∼100) alloys were particles with a size of tens of nanometers. The selected area electron diffraction patterns confirmed the high crystallinity, the homogeneousness, and the composition controllability of as-prepared alloys. All these characters and the nanometer-scaled size of the alloys are believed to be beneficial to the thermoelectric property of the Bi100−xSbx alloys.

Biodegradable fibers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) were prepared by melt spinning, followed by one-step-drawing with small crystal nuclei grown after isothermal crystallization near the glass transition temperature (Tg) and annealing at room temperature under tension. This new drawing technique is a very attractive method for obtaining flexible fibers from low-molecular-weight biopolyesters produced by recombinant bacteria. The ordered structure of PHBHHx fibers was investigated by tensile measurement, scanning electron microscopy, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The tensile strength of 10 times one-step-drawn fiber after isothermal crystallization increased to 100 MPa. The WAXD profiles of PHBHHx fibers showed sharp reflections corresponding to highly oriented α-form (21helix conformation) crystal.

The (In15Sb85)100-xBix films (x = 0~18.3) were deposited on nature oxidized Si wafer and glass substrate at room temperature by magnetron co-sputtering of Sb target and InBi composite target. The optical and thermal properties of the films were examined by reflectivity thermal analyzer. Microstructures of the films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. The crystallization activation energy of the (In15Sb85)100-xBix film (x = 0~18.3) was decreased with increasing Bi content, this indicated that the crystallization speed was improved by doping Bi. The structure of as-deposited (In15Sb85)100-xBix films was amorphous and it would transform to Sb, InSb, Bi, and BiIn2 coexisting phases after annealing at 250 °C for 30 min.

ABSTRACTSelf-annealing properties of electroplated and sputtered copper films at room temperature were investigated in this study, in particular, the effect of copper film thickness, electrolyte systems used, as well as their level of organic additives for electroplating. Real-time grain growth was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Sheet resistance and X-ray diffraction measurements further confirmed the recrystallization of the electroplated copper film with time. The recrystallization of electroplated films was then compared with that of sputtered copper films.
