The two kinds of flower-like ultrafine cobalt particles were prepared by reducing cobalt chloride (CoCl2·6H2O) with hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O) under ultrasonic and microwave radiation, in which ethanol-water or ethylene glycol-water mixture was used as solvent. The morphology, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the as-prepared particles were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the petals of the flower-like cobalt particles prepared in the ethanol-water system were dendritic, while the petals of the flower-like cobalt particles prepared in the ethylene glycol-water system were sword-like. The crystal structure of cobalt particles prepared in the two kinds of systems both consisted of hexagonal close-packed cubic phase and face-centered cubic phase, but the relative content was different. The saturation magnetization of the cobalt particles with dendritic petals and the cobalt particles with sword-like petals was the same approximately, but their coercivity was greatly different (the difference in value about 7184.14Am-1), which might be attributed to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and shape anisotropy.

Effects of stacking faults in a high nitrogen face-centered-cubic phase (γΝ) formed on plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti (18-8 type) austenitic stainless steel on peak shift and peak asymmetry of x-ray diffraction were investigated based on Warren’s theory and Wagner’s method, respectively. The peak shift from peak position of the γΝ phase is ascribed to the deformation faults density α, while the peak asymmetry of the γΝ phase is characterized by deviation of the center of gravity of a peak from the peak maximum (Δ C.G.) due to the twin faults density β. The calculated peak positions of x-ray diffraction patterns are consistent with that measured for plasma source ion nitrided 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel.

AbstractThermal stability and failure mechanisms of Au/TiW(N)/Si and Au/TiW(N)/SiO2/Si systems have been studied by both conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X- ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. For films deposited in Ar gas containing 20% N2, a single face-centered-cubic phase was the only crystalline phase detected to form. The samples were found to remain stable after annealing at 700 °C for 30 min. The stability temperature for Au/TiW(N)(Ar:N2=80:20)/SiO2/Si samples was found to be higher than those of Au/TiW(N) (Ar:N2=90:10)/SiO2/Si and Au/TiW/SiO2/Si samples.

In this study, aiming to obtain high performance nanocatalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis, Co3Ni film composed of nanosheets with a mean thickness of 10 nm was fabricated by a magnetic field induced deposition process. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the as-prepared Co3Ni film is presented in both face-centered cubic phase and hexagonal close-packed phase. The nanostructured Co3Ni film catalyst showed good catalytic activity in the hydrolysis of NaBH4 and the rate constant was 5.77 mL·min-1. It was revealed that Co3Ni film catalysts didnt lose their catalytic original activity essentially after 10 cycles, which exhibited much improved reusability and stability compared with with recently reported nanocatalysts.

The artificial layering of metals can change both physical and structural characteristics from the bulk. The stabilization of polymorphic metallic phases can occur on a dimensional scale that ranges from single overgrowth layers to repetitive layering at the nanoscale. The sputter deposition of crystalline titanium on nickel, as both a single layer and in multilayer form, has produced a face-centered cubic phase of titanium. The atomic structure of the face-centered cubic titanium phase is examined using high resolution electron microscopy in combination with electron and x-ray diffraction.

The face-centered cubic phase π(Fe,Co,Ni,S) has been shown to exist, at room temperature, within wide composition limits in or close to the M9S8 section of the quaternary system Fe–Co–Ni–S. The M:S ratio of the binary phase π (Co,S) is 9:8 with very narrow homogeneity ranges on both sides of Co9S8, but in π (Fe,Co,Ni,S) the ratio is somewhat higher and appears to increase with decreasing cobalt content. Stoichiometric Co9S8 probably contains a small number of vacancies in both sublattices. It is quite lilcely that the sulphur sublattice is nearly fully occupied and that departures from stoichiometry are caused by the varying degree of occupancy of the metal sublattice.The crystal structure, which was proposed for Co9S8 and for the mineral pentlandite by Lindqvist etal., has been confirmed for these two substances and for π (Fe,Co,Ni,S) in general by X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. The present evidence does not support the crystal structure suggested for natural pentlandite by Eliseev; Eliseev's model does not, in fact, account for the diffraction data of any of the substances examined in this work.Replacement of cobalt in π (Co,S) by iron or nickel or both results in an expansion of the unit cell, the maximum increase in a(π) amounting to about 3%. Cobalt in π (Co,S) cannot be replaced completely by iron or by nickel in samples prepared by dry synthesis, but if the substitution is simultaneous, the π structure will be preserved over a considerable range of compositions even on total replacement. The stability limits of π (Fe,Ni,S) have been found somewhat wider than those stated by Lundqvist.In π phases with the compositions Co8MS8 the metal atoms can conceivably be present in ordered sublattices. This possibility was explored by neutron diffraction in slowly cooled Co8NiS8. Unlike in spinels, where nickel shows a strong preference for octahedral co-ordination, the cobalt and nickel atoms were found to be distributed at random.

FePt nanoparticles (NPS), ~2nm in diameter, were synthesized and then coated with silica (SiO2) shells ~1.5nm-thick using reverse micelles as nanoreactors. The silica-coated FePt core–shell (FePt @silica) NPS were characterized by direct techniques of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the silica shells prevented the aggregation in liquid comparing to their bare counterparts. The as-synthesized FePt@SiO2 NPS exhibited essential characteristics of superparamagnetic behavior, as investigated by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies proved that the annealing at 700 °C for 30min under argon atmosphere caused the crystal structure of FePt core to transform from disordered face centered cubic (fcc) to the chemically ordered L10 FePt with face-centered tetragonal (fct) structure. This phase transition caused the change of magnetic properties of the FePt@SiO2 particles from superparamagnetism to ferromagnetism.

ABSTRACTThin Co and Co based alloy films with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure have been epitaxially grown on single crystal Si wafers by sputter deposition. Epitaxial orientation relationships have been determined by x-ray diffraction, x-ray pole figure scans and TEM. Magnetic properties have been characterized using vibrating sampling magnetometer (VSM), torque magnetometer and BH loop tracer. Soft magnetic properties have been observed for the pure Co films.

AbstractSodium fullerides NanC60 (n = 2, 3) have been synthesized by a liquid phase reaction and investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance, and differential thermal analysis. XRD data indicate that the crystal structure of Na2C60 at 300 K is face centered cubic (FCC). A phase transition from primitive cubic to FCC crystal structure has been observed in this work in Na2C60 fulleride at 290 K. The transition is accompanied by the step-like change of paramagnetic susceptibility. The crystal structure of Na3C60 is more complicated than, and different from, what has been reported in the literature. A nearly seven-fold increase of paramagnetic susceptibility with increasing temperature has been observed in the Na3C60 fulleride at 240–260 K. In the same temperature range, a new line at about 255 ppm appears in the 23Na NMR spectrum, indicating a significant increase of electron density near the Na nucleus. The observed effect can be explained by a metal-insulator transition caused by a structural transition.

ABSTRACTNanostructured cobalt particles with and without a ceramic coating have been synthesized using a wet chemical method. The structure and magnetic properties of synthesized powder were characterized using x-ray diffraction (“XRD”), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (“HRTEM”), and a Quantum Design (SQUID) magnetometer. The cobalt nanoparticles are of either face-centered cubic (“fcc”) and/or hexagonally close-packed (“hcp”) crystalline structures. The average grain size is ∼14 nm for cobalt (either fcc or hcp) with an amorphous silica coating, and the average grain size is ∼9 nm for hcp cobalt and 26 nm for fcc cobalt without a silica coating. The effect of annealing temperature on grain size and magnetic properties are addressed.

Abstract The T phase in the Mn–Ni–Zn system was obtained as a product of high-temperature solid-state syntheses from the loaded composition of MnxNi2−xZn11 (x = 0.2–1.5)/MnxNi15.38−xZn84.62 (x = 1.54–11.54). The crystal structure of the T phase has been explored by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The structures were solved in the face-centered cubic space group F 4 ‾ 3 m $F‾{4}3m$ (216) and contain 409–410 atoms/unit cell. The lattice constants were found to be a = 18.1727(2) and 18.1954(1) Å for crystals C1 and C2, respectively. The crystal structure denoted the T phase is a (2aγ)3-superstructure of the ordinary cubic γ-brass-type phase. The phase is isostructural to (Fe, Ni)Zn6.5. A “cluster” description has been used to visualize the crystal structure of the title phase. The structures have been constructed by the five distinct clusters and they are situated about the high symmetry sites of the face-centered cubic lattice. The T phase is stabilized at a valance electron concentration of 1.78, which is slightly higher than those expected for typical γ-brass Hume‐Rothery compounds.
