Carbon Nanosphere (CNs) has been successfully synthesized from bamboo fibers at low temperatures by carbonization and activation. For activation used Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) at temperature 105°C, 155°C, 205°C, 255°C and 305°C. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectra shows hexagonal and amorphous phase and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra shows decrease C-O bond with increasing activation temperature. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) image for activation temperature of 105°C confirmed that sources the formation of Carbon Nanosphere. In this study shows bamboo fiber has a high potential as a carbon nanosphere material.

YVO4 nanoparticles with various morphologies were tuned directly by hydrothermal treatment in different solutions, including pure water, potassium hydroxide solution, hydrazine hydrate, ethanolamine, triethylamine, and pyridine. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to characterize the structure, morphology, and size of the products, which indicated that tetragonal phase YVO4 crystallites displaying rod-like, square, and olivary shapes were obtained. It was found that the selected solvents play an important role in modulating the morphology and confining the size of the obtained products.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Chert samples from different coastal and inland outcrops in the Eastern Asturias (Spain) were mineralogically investigated for the first time for archaeological purposes. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy and total organic carbon techniques were used. The low content of moganite, since its detection by X-ray diffraction is practically imperceptible, and the crystallite size (over 1000 Å) of the quartz in these cherts would be indicative of its maturity and could potentially be used for dating chert-tools recovered from archaeological sites. Also, this information can constitute essential data to differentiate the cherts and compare them with those used in archaeological tools. However, neither composition nor crystallite size would allow distinguishing between coastal and inland chert outcrops belonging to the same geological formations.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.
