Series of glass samples with composition (72.5-x)TeO2-15MgO-10Na2O-2.5Nd2O3-xNiO where 1.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.5 mol% are prepared using melt quenching method. The glasses are characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD spectra confirmed the amorphous nature of prepared glasses. TEM images manifest the existence of NiO NPs which are homogeneously distributed in the glass matrix. The magnetization M(H) curve reveals that the glass displays an anomalous hysteresis behavior at room temperature. It is observed that M(H) is dependent on the NiO content. The initial curve of magnetization lies positively as a function of the magnetic field under 1000 H (O.e).

Bismuth-titanate ceramics containing SiO2 and Nd2O3 as additives are synthesized by melt quenching method in the system Bi2O3-TiO2-Nd2O3-SiO2 in the temperature range of 1250-1500 ?C. The phase composition of the obtained materials is determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Using scanning electron microscopy different microstructures are observed in the samples depending on the composition. Different values of conductivity, dielectric losses and relative permittivity are obtained depending on the composition. It is established that all investigated samples are dielectric materials with conductivity between 10-9 and 10-13 (??cm)-1 at room temperature, dielectric permittivity from 1000 to 3000 and dielectric losses tg? between 0.0002 and 0.1.

Erbium doped zinc borotellurite glasses were prepared by using melt-quenching method. The structural properties of the glass samples were determined by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) method and was confirmed its amorphous nature. The density and molar volume is shown to be increased with increasing content of erbium. The refractive index is found to be increased with increasing content of erbium.

ABSTRACTSilicon carbide nanotubes have been prepared and decorated with CoFe2O4 spinel. These nanocomposites were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of the dried SiC support with a stoichiometric aqueous solution of the cobalt and iron nitrates. After drying, subsequent annealing treatments were performed under air in the temperature range 873 to 1073 K. X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy reveal the presence of spinel nanoparticles at the surface of the tubes. Magnetic properties of the nanocomposites show in the magnetic field explored (up to 5 T) that saturation magnetization is not observed neither at room temperature nor at 5Kelvin. The nanometric character and the nature of the spinel particles are also confirmed by the coercive field (1.6 T) observed at low temperature and the curie temperature.

Tuning the physical properties of inorganic glass-ceramics through controlled doping of magnetic nanoparticles is topically challenging. A series of glass-ceramic having chemical composition 75P2O5-17MgO-(3-x)TiO2-5Li2O with x = 0 to 3 mol% containing nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared by melt quenching method (MQT) via heat treatment at 350 °C. The effect of NiO NPs on thermal and magnetization response are examined. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern confirm the amorphous nature of the samples. Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) measurement shows the decrement of glass stability from 327°C to 295°C with the increase of titanium dioxide (TiO2) contents which are glass seem to be unstable. Significant increase in the magnetization is evidenced with the increase of NiO nanoparticles from 1.5 mol% to 2 mol%. The improved physical properties of these glass-ceramics suggest their usefulness in photo-electronic.

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 the fabrication and microstructure of Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide glass containing β-GeS2 nanocrystals. A Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide base glass with the better crystalline ability is first fabricated by melt-quenching method, and a further careful thermal process has led to the formation of β-GeS2 nanocrystals in the glass. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the size of β-GeS2 nanocrystals with nearly monodisperse spherical shape ranges from 30 to 45 nm in the glass. Powder X-ray diffraction results confirm that the β-GeS2 nanocrystals are of high crystallization with orthorhombic phase. Energy dispersive spectroscopy is employed for the information of nanocrystals glass composition. It is worthwhile to note that the obtained Ge-Sb-S-CsCl chalcogenide glass containing β-GeS2 nanocrystals still keeps higher transmittance in mid- and far- infrared spectral region.

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.
