In this paper, molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) nanoparticles were synthesized by rapid-microwave method using ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM) as a precursor in ethylene glycol (EG) solution with concentrated HNO3. This reaction was carried out in a short period of 30 min and the nanoparticles were then heat treated at 600°C. The structures ofthe products were  analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to record the morphology and nanoparticle size of MoO3. The Raman spectrum of MoO3 displays three well-defined peaks located at 989.2, 816.0 and 665.3 cm-1 which are the fingerprints of the orthorhombicα-MoO3 crystalline phase.

Abstract Shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure has been successfully synthesized from Ba(N03)2·4H20 and Na2MoO4·2H2O as starting materials in ethylene glycol solvent containing 20 mL 5 M NaOH by microwave radiation at 180 W for 30 min. The as- synthesized BaMoO4 product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photolumines­cence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD patterns revealed that the products was tetragonal BaMoO4 phase. SEM and TEM characteriza­tion showed that the product had a shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure. PL of the shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure showed a maximum emission at 466 nm excited by 280 nm wavelength.

Copper(I) chloride and bromide nanoparticle-dispersed glasses were prepared by means of a conventional copper staining. The staining was performed by the following process: copper stain was applied on the surfaces of Cl−- or Br−-ion-containing borosilicate glasses, and the glasses were heat-treated at 510 °C for various times. Typical exciton bands observed in the absorption spectra of the glasses after the heat treatment indicated that CuCl and CuBr particles were formed in the surface region of the glasses. The average sizes of the CuCl and CuBr particles in the glasses heat-treated for 48 h were estimated at 4.8 and 2.7 nm, respectively. The nanoparticles were also characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Depth profiles of Cu and CuBr concentration in the glass heat-treated for 48 h were measured. Copper decreased in concentration monotonously with depth, reaching up to 60 μm, while the CuBr concentration had a maximum at about 25 μm in depth.

ABSTRACTMolecular beam epitaxy was used to grow EuTe(x)/PbTe(y) short period superlattices with x=1-4 EuTe(111) monolayers alternating with y≈3x PbTe monolayers. The superlattices were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and high resolution x-ray diffraction. Regions with double periodicity were observed coexisting with areas of nominal periodicity. The sample with x=3.5 and y=9, for example, contains regions with double periodicity of x=7 and y=17. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the formation of the double periodicity in these samples by the appearance of weak satellites in between the satellites of the nominal periodicity. The double periodicity in the superlattice is believed to result from interdiffusion during the growth. A model for this process is presented.

A rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal method is reported for the synthesis of uniform CdSe nanorods in ethylenediamine (EDA) using CdCl2 and elemental Se as reactants. The resultant nanorods have a diameter of approximately 10 nm and a length of approximately 300 nm. Our experiments show that the concentrations of EDA and CdCl2 play important roles in product morphology. The well-dispersed CdSe nanorods with high aspect ratios were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL).

ABSTRACTThe effects of grain size on the phase transformations in nanocrystalline ZrO2-Al2O3 have been experimentally investigated. Compositions from 10 to 50 vol% Al2O3 in ZrO2 were obtained as a hydroxide gel. The powders were then calcined at 600 °C for 17 hours and heat treated at 1100 °C for 24 and 120 hours and at 1200 °C for 2 hours. The phase distribution and grain size were determined using x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The initial grain size after calcining was 8–17 nm. It was determined that the critical ZrO2 grain size to avoid the tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation on cooling from 1100 °C was between 17 and 25 nm. Samples containing 50% Al2O3 maintained a grain size below the critical size for all times and temperatures. The 30% Al2O3 samples showed the same behavior in all but one heat treatment. The remainder of the samples showed significant grain growth and at least partial transformation to the monoclinic phase.

We introduce a two-step hydrothermal and microwave method to prepare novel SnO2/MoS2 composites. The as-prepared samples are well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The experimental results indicate that the SnO2/MoS2 composites are composed of MoS2 nanosheets and ultrafine SnO2 nanoparticles with mean size of 3–4[Formula: see text]nm which are well-distributed and anchored on the surface of MoS2 nanosheets. The resultant composites demonstrate prominently improved electrochemical performances, which could be attributed to the unique and robust microstructures and synergetic effect between MoS2 and SnO2.

A sample of Ta2O5, ditantalum pentaoxide, heat-treated in a `toroid'-type high-pressure chamber at P = 8 GPa and T = 1470 K, was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Two high-pressure modifications of Ta2O5, isostructural with B-Nb2O5 and Z-Nb2O5, were identified from the X-ray powder pattern. Both structures were refined by the Rietveld method from the X-ray diffraction data: B-Ta2O5, a = 12.7853 (4), b = 4.8537 (1), c = 5.5276 (2) Å, β = 104.264 (2)°, V = 332.45 Å3, Z = 4, space group C2/c; Z-Ta2O5, a = 5.2252 (1), b = 4.6991 (1), c = 5.8534 (1) Å, β = 108.200 (2)°, V = 136.53 Å3, Z = 2, space group C2. The Z-Ta2O5 modification is new. The Ta atoms are six-coordinated in B-Ta2O5 and seven-coordinated in Z-Ta2O5. The two structures are closely related, which makes an intergrowth and a transformation between them possible. An idealized model of the intergrowth structure has been given. The HRTEM study showed defect-rich B-Ta2O5 crystals, which could be interpreted as an intergrowth between the B-Ta2O5 and Z-Ta2O5 phases.

Catalytic decomposition of acetylene was carried out at 400 °C using iron supported on sodium chloride as catalyst and the product was heat-treated at 650 °C under an argon atmosphere for 2 h directly. The sample was examined by scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that nano onion-like fullerenes encapsulating Fe cores with diameters in the range 20-50 nm were obtained.

This paper describes the effect of using different titanium precursors on the synthesis and physical properties of SrTiO3powders obtained by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction measurements, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were carried out to investigate the structural and optical properties of the SrTiO3spherical and cubelike-shaped particles. The appropriate choice of the titanium precursor allowed the control of morphological and photoluminescence (PL) properties of SrTiO3compound. The PL emission was more intense in SrTiO3samples composed of spherelike particles. This behavior was attributed to the existence of a lower amount of defects due to the uniformity of the spherical particles.
