Chalcopyrite CuAlS 2 nanoparticles were synthesized with polyol method. The solvothermal with autoclave nanoparticles synthesized are investigated. The amount and temperature of reducer, the solvent of salts could be important parameters that were studied. The nanoparticles were synthesized with CuCl , AlCl 3 and thiourea ( SC ( NH 2)2) as precursors, diethylene glycol (( CH 2 CH 2 OH )2 O ) and polyethylene glycol 600 ( HO ( C 2 H 4 O )n H ) as solvent and capping agent respectively, and ammonia ( NH 4 OH ) as reducing agent. The parameters of synthesis were studied by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) for analysis of structure, scanning electron microscope (SEM) for morphology and by ultraviolet–visible (UV–VIS) spectrophotometer for analysis of light structure. The possible formation mechanism is also discussed.

Ultrafine fibers were electrospun from polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution as a precursor of carbon nanofibers. The effects of solution concentration, applied voltage and flow rate on preparation and morphologies of electrospun PAN fibers were investigated. Morphologies of the green fibers, stabilized fibers and carbonized fibers were compared by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The diameter of PAN nanofibers is about 450nm and the distribution of diameter is well-proportioned. Characterization of the elements changes of fibers were performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Znte Thin Films

Group II-VI compounds have been investigated largely in last two decades due to their interesting optoelectronic properties. ZnTe, a member of this family, possesses a bandgap around 2.26eV. This material is now a day investigated in thin film form due to its potential towards various viable applications. In this paper, the authors report their investigations on the preparation of ZnTe thin films using vacuum evaporation technique and their structural and optical characterizations. The structural characterization, carried out using an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique shows that ZnTe used in present case possesses a cubic structure. Using the same data, the micro strain and dislocation density were evaluated and found to be around 1.465×10-3lines-m2and 1.639×1015lines/m2respecctively. The optical characterization carried out in UV-VIS-NIR region reveals the fact that band gap of ZnTe is around 2.2eV in present case. In addition to this, it was observed that the value of bandgap decreases as the thickness of films increases. The direct transitions of the carries are involved in ZnTe. Using the data of UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy, the transmission coefficient and extinction coefficient were also calculated for ZnTe thin films. Besides, the variation of extinction coefficient with wavelength has also been discussed here.

The novel Y2O3 nanoflowers were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without using any catalyst or template. The phase composition and the microstructure of as-prepared products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The formation mechanism for the Y2O3 flowers has been proposed.

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.

This study investigates the effect of liquid gallium (Ga) on metal foils made of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and molybdenum (Mo). The Ti, Nb, and Mo foils were heated in liquid Ga at 120°C for a maximum of two weeks. After heating, the changes in the morphology and the chemical composition of the metal foils were analyzed by using a field emission scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The results of the analysis indicated that the Nb foil showed the minimum adhesion of liquid Ga to the surface while the maximum amount of liquid Ga was observed to adhere to the Ti foil. In addition, the Nb foil was oxidized and the Mo foil was reduced during the heating process. Considering these effects, we conclude that Mo may be used as an alternative encapsulation material for Ga in addition to Nb, which is used as the conventional encapsulation material, due to its chemical resistance against oxidation in hot liquid Ga.

In this paper, we reported on the X-ray photoemission electron microscope (XPEEM) determination of magnetic and luminescence origins for two Co x Zn 1-x O films. The cobalt fraction x of radio frequency co-sputtered samples were 0.86(2) and 0.92(2), respectively. Films were ferromagnetic and semiconductive. Unique narrow green color lines beside the ZnO intrinsic emissions were found with a decay time in microsecond range at room temperature. Origins of magnetic and luminescence properties were determined with XPEEM. The X-ray absorption near edge structure at the Co  L3-edge denoted that Co was partially oxidized, and phase-contrast images together with chemical composition identification further proved that Co and CoO co-existed in the samples. The ferromagnetism was attributed to ferromagnetism of Co clusters partially canceled by the antiferromagnetism of its oxide, and the photoluminescence to bound exciton in ZnO nanoclusters and defect related centers of ZnO nanoclusters in a Co -rich matrix. Present results show possibilities for adjusting magnetic and luminescence properties of Co – ZnO compounds by changing the cobalt concentration.
