The structure and hardness of C60 bulk specimens compressed under 5.5 GPa at room temperature to 600 °C are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and micro-Vickers hardness tests. A strong accumulation of the [1 1 0]tr orientation of high-pressure-treated C60 specimens was developed along the compression axis, and stacking faults and nano-sized deformation twins were introduced into the C60 specimens compressed at 450–600 °C. Curved lattice planes indicating a polymerization of C60 were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The polymerization of the high-pressure-compressed C60 is also supported by the computer simulation of HRTEM images.

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.

Nanocrystalline N-doped and Ti-containing MCM-22 catalyst was synthesized by the static hydrothermal method, using sodium azide as nitrogen source for doping, and tetra-n-butyl titanate [Ti(OC4H9)4] as precursors of TiO2. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy.During liquid phase photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under high-pressure Hg arc lamp irradiation, the asprepared N-doped Ti-MCM-22 exhibited much higher activity than the undoped Ti-MCM-22, attributed to the effect of nitrogen dopant.

Resolution Study

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.
