The development of scientific and technological progress is impossible without the creation of new functional materials. One of the classes of such materials are hexagonal ferrites. Their unique physical properties make them an irreplaceable material for the production of high-frequency electronics. The widespread introduction of high-frequency electronics into everyday life, over the past decade, has generated great interest in hexagonal ferrites. The number of publications devoted to the synthesis of mono- and bisubstituted ferrites noticeably increases every year. Modification of the chemical composition of a ferrite by replacing some of the iron atoms with another element, without changing its structure, leads to a change in physical properties of the material. Variation of the final ferrite properties, by changing its chemical composition, is of interest and is promising for fine tuning the material properties for a specific task. The aim of the present work is to experimentally study the possibility of synthesizing ferrite with a magnetoplumbite structure, in which the iron atoms are partially replaced by the Al and Ti atoms. A review of the scientific literature on this issue showed the absence of publications on ferrites with such a set of substitute elements. The X-ray phase and structural analysis, electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used as research methods in the present study. The article offers the results of an experimental study of the possibility of obtaining bisubstituted M-type ferrite of the BaFe(11.5-x)Ti0.5AlxO19 composition, where x (Al) = 0.1, 0.5, 1. Solid-phase synthesis has been used as a method for preparing samples. This method is devoid of technological difficulties and is promising from the point of view of its scaling for the synthesis of ferrite. The samples have been sintered at three different temperatures: 1300, 1350, and 1400 °C. It is shown that in the temperature range 1300–1400 ° C the formation of monophase samples occurs. The calculation of the parameters of the crystal lattice has been made. The influence of temperature and concentration of a substituting element on the change in the parameters of the crystal lattice of the material has been revealed. The study by the electron microscopy method made it possible to reveal the presence of latent microporosity of the samples.

Three different modifications of manganese(IV) oxide, viz. cryptomelane, nsutite and todorokite-like, were synthesized by hydrothermal methods. The bulk chemical composition, phase composition, crystalline structure and particle morphology of the resulting materials were determined by thermogravimetry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The surface chemical composition, texture and structure were assessed using X-ray photoelectron microscopy, nitrogen sorptiometry and high-resolution electron microscopy. The results highlighted the hydrothermal conditions under which such tunnel-structured modifications of manganese(IV) oxide can be successfully synthesized. Moreover, they revealed that (i) the bulk was microcrystalline, (ii) the crystallites were either fibrils (cryptomelane and nsutite) or rod-like (todorokite) with low-index exposed facets, (iii) the surface chemical composition mostly reflected that of the bulk and (iv) the surface texture was linked with high specific areas, slit-shaped mesopores associated with particle interstices and micropores which allowed surface accessibility to the bulk tunnels of the test oxides. The application of such test oxides as shape-selective oxidation catalysts appears worthy of investigation.

Studies of zircon grains using optical microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been carried out to characterize the surface of natural zircon as a function of etching time. According to the surface characteristics observed using an optical microscope after etching, the zircon grains were classified as: (i) homogeneous; (ii) anomalous, and (iii) hybrid. Micro-Raman results showed that, as etching time increases, the crystal lattice is slightly altered for homogeneous grains, it is completely damaged for anomalous grains, and it is altered in some areas for hybrid grains. The SEM (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, EDS) results indicated that, independent of the grain types, where the crystallinity remains after etching, the chemical composition of zircon is approximately 33% SiO2:65% ZrO2 (standard natural zircon), and for areas where the grain does not have a crystalline structure, there are variations of ZrO2 and, mainly, SiO2. In addition, it is possible to observe a uniform surface density of fission tracks in grain areas where the determined crystal lattice and chemical composition are those of zircon. Regarding hybrid grains, we discuss whether the areas slightly altered by the chemical etching can be analyzed by the fission track method (FTM) or not. Results of zircon fission track and U-Pb dating show that hybrid and homogeneous grains can be used for dating, and not only homogeneous grains. More than 50 sedimentary samples from the Bauru Basin (southeast Brazil) were analyzed and show that only a small amount of grains are homogeneous (10%), questioning the validity of the rest of the grains for thermo-chronological evolution studies using zircon FTM dating.

The presence of the semi-permeable layer is determined in Roegneria nutans (Keng.) Keng, Achnatherum inebrians (Hance.) Keng, Hordeum vulgare var. nudum Hook. f., Triticale, Festuca sinensis Keng., and Bromus inermis Leyss. using the lanthanum nitrate tracer method, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. It was an amorphous membranous structure firmly attached on the external portion of the seed coat. The diversified chemical composition of the semi-permeable layer of the species studied is also analyzed by histochemical staining. R. nutans, A. inebrians, H. vulgare var. nudum, and Triticale were found to contain lipids in the semi-permeable layer. F. sinensis had pectin whereas B. inermis has cellulose in the said layer.

AbstractX-ray observations of young Planetary Nebulæ (PNe) have revealed diffuse emission in extended regions around both H-rich and H-deficient central stars. In order to also reproduce physical properties of H-deficient objects, we have, at first, extended our time-dependent radiation-hydrodynamic models with heat conduction for such conditions. Here we present some of the important physical concepts, which determine how and when a hot wind-blown bubble forms. In this study we have had to consider the, largely unknown, evolution of the CSPN, the slow (AGB) wind, the fast hot-CSPN wind, and the chemical composition. The main conclusion of our work is that heat conduction is needed to explain X-ray properties of wind-blown bubbles also in H-deficient objects.

Nonepitaxially grown FePt (x)/FePt:C thin films were synthesized, where FePt (x) (x=2, 5, 8, 11, 14 nm) layers were served as underlayers and FePt:C layer was nanocomposite with thickness of 5 nm. The effect of FePt underlayer on the ordering, orientation and magnetic properties of FePt:C thin films has been investigated by adjusting FePt underlayer thicknesses from 2 nm to 14 nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD), together with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that the desired L10 phase was formed and films were (001) textured with FePt underlayer thickness decreased less 5 nm. For 5 nm FePt:C nanocomposite thin film with 2 nm FePt underlayer, the coercivity was 8.2 KOe and the correlation length of FePt:C nanocomposite film was 67 nm. These results reveal that the better orientation and magnetic properties for FePt:C nanocomposite films can be tuned by decreasing FePt underlayer thickness.
