ABSTRACTCarbonate intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (Mg-Al-CO3-LDH) were successfully produced by mechanical alloying process using different starting raw chemicals. Two distinct chemical reactions were activated at different milling times. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results revealed that the structural characteristics of Mg-Al-CO3-LDH such as lattice parameters, unit cell volume, and the interlayer spacing were affected strongly by milling time. Based on the XRD data, the formation rate of pure Hydrotalcite (HT) was strongly influenced by the chemical composition of raw materials. Electron microscopic observation displayed that the final product had a platelet-like structure with an average particle size of 20-100 nm. Therefore, the synthesis of Mg-Al-CO3-LDH via a cost-effective solid-state method owing to simplicity and reproducibility can be a promising candidate especially for use in biomaterials and catalyst industries.

Sr2CeO4: Ho3+ was prepared by high-temperature solid-state method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and photo luminescent (PL). The Sr2CeO4:Ho3+ phosphors showed a red emission under the near-ultraviolet excitation (280 nm) and the main emission centered at 475 nm. It has been found that A+ (A+ = Li+, Na+ or K+) codoped Sr2CeO4: Ho3+ phosphors could lead to a remarkable increase of photoluminescence. Luminous intensity was the highest when doping Li+ ions. Investigation indicated that Sr2Ce0.989O4: 0.001Ho3+, 0.01Li+ exhibited the strongest emission. The average particle size was about 6 um. The optimum sintering temperature was 1200 °C and the possible mechanism was also discussed.

Nanosized and highly reactive Mg4Ta2O9 were successfully synthesized by aqueous sol–gel method compared with conventional solid-state method. Ta-Mg-citric acid solution was first formed and then evaporated resulting in a dry gel for calcination in the temperature ranging from 600°C to 800°C for crystallization in oxygen atmosphere. The crystallization process from the gel to crystalline Mg4Ta2O9 was identified by thermal analysis and phase evolution of powders was studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique during calcinations. Particle size and morphology were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM). The results revealed that sol–gel process showed great advantages over conventional solid-state method and Mg4Ta2O9 nanopowders with the size of 20–30 nm were obtained at 800°C.

This study investigates the optical properties of samarium-doped microstructured and nanostructured CaO–CeO2 mixed solutions. Conventional solid state method and auto-igniting combustion synthesis were used for the preparation of the samples. The as-prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. A mixed phase formation with phases of CaO, CeO2 and Ca(OH)2 was observed form X-ray diffraction studies. The transmission electron microscopic studies have shown that the average particle size of the as-prepared powder was in the range of 30–40 nm. A blueshift is observed in the bandgap of the nanocrystalline samples. Strong orange–red emission was observed for Sm[Formula: see text]-doped samples and the chromaticity values were calculated using CIE chromaticity diagram.

The aromatic polyamides form a class of fibers having mechanical properties which are much better than those of aliphatic polyamides. Currently, the accepted morphology of these fibers as proposed by M.G. Dobb, et al. is a radial arrangement of pleated sheets, with the plane of the pleats parallel to the axis of the fiber. We have recently obtained evidence which supports a different morphology of this type of fiber, using ultramicrotomy and ion-thinning techniques to prepare specimens for transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

AbstractNovel luminescent materials Ca3-xSi2O7: xPr3+ were successfully prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method. The crystal structure, morphology, and optical spectrum were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and spectroscopy, respectively. The XRD patterns of the samples indicate that the crystal structure is monoclinic symmetry. The SEM shows that the selected sample has good crystallinity although its appearance is irregular and scalelike. The peak of the excitation spectrum of the sample is located at around 449 nm, corresponding to 3H4→3P2 transition of Pr3+. The peak of the emission spectrum of the sample is situated at around 612 nm which is attributed to 3P0→3H6 transition of Pr3+, and the colour is orange-red. The optimum concentration for Pr3+ replaced Ca2+ sites in Ca3Si2O7: Pr3+ is 0.75 mol%. The lifetime (8.48 μs) of a typical sample (Ca2.9925Pr0.0075)Si2O7 is obtained. It reveals that orange-red phosphors Ca3-xSi2O7: xPr3+ possess remarkable optical properties and can be used in white light emitting devices.
