AbstractNanocrystalline powders of 2H-MoS2 and 2H-WS2 with average particle size 5 and 9 nm, respectively, have been produced using C02laser pyrolysis. Typical production rate for these nanoparticles is 2g/hr. Particle size, crystallite size, and the structural phase were determined using X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and Raman scattering. Particle size effects may have been observed in the Raman-active modes (WS2 and MoS2) and in the band-edge excitons (MoS2).

SrTi0,65Fe0,35O3-δ, Ca0,5Sr0,5Ti0,65Fe0,35O3-δ, CaTi0,65Fe0,35O3-δceramic powders were synthesized by the polymeric precursor technique using CaCO3, SrCO3, C12H28O4Ti and Fe (NO3)3.9H2O. After calcination, each powder was heat treated at temperatures chosen according to data collected on thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis experiments. The compositions were analyzed by X-ray diffraction for structural phase evaluation (either perovskite cubic or orthorhombic), laser scattering for determination of particle size distribution and average particle size, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for observation of particle shape and average true size. Pressed powders sintered at 1250°C were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence; their surfaces were observed by scanning probe microscopy (SPM) for topographical analysis of grains and grain boundaries. TEM results show that the powders consist of agglomerated nanoparticles. Sr-based compounds have cubic perovskite phases whereas Ca-based compounds are orthorhombic. SPM images show intergranular features which might be responsible for reported blocking of charge carriers observed in impedance spectroscopy diagrams.

An x-ray diffractogram was generated from a powder sample of solution treated and ice brine quenched Al–14.25 at.% Li alloy. The Bragg reflections obtained were characteristic of a very-nearly fully ordered Al-rich L12 phase based on δ'Al3Li together with two very weak reflections associated with δAlLi. All the lines were significantly broadened due to particle size effects. The average particle size associated with the 100 L12 superlattice line was found to be 4.2 (3) nm and with the fundamental lines, 26.8 nm. A simple structure factor calculation indicated the volume fraction of ordered phase to be around 0.77, assuming that the lack of maximum order was due to the presence of disordered fcc AlLi solid solution. These results suggest that the microstructure of this as-quenched alloy comprises ordered regions of about 4 nm in size in a sea of disordered matrix with a very small amount of δAlLi present. This conclusion is in excellent agreement with recent small angle x-ray and transmission electron microscope studies on similar alloys and suggests that AlLi alloys which are ostensibly disordered at high temperatures go through a disorder-order transformation and then decompose into regions of order and disorder which are associated with a composition spinodal.

In the present work, nano Mn and MnZn ferrite powders were prepared by detonation of emulsion explosives, XRD(X-ray diffraction),TEM(transmission electron microscope) and VSM(vibrating sample magnetometer) experiments were carried out respectively to characterize and research the prepared powders. Results indicated that the average particle size of the raw Mn and MnZn ferrite powders was around 30nm, and Zn2+ seriously destroyed and reduced the dispersity and homogeneity of the powders although they were successfully doped in nano-Mn ferrite crystals. The average particle size, the specific residual magnetization(σr) and the coercivity(Hc) of the powders were all decreased with the increasing of the hexogen(for short, RDX) content.

This study evaluates the physical properties of freeze dried tropical (guava, sapota, and papaya) fruit powders. Thermal stability and weight loss were evaluated using TGA-DSC and IR, which showed pectin as the main solid constituent. LCR meter measured electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor. Functional groups assessed by FTIR showed presence of chlorides, and O–H and N–H bonds in guava, chloride and C–H bond in papaya, and chlorides, and C=O and C–H bonds in sapota. Particle size and type of starch were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and microstructure through scanning electronic microscopy. A semicrystalline profile and average particle size of the fruit powders were evidenced by X-ray diffraction and lamellar/spherical morphologies by SEM. Presence of A-type starch was observed in all three fruits. Dependence of electric and dielectric properties on frequency and temperature was observed.

Ultrafine powder of CaCu2.80Zn0.20Ti4O12 ceramic was prepared using a novel semi-wet method. DTA/TG analysis of dry powder gives pre-information about formation of final product around 800°C. The formation of single phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The average particle size of sintered powder of the ceramic obtained from XRD and Transmission electron microscopy was found 59 nm and 102 nm, respectively. Energy Dispersive X-ray studies confirm the stoichiometry of the synthesized ceramic. Dielectric constant of the ceramic was found to be 2617 at room temperature at 1 kHz.

TiO2-(Ti[Formula: see text]Si[Formula: see text]O2 nanopowders (TS-NPs) with average particle size around 90 nm were successfully synthesized by controlled auto-combustion method by using citric acid/nitric acid (AC:NA) and urea/metal cation (U:MC). The structure of powders was studied based on their X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The XRD of TS-NPs shows that rutile and anatase are the main phases of TS-NPs for AC:NA and U:MC, respectively. Particle size and histogram of nanopowders were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Optical properties of TS-NPs were calculated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Kramers–Kroning (KK) relation. Plasma frequencies of TS-NPs obtained from energy loss functions depend on fuels as a result of changes in crystal structure, particle size distribution, and morphology.

In this work, we report the ZnTe semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by aqueous chemical precipitation method using the tellurium precursor solution with different zinc compounds. Three batches of ZnTe NPs were synthesized to study the effect of dilution on the size and phase purity of ZnTe. The influence of source compounds and concentrations of the size and structure of NPs were studied. ZnTe NPs have great applications as field-effect transistors and photodetectors. The existing controversy regarding the crystalline structure of ZnTe NPs, whether it is cubic or hexagonal, has been resolved using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) data. The ZnTe NPs possess cubic structure, which is also confirmed by Electron Diffraction (ED) pattern. The average particle size determined from XRD data with the help of Debye-Scherrer equation is about 6 nm. The particle size can be further verified by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) studies.

Nanoscaled Cr2O3 powder with an average particle size of 20–40 nm, coated on alumina particles, has been produced by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a fluidized chamber, using the pyrolysis of Cr(CO)6 precursor. Amorphous and crystalline Cr2O3 particles were obtained when the temperatures of the pyrolysis were 300 and 400 °C, respectively. To prepare nanoscaled Cr3C2 powder from the nanometer-sized Cr2O3, carbonizing behavior of the Cr2O3 particles was investigated. It was found that, when amorphous Cr2O3 powders were carbonized in graphite furnace at 1150 °C for 2 h in vacuum (10−3 Torr), the powder was transformed into Cr3C2, while the crystalline Cr2O3 was transformed into a mixture of Cr7C3 and Cr3C2. The examinations by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy confirmed the transformation of the nano-sized Cr3C2 powders. The results of thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis indicated that the transformation temperature was ∼1089 °C for amorphous Cr2O3 and ∼1128 °C for crystalline Cr2O3.

Abstract This work explores the influence of dopant concentration on photoluminescent emission and kinetics of Eu3+-doped (0.2−10 at.%) nanocrystalline lanthanumoxide powders. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that all samples crystallize in La2O3 hexagonal phase with space group P3¯ m1. Transmission electron microscopy showed particles with non-uniform shape and diverse size distribution with an average particle size of (95 ± 5) nm. The room temperature photoluminescence spectra of all samples contain characteristic Eu3+ luminescence lines with the most pronounced red 5D0 →7F2 emission at about 626 nm. The maximum intensity of red emission is observed for the sample containing 5at.% of Eu3+ ions. The emission kinetics was recorded in the temperature range from 10K to 300 K. The maximum lifetime value of 0.98 ms obtained for the sample with 0.5at.% Eu3+ at room temperature increases up to 1.3ms at 10 K.

Well dispersed Cu2FeSnSe4 (CFTSe) nanofilms were synthesized by hot-injection method. The structural and morphological measurements were characterized using XRD (X-ray diffraction), Raman spectroscopy, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Chemical composition and optical properties of as-synthesized CFTSe nanoparticles were characterized using EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The average particle size of the nanoparticles was about 7-10 nm. The UV-Vis absorption spectra showed that the synthesized CFTS nanofilms have a band gap (Eg) of about 1.16 eV. Photo-electrochemical characteristics of CFTSe nanoparticles were studied and indicated their potential application in photovoltaic applications.
