In this paper we study the effects of different molar ratio R of Zn2+ to OH– (R= nOH–/nZn(II) of the precursor was investigated by varying the amount of NaOH. Samples have been synthesized by the colloidal method at room temperature using (ZnCl2), citric acid (C6H8O9·H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The formation of ZnO/C composite was characterized by The X-ray diffraction patterns indicated a high crystallinity and nanocrystalline size of ZnO with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The morphologies of the particles have been studied with a scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The existence of carbon into the composite was detected by FTIR and EDS. The optical band gap of various ZnO/C composite was calculated from UV-Visible absorption measurement varied in the range 3.301 to 3.282 eV according to R values.

Structural characterization and X-ray reference powder pattern determination have been conducted for the Co- and Zn-containing tridymite derivatives Ba(Co1−xZnx)SiO4 (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8). The bright blue series of Ba(Co1−xZnx)SiO4 crystallized in the hexagonal P63 space group (No. 173), with Z = 6. While the lattice parameter “a” decreases from 9.126 (2) Å to 9.10374(6) Å from x = 0.2 to 0.8, the lattice parameter “c” increases from 8.69477(12) Å to 8.72200(10) Å, respectively. Apparently, despite the similarity of ionic sizes of Zn2+ and Co2+, these opposing trends are due to the framework tetrahedral tilting of (ZnCo)O4. The lattice volume, V, remains comparable between 626.27 Å3 and 626.017 (7) Å3 from x = 0 to x = 0.8. UV-visible absorption spectrum measurements indicate the band gap of these two materials to be ≈3.3 and ≈3.5 eV, respectively, therefore potential UV photocatalytic materials. Reference powder X-ray diffraction patterns of these compounds have been submitted to be included in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).

Fe-doped TiO2nanotubes (Fe-TNTs) have been prepared by ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method. The structure and composition of the as-prepared TiO2nanotubes were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. Their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of MO under visible light. The UV-visible absorption spectra of the Fe-TNT showed a red shift and an enhancement of the absorption in the visible region compared to the pure TNT. The Fe-TNTs were provided with good photocatalytic activities and photostability and under visible light irradiation, and the optimum molar ratio of Ti : Fe was found to be 100 : 1 in our experiments.

Abstract A new non-centrosymmetricorganotin (IV) hybrid compoundC5H14N2 [SnCl6] 2H2O was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 150(2) K. Its crystal structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction reveling that compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with Pbca space group with the following lattice parameters: a = 12.1486 (15) Å, b= 15.4571 (17) Å, c = 16.7610 (18) Å with Z = 8. The bonding between inorganic and organic entities in the compounds is realized by hydrogen bonding O−H…O ,O−H…Cl , NH • • • Cl, N-H…Cl and O−H…Cl. Finally,UV-visible absorption measurements exhibit two absorption bands (226 nm and 262 nm).The optical band gap (Eg) is deduced to be 3.46 Ev.

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) were successfully prepared by using phyto assisted solution immersion process. ZnO were grown on a glass substrate coated with ZnO nanoparticle thin-film as seed layer at annealing temperature of 450°C. The fabricated nanostructured ZnO exhibit absorption at ∼375 nm as revealed from the UV-visible absorption spectrum, and it is comparable with ZnO nanostructured synthesized from hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement revealed a sharp peak corresponding to the hexagonal wurtzite structure of nanostructured ZnO. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed average size of ZnO at 24.15 nm slightly smaller compared to synthesized from HMTA; 30.54 nm. It should also be highlighted that the needs of using this alternative green method are due to the advantages of low working temperature and cost-effective, and with the least possible damage to the environment.

Abstract. Neodymium doped sodium bismuth borate (Na2O-Bi2O3-B2O3) glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. Amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed through the X-ray diffraction study. Density of the investigated glasses increases systematically with Bi2O3 concentration. Glass transition temperature decrease slightly with increase of Bi2O3 content and could be due to increase in the number of weaker Bi-O linkages by stronger Nd-O linkages. Fourier Transform - Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been carried out. The IR spectra of the glasses reveal that the strong network consisting of diborate units and is unaffected by the variation of Nd3+ concentration. UV-Visible absorption studies have been performed on these glasses to examine the optical spectra and the optical band gap energy has been calculated. The intensity of the absorption band increases with the increase of Nd3+ concentration. This is due to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO’s) in the structure.

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals (NCs) were self-assembled and in-situ immobilized on the dithiocarbamate (DTCs)-functionalized polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) substrates between the organic (carbon disulfide diffused in n-hexane) –aqueous (ethylenediamine and Cd2+ dissolved in water) interface at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed the hexagonal structure of CdS nanocrystals. Morphological studies performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) showed the island-like structure of CdS nanocrystals on PET substrates, as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the stoichiometries of CdS nanocrystals. The optical properties of DTCs modified CdS nanocrystals were thoroughly investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The as-prepared DTCs present intrinsic hydrophobicity and strong affinity for CdS nanocrystals.

The aims of this research were study the microstructures and mechanical properties for partial replacement of cement with Fly ash (FA) and kaolin waste (KW). Ordinary Portland cement were partially replaced with FA and KW in the range of 25-35% and 10-25% by weight of cement powder. The kaolin waste was ground for 180 minutes before using. The specimen was packing into an iron mold which sample size of 5×5×5 cm3. Then, the specimens were kept at room temperature for 24 hours and were moist cured in the incubation lime water bath at age of 3 days. After that the specimens were dry cured with plastic wrap at age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that the compounds were examined by x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compressive strength was then investigated.

Powder Cd of 99.999% purity was prepared at room temperature (25 °C) and x-ray diffraction patterns were obtained using CuKaα radiation with Ni-filter. The line broadening was analyzed after incorporating the appropriate correction factors. At room temperature Cd was found to have large particle size (653 A), small root mean square strain (.001), small deformation fault probability a (.003). and negligible growth fault probability β(0). Compared to other hep metals which have been studied earlier and which have higher melting temperatures, metal Cd is much less affected by mechanical deformation at room temperature.

The influences of the substitution of Ni with Mg on crystallographic and magnetic properties of the intermetallic alloys LaNi5-xMgx (x ≤ 0.4) were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that all samples were of single phase, and the lattice parameters, a and c, decreased slightly upon chemical doping. LaNi5 is well known as an exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnet. Interestingly, in LaNi5-xMgx, the ferromagnetic order existed even with a small amount of dopants; the Curie temperature reached the value of room temperature for x = 0.2, and enhanced with increasing x.
