The nanostructured cerium dioxide (CeO2) has been successfully fabricated using a simple precipitation method. Its characteristics were evaluated using TG-DTA, DR-UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM. The results showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has high purity and good crystalline nature, with face centered cubic (fcc) phase and the average diameter of CeO2 single crystal about 14 nm. Performance evaluation of the synthesized CeO2 samples showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has a strong adsorption toward acid orange-10 (AO-10) and congo red (CR) in aqueous solution. Under given experimental conditions (dye concentration of 15 mg/l, adsorbent dosage of 1 g/l, reaction temperature of 30 ? 1?C), it was estimated that the adsorption equilibrium for AO-10 and CR occurred at 60 min and 90 min of reaction time, respectively, with total removal of 96.82% for AO-10 dye and 93.55% for CR dye. The results suggested that the CeO2 nanopowder could be potentially used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of synthetic organic dyes in aqueous solution and may address for future concern in the area.

AbstractThe compression of argon is measured between 10 K and 296 K up to 20 GPa and and up to 114 GPa at 296 K in diamond anvil cells. Three samples conditioning are used: (1) single crystal sample directly compressed between the anvils, (2) powder sample directly compressed between the anvils, (3) single crystal sample compressed in a pressure medium. A partial transformation of the face-centered cubic (fcc) phase to a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure is observed above 4.2–13 GPa. Hcp phase forms through stacking faults in fcc-Ar and its amount depends on pressurizing conditions and starting fcc-Ar microstructure. The quasi-hydrostatic equation of state of the fcc phase is well described by a quasi-harmonic Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism, with the following 0 K parameters for Rydberg-Vinet equation: $$V_0$$ V 0 = 38.0 Å$$^3$$ 3 /at, $$K_0$$ K 0 = 2.65 GPa, $$K'_0$$ K 0 ′ = 7.423. Under the current experimental conditions, non-hydrostaticity affects measured P–V points mostly at moderate pressure ($$\le$$ ≤ 20 GPa).

Strength And Ductility

A novel lightweight Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V medium-entropy alloy (MEA) system was developed using a nonequiatiomic approach and alloys were produced through arc melting and drop casting. These alloys comprised a body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) dual phase with a density of approximately 4.5 g/cm3. However, the fraction of the BCC phase and morphology of the FCC phase can be controlled by incorporating other elements. The results of compression tests indicated that these Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V alloys exhibited a prominent compression strength (~1940 MPa) and ductility (~30%). Moreover, homogenized samples maintained a high compression strength of 1900 MPa and similar ductility (30%). Due to the high specific compressive strength (0.433 GPa·g/cm3) and excellent combination of strength and ductility, the cast lightweight Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V MEAs are a promising alloy system for application in transportation and energy industries.

CoCrFeNiPdMnx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) high entropy alloys (HEAs) were prepared and characterized. With an increase in Mn addition, the microstructures changed from dendrites (CoCrFeNiPd with a single face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase) to divorced eutectics (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.2 and CoCrFeNiPdMn0.4), to hypoeutectic microstructures (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.6), and finally to seaweed eutectic dendrites (CoCrFeNiPdMn0.8). The addition of Mn might change the interface energy anisotropy of both the FCC/liquid and MnPd-rich intermetallic compound/liquid interfaces, thus forming the seaweed eutectic dendrites. The hardness of the FCC phase was found to be highly related to the solute strengthening effect, the formation of nanotwins and the transition from CoCrFeNiPd-rich to CoCrFeNi-rich FCC phase. Hierarchical nanotwins were found in the MnPd-rich intermetallic compound and a decrease in either the spacing of primary twins or secondary twins led to an increase in hardness. The designing rules of EHEAs were discussed and the pseudo binary method was revised accordingly.

Abstract Herein, we report the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by a green route using the aqueous leaf extract of Morus indica L. V1. The synthesized AgNPs exhibited maximum UV-Vis absorbance at 460 nm due to surface plasmon resonance. The average diameter (~54 nm) of AgNPs was measured from HR-TEM analysis. EDX spectra also supported the formation of AgNPs, and negative zeta potential value (−14 mV) suggested its stability. Moreover, a shift in the carbonyl stretching (from 1639 cm−1 to 1630 cm−1) was noted in the FT-IR spectra of leaf extract after AgNPs synthesis which confirm the role of natural products present in leaves for the conversion of silver ions to AgNPs. The four bright circular rings (111), (200), (220) and (311) observed in the selected area electron diffraction pattern are the characteristic reflections of face centered cubic crystalline silver. LC-MS/MS study revealed the presence of phytochemicals in the leaf extract which is responsible for the reduction of silver ions. MTT assay was performed to investigate the cytotoxicity of AgNPs against two human cell lines, namely HepG2 and WRL-68. The antibacterial study revealed that MIC value of the synthesized AgNPs was 80 µg/ml against Escherichia coli K12 and Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96). Finally, the synthesized AgNPs at 10 µg/ml dosages showed beneficial effects on the survivability, body weights of the Bombyx mori L. larvae, pupae, cocoons and shells weights via enhancing the feed efficacy.

A green, simple, and rapid synthesis of gold nanoparticles using plant extract, Cryptolepis buchanani Roem. and Schult, and their applications are first described in this paper. The formation of gold nanoparticles was visually observed by the appearance of a ruby red color, which was further indicated by an absorption peak at 530 nm in UV-Vis spectroscopy. Optimization of reaction parameters for the gold nanoparticles was also investigated. Various analytical techniques were employed as part of the process of characterizing the resulting gold nanoparticles. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis revealed that the phenol compounds present in the extract were responsible for gold(III) reduction and stabilization of gold nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed that the gold nanoparticles were spherical in shape with an average diameter of 11 nm. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern indicated that the green synthesis approach produced highly crystalline, face-centered cubic gold nanoparticles. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) measurements confirmed the presence of elemental gold in the prepared nanoparticles. The negative zeta potential value of gold nanoparticles was found to be -30.28 mV. The green synthesized gold nanoparticles expressed effective antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Acinetobacter baumannii and exhibited an excellent catalytic property in terms of its reduction ability of methylene blue.

Iodine-doped whiskers of C60 (I–C60 whiskers) with diameters ranging from submicrometers to micrometers and lengths longer than 100 μm were successfully obtained by the use of the liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation method. Transmission electron microscopy observations showed that the I–C60 whiskers were single crystalline and had a growth axis parallel to the close-packed direction of C60 molecules and expanded (002) lattice planes indicative of the intercalation of iodine and oxygen atoms between the (002) planes of a body-centered-tetragonal crystal system. The I–C60 whiskers showed nonlinear I-V curves. The electrical resistivity of the I–C60 whiskers was more than three orders of magnitude lower than that of pristine face-centered-cubic C60 crystals.

AbstractL10 alloys typically derive from a high-temperature, disordered fcc phase. For example, CuAu has a face centered tetragonal structure below 380°C and is derived from its high temperature, disordered face centered cubic phase. As the material transforms from the disordered fcc phase to the ordered tetragonal phase, the four distinct Σ3 fcc twin misorientations generate twelve distinct tetragonal twin misorientations, four being characterized as Σ3 and eight as Σ6. Of particular interest is the Σ6 structure because it is possible to terminate lattice antiphase boundaries without dislocations at this interface. A pure step defect at the interface can accommodate the APB termination due to anti-site coincidence (coincidence between copper and gold sites). We term these defects “antiphase steps”. The antiphase step is a new type of interfacial defect that has not been described by other workers. The possibility of forming antiphase steps in ordered L10 alloys is related to even-Σ interfaces. Since the Σ6 boundary is common in the ordered phase, the formation of dislocation-free APB terminations may be important in L10 alloys.

Abstract:New ALD processes for hafnium silicate films have been developed at Aviza Technology by co-injection of tetrakis(ethylmethylamino)hafnium and tetrakis(ethylmethylamino)silicon precursors. Alternating pulses of the Hf/Si precursor vapor mixture and ozone allow process temperatures below 400°C to grow HfxSi1-xO2 films. Film characterization, including film density, crystallinity, and thermal anneal effect, was performed on five 20 nm thick HfxSi1-xO2 films where x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0. X-ray measurements revealed the film densities and thicknesses for the as-deposited and 1000°C annealed samples. The densification with anneals seen in the optical measurements were confirmed. The as-deposited amorphous HfO2 and Hf0.8Si0.2O2 were crystallized after a 600°C anneal. The HfO2 formed the well known monoclinic phase while the silicate formed a face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure. This fcc phase has only recently been mentioned in the literature [1].

The grain growth and mechanical properties of nanograined bulk Fe-25at%Ni alloy prepared by an inert gas condensation and in-situ warm consolidation technique were investigated. About 43% high temperature face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase and 57% low temperature body-centered-cubic (BCC) phase were observed in the sample at room temperature, which was significantly different from that of the corresponding conventional coarse-grained alloy. The in-situ X-ray diffraction results show that the start and the finish temperature of BCC to FCC phase transformation are 450°C and 600°C, respectively. The isothermal grain growth exponent n from t k D D n n ¢ = − 1 0 1 for nanograined single FCC phase Fe-25at%Ni alloy is 0.38 at 750 °C . The mechanical properties changing with the grain size were studied by means of microindentation test.
