Spinel ferrite compounds continue to receive a lot of attention due to their unique properties. Among the numerous synthesis routes existing, the solid-state method was applied for the production of nickel ferrite, by introducing the use of a quartz vial. A mixture of nickel oxide (NiO) and hematite (Fe2O3) was ground and vacuum-sealed in the vial and different thermal treatment programs were tested. The resulting particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. For temperatures, below 1000 °C, the solid-state reaction is not complete as nickel oxide (NiO) and hematite (Fe2O3) are still present. The reaction time is a decisive parameter for the morphology of the particles obtained. If, for different reaction times, the particle size distribution is always between 0.3 and 1.7 µm, a longer reaction time leads to the formation of dense, interconnected clusters of particles. Optimal parameters to synthesize a pure phase of spherical nickel ferrite were sought and found to be a reaction temperature of 1000 °C for 72 h.

The synthesis and self-assembly of two new phenylacetylene macrocycle (PAM) organogelators were performed. Polar 2-hydroxyethoxy side chains were incorporated in the inner part of the macrocycles to modify the assembly mode in the gel state. With this modification, it was possible to increase the reactivity of the macrocycles in the xerogel state to form polydiacetylenes (PDAs), leading to a significant enhancement of the polymerization yields. The organogels and the PDAs were characterized using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Combustion reaction between silicon powders and nitrogen in transport bed was studied. The reaction temperature ranged from 1523 to 1653 K, and the reaction time ranged from 0 to 2.7 min. The phase compositions, morphologies and chemical composition of the products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and O/N determinater, respectively. The experimental results showed, in the case of silicon powders with particle size of 2.2 μm, the conversion rate of silicon was 61.9% at reaction temperature of 1653 K and reaction time of 2.7min, and the products mainly comprised amorphous silicon nitride powders.

ABSTRACTCd1-xMnxTe alloy films with band gaps of 1.6 ∼ 1.8 eV have been deposited by RF magnetron sputtering for solar-cell applications. The films have been treated by chloride vapors to improve the photovoltaic performance. These as-deposited and chloride-treated CdMnTe films have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Raman results indicate that Te and/or TeO2 exists in the annealed samples depending on anneal conditions.

Abstract A mixture characterized by the molar ratios of H2O/SiO2 = 20, SiO2/Al2O3, = 120, Na2O/SiO2 = 0.3 and 1.6 diaminohexane (DAH) as template was reacted at 182 °C. Dependent on the reaction time, the ratio of OH- /SiO2 and DAH/SiO2 ZSM-5 was crystallised with α-quartz as by-product. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential thermal gravimetry.

The paper addresses the issue of health risk associated with the presence of chrysotile in the soil type ranker formed on massive serpentines occurring in the area of Bubanj Potok, a settlement located in the southern Belgrade environs, Serbia. Characterization of the ranker soil was conducted by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, micro-Raman spectroscopy and transmission 57Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy figures showed regular shaped smectite (montmorillonite) particles, aggregates of chlorite, and elongated sheets of serpentines minerals antigorite. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the presence of detrital mineral quartz polymorph as well as minor amounts of other mineral species. Micro-Raman spectroscopy identified the presence of dominant minerals, such as montmorillonite, kaolinite, muscovite, gypsum, calcite, albite, amphiboles (hornblende/kaersutite) and orthoclase. Important polymorph silica modifications of quartz, olivine (forsterite), pyroxene (enstatite/ferrosilite, diopside/hedenbergite), and serpentine (antigorite/lizardite/chrysotile) were identified.

A simple method for obtaining ZnO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites using solid-state reaction Zn + 3Fe2O3 ZnO + 2Fe3O4 is suggested. An analysis of the characteristics and properties of ZnO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites was carried out by a combination of structural and physical methods (X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, Mössbauer measurements, X-ray fluorescent analysis, and magnetic measurements). The magnetization of the hybrid ZnO-Fe3O4 films is equal to 440 emu/cm3. The resulting Fe3O4 nanoparticles are surrounded by a ZnO shell and have sizes ranging between 20 and 40 nm.

Rhombic NaLa(MoO4)2:Ln3+ (Ln = Eu and Tb) nanocrystals were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The structures and morphologies of the nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the crystalline size increased with increasing Na2MoO4 content. The photoluminescence properties of NaLa(MoO4)2:Ln3+ nanocrystals were investigated in detail. In the emission spectra of NaLa(MoO4)2:Eu3+ nanocrystals, the 5D0 → 7F2 is dominant, and the peak positions and spectral shapes of emissions were independent of Eu3+ concentration. The luminescence intensity increased with increasing Eu3+ concentration, up to about 10 mol%, and then decreased. In the emission spectra of NaLa(MoO4)2:Tb3+ nanocrystals, the 5D4 → 7F5 is dominant. The sample with a dopant concentration of 20 mol% showed the highest emission intensity.

The Al-substituted 11Å tobermorite was synthesized from aegirine-augite syenite potash ores by alkaline hydrothermal reaction at 300°C. The obtained tobermorite was characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of reaction time on the tobermorite formation and the dissolution ratio of the K2O in the potash ores were investigated. It was revealed that the dislocation ratio of K2O increases with increasing reaction time. The main rock constituents were converted into a well-crystallized Al-substituted 11Å tobermorite after 3 hours hydrothermal reaction at 300°C. The obtained Al-substituted tobermorite forms hollow spherical aggregates with the diameter of 40µm-80µm by the crossing of fibrous tobermorite crystal together. The Al3+ may substitute isomorphously up to 15 at % of Si 4+ in the obtained tobermorite.

Carbide-derived carbons (CDCs) are produced from carbides by removing non-carbon elements in the process of selective etching. In this paper, CDC was prepared from TiC by chlorination at the temperature range of 600~1100°C. In the chlorinating process, carbide-derived carbon with different microstructure was obtained by controlling the reaction temperature. The structures of CDC were revealed with X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The morphologies of CDC were analyzed by scanning electron microscope. From X-ray diffraction analysis, the CDC obtained from TiC in this experiment mainly consisted of amorphous carbon. Basing on scanning electron microscopy, carbide-derived carbon from TiC maintained the shape and size of TiC particles. Keywords: Carbide-derived carbons; chlorination; TiC

Chalcopyrite CuInSe 2 (CIS) and CuInGaSe 2</sub(CIGS) nanoparticles were directly synthesized by a solvothemal route in an autoclave with alkylamine as a solvent. The rod-like CIS nanoparticles with widths of 5-10 nm and lengths of 10-30 nm were obtained at 180°C for 36 hour whereas spherical nanoparticles with diameter in the range of 10-80 nm were observed at 200- 250 °C for 36 hour. A morphology change from spherical to rod-like CIS nanoparticles was observed at 190 °C as reaction time increased from 36 to 60 hour. The formation of the rod-like nanoparticles in diethylamine, without double N-chelation, was explained by the SLS (Solution- Liquid-Solid) mechanism. Spherical CIGS nanoparticles with diameter in the range of 30-80 nm were obtained in ethylenediamine at 280 °C for 14 hour. The products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM).
