A titanium nitride (TiN) coating using microwaves can be accomplished in air, and satisfies the required conditions of an on-demand TiN coating process. However, the coating mechanism using microwaves is not completely clear. In this study, to understand the detailed mechanism of microwave titanium nitridation in air, the quantity of nitrogen and oxygen in reacted TiN powder has been investigated by an inert melting method. Titanium powders were irradiated with microwaves by a multi-mode type 2.45 GHz microwave irradiation apparatus, while also being held at various temperatures for two different dwell times. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that nitridation of the powder progressed with increasing process temperature, and the nitridation corresponds to the powder color after microwave irradiation. The nitrogen contents of the samples increased with increasing processing temperature and dwell time, unlike oxygen. It is postulated that the reaction of convected air with titanium is a key role to control nitridation in this system.

A series of Ag/ZnO nanocomposites were prepared under microwave irradiation of different powers (100, 200, and 300 W). The crystal structure, morphology, and surface physicochemical properties of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analyses. Compared with the Ag/ZnO prepared by conventional sedimentation process, the crystal structures of Ag and ZnO did not exhibit any transformation after microwave irradiation; however, slight increases or decreases were observed in their absorption spectra and the specific surface areas. Moreover, the morphologies of all Ag/ZnO samples were changed dramatically by microwave irradiation, showing morphologies such as octagonal nano-pyramidal and multi-angled nano-pyramidal. The multi-mode photocatalytic degradation studies showed that the photocatalytic activities of the Ag/ZnO nanocomposites prepared under microwave irradiation of different powers were enhanced to different extents and were much higher than that of P25, ZnO, and Ag/ZnO prepared in the absence of microwave irradiation.

In the present work, the properties of ZnO nanoparticles obtained using an eco-friendly synthesis (biomediated methods in microwave irradiation) were studied. Saponaria officinalis extracts were used as both reducing and capping agents in the green nanochemistry synthesis of ZnO. Inorganic zinc oxide nanopowders were successfully prepared by a modified hydrothermal method and plant extract-mediated method. The influence of microwave irradiation was studied in both cases. The size, composition, crystallinity and morphology of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM-EDX microscopy. Tunings of the nanochemistry reaction conditions (Zn precursor, structuring agent), ZnO NPs with various shapes were obtained, from quasi-spherical to flower-like. The optical properties and photocatalytic activity (degradation of methylene blue as model compound) were also investigated. ZnO nanopowders’ antibacterial activity was tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains to evidence the influence of the vegetal extract-mediated synthesis on the biological activity.

AbstractFor the first time AgTa0.38Nb0.62O3 (ATN) films have been grown on the La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 (LSCO)/LaAlO3 single crystal as well as onto Pt80Ir20 (PtIr) polycrystalline substrate. Comprehensive X-ray diffraction analyses reveal epitaxial quality of ATN and LSCO films on the LaAlO3(001) substrate, while ATN/PtIr films have been found to be (001) preferentially oriented. Dielectric spectroscopy performed for ATN films and bulk ceramics in a wide temperature range 77 to 420 K shows the structural monoclinic M1-to-monoclinic M2 phase transition occurs in films at the temperature 60 °C lower than in ceramics. The tracing of the ferroelectric hysteresis P-E loops indicates the ferroelectric state in ATN films at temperatures below 125 K and yields remnant polarization of 0.4 μC/cm2 @ 77 K. Weak frequency dispersion, high temperature stability of dielectric properties as well as low processing temperature of 550 °C make ATN films to be attractive for various applications.

In order to reduce the oxidizing and volatilizing caused by Mg element in the traditional methods for synthesizing Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions, Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions have been prepared by Microwave-assisted Synthesis techniques. The heating behavior of Mg, Si and Sn fixed powder was investigated under microwave irradiation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the powders. The results suggest that the temperature-rising rate is also dependent on the initial green density and higher green density provides lower heating rate while power setting are fixed. XRD patterns show that Mg2Sil-xSnxsolid solutions have been well formed under microwave irradiation.

Potassium borates are one of the minor groups of boron minerals with its distinct non-linear optical properties. In this study, potassium borate compound of santite (KB5O8·4H2O) are synthesized using potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and boric acid (H3BO3) with a new and rapid method of microwave irradiation. The synthesized minerals are characterized by various analysis techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Three parameters of “microwave power level”, “reaction times” and “reaction stoichiometric constants (elemental potassium to boron ratios)” are determined for the optimum synthesis of potassium borate within the four step. At the end of the step 4, optimum products are obtained as santite type potassium borate. Synthesized potassium borates Raman bands are in mutual agreement with the boron compounds and the overall reaction yields to potassium borates are very high compared with the lower reaction times.

The aim of this paper is first a better understanding of DC reactive magnetron sputtering and its implications, such as the hysteresis effect and the process instability. In a second part, this article is devoted to an example of specific application: Aluminium Nitride. AlN thin films have been deposited by reactive triode sputtering. We have studied the effect of the nitrogen contents in the discharge and the RF bias voltage on the growth of AlN films on Si(100) deposited by triode sputtering. Stoichiometry and crystal orientation of AlN films have been characterized by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and secondary electron microscopy. Dense and transparent AlN layers were obtained at high deposition rates. These films have a (002) orientation whatever the nitrogen content in the discharge, but the best crystallised ones are obtained at low value (10%). A linear relationship was observed between the AlN lattice parameter "c" (perpendicular to the substrate surface) and the in-plane compressive stress. Applying an RF bias to the substrate leads to a (100) texture, and films become amorphous. Moreover, the film's compressive stress increases up to a value of 8GPa before decreasing slowly as the bias voltage increases.

AbstractA new cyclotriphosphazene, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexakis (o-tolylamono)-1,3,5,2λ5,4λ5,6λ5-triazatriphosphinine (MPAP), was prepared using microwave irradiation and identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, in addition to hydrogen bonds, the network is further stabilized by inter- and intramolecular π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings.

In this study, the boronized layers were formed on the surfaces of specimens with a composition of Fe-2 wt. % Cu-0.4 wt. % C by sintering and boronizing simultaneously, using a pack boronizing method. The processes were performed in the temperature range of 1050 - 1150 oC at a holding time of 4 hours in 97 % N2 and 3 % H2 atmosphere. Scanning electron microscopy examinations showed that the boronized layers formed on the surface of boronized and sintered specimens have a denticular morphology. The thicknesses of the boronized layers varied from 63 to 208 ?m depending on the processing temperature. The structures of the boronized layers were Fe2B and FeB confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The microhardness values of boronized layers ranged from 1360 to 2066 HV0.3 much higher than that of substrate hardness which was about 186 HV0.3. Wear testing results showed that the wear resistance of the boronized and sintered specimens was significantly improved, resulting from increased surface microhardness.

The present work deals with the investigation of the transformations of the solid and liquid phases at high energy planetary ball milling of toluene together with titanium powder. The sequence of structural toluene transformations using FT-IR spectroscopy was investigated. Phase constitutions and morphology of ball milled titanium powders were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown that mechanically induced destruction of toluene occurs by the mechanism of catalytic cracking. During ball milling, concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons in the liquid phase decreases, at the same time the content of alkenes, cycloalkanes, and isoalkanes increases. The main solid products of the mechanosynthesis were cubic and hexagonal titanium carbo-hydrides.Evolution of lattice parameters, crystallites sizes, and micro-stresses of the solid phases during ball milling as a function of the mechanical energy dose have been discussed.

The investigations of the microstructure changes of Ni75Ti25powder prepared by mechanical alloying in as-milled state and after annealing treatment were performed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to investigate a mechanically induced solid state reaction between nickel and titanium powders. The crystallite sizes and lattice strains were analyzed by using Williamson-Hall method. The compacted powder morphology was analyzed by SEM method. The Ni(Ti) solid solution was formed as a result of the milling process. The crystallite sizes of all alloys are below 100 nm. The annealing treatment, in the temperature range of 773 K to 1173 K leads to reduction of the breadth of Ni(Ti) diffraction lines, which indicates at the increase in size of crystallites. However, the phase composition of annealed Ti75Ni25powder does not change, so the presence of any Ni-Ti intermetallic phases is not stated.
