Synthesis of high purity nano-sized transition-metal carbides

Sonochemical Synthesis of Novel Nano Flower Lead(II) Metal-organic Coordination Polymer: A New Precursor to Produce Nano-sized PbO

Metal-organic coordination polymers are a class of organic–inorganic materials consists of metal ions linked together through multi-dentate organic ligands, to form a polymeric chain. These materials have received a great deal of attention in a wide range of different areassuch as catalysis, sensing, luminescence, separation and storage used . The new nano flowerPb(II) 1Dmetal-organic chain {[P...

Elastic Properties of Transition Metal Nitrides and Carbides

In this paper, we study the elastic properties (i.e. Bulk modulus B) of a series of early transition metal mono-nitrides and carbides crystallize in the NaCl-type face centered cubic (FCC) structure has been investigated using plasma oscillation theory of solids. The same approach has previously been applied to rock-salt structured rare-earth mono-chalcogenides [J. Alloys and Compd. 537 (2012) ...

Synthesis and Characterization of 2D Nanocrystals and Thin Films of Transition Metal Carbides (MXenes)

3d transition metal doping of semiconducting boron carbides

The introduction metallocenes, in particular ferrocene (Fe(η-C5H5)2), cobaltocene (Co(η-C5H5)2), and nickelocene (Ni(η-C5H5)2), together with the carborane source molecule closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane, during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, will result in the transition metal doping of semiconducting boron carbides. Here we report using ferrocene to introduce Fe dopants, and a semic...

Thermal Plasma Synthesis of Nano-sized Powders

Thermal plasmas, normally generated by DC (direct current) arc or inductively coupled RF (Radio Frequency) discharge, can be described as a high enthalpy flame with extremely high temperature fields (1,000~20,000 K) and a wide range of velocity fields from several m/s [1-5] to supersonic values [6-7]. Since the resultant huge enthalpy can be realized for various kinds of plasma forming gases an...
