Atomic-scale structure of nanocrystalline CeO2–ZrO2 oxides by total x-ray diffraction and pair distribution function analysis
Total x-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis have been used to determine the atomic ordering in nanocrystalline (∼1.5 nm in size) CeO2–ZrO2 prepared by a sol–gel route. Experimental data show that the oxides are a structurally and chemically inhomogeneous mixture of nanoscale domains with cubic-type and monoclinic-type atomic ordering, predominantly occupied by Ce and ...
متن کاملLocal atomic structure and the valence band structure of the rhombic-triacontahedral quasicrystal, its 1/1 approximant, and the Mackay-icosahedral quasicrystal in the Al-Mg-Pd alloy system
The rhombic-triacontahedral-type quasicrystal ~RT-QC!, its (1/1, 1/1, 1/1) approximant (RT-1/1) and the Mackay-icosahedral-type quasicrystal ~MI-QC! can be formed in the Al-Mg-Pd system. The radial distribution function RDF(r) spectra of the three compounds is derived from neutron diffraction experiments. Powdered x-ray diffraction Rietveld refinement is also carried out to determine the atomic...
متن کاملBeyond crystallography: the study of disorder, nanocrystallinity and crystallographically challenged materials with pair distribution functions.
Studying the structure of disordered and partially ordered materials is notoriously difficult. Recently, significant advances have been made using the atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of powder diffraction data coupled with the use of advanced X-ray and neutron sources and fast computers. Here we summarize some of the more spectacular successes of this technique in studying the ...
متن کاملSize, shape, and internal atomic ordering of nanocrystals by atomic pair distribution functions: a comparative study of gamma-Fe2O3 nanosized spheres and tetrapods.
Due to their limited length of structural coherence nanocrystalline materials show very diffuse powder X-ray diffraction patterns that are difficult to interpret unambiguously. We demonstrate that a combination of high-energy X-ray powder diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis can be used to both assess the geometry (i.e., size and shape) and determine the internal atomic or...
متن کاملMorphological and Crystallographic Characterization of Nanoparticles by Granulometry Image Analysis and Rietveld Refinement Methods
The particle size distribution of the resultant cobalt ferrite samples was determined from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images using the granulometry image analysis method. Results showed the nanosized particles of the samples. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of samples were also analyzed by Rietveld refinement method. The results indicated that the precipitated sample at 95 <sup...
