polyvinylpyrrolidone  /  nickel  oxide  (pvp/nio)  dielectrics  were fabricated  with  sol-gel  method  using  0.2  g  of  pvp  at  different working  temperatures  of  80,  150  and  200  ºc.  structural  properties and surface morphology of the hybrid films were investigated by x-ray  diffraction  (xrd)  and  scanning  electron microscope  (sem) respectively. energy dispersive x-ray spectrosc...

The use of plant extract is generating interest of researchers toward cost effective and eco-friendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. In the present work, Cupric oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using coffee powder extracts by the sol-gel method at different calcination temperatures. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy , ultr...

ZnS  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  In  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  The effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  The nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...

introduction individual x-ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the x-ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. the goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...

In this work, structural and magnetic properties of LaMnO3+δ compound prepared by citrate precursor method and annealed in presence of oxygen are investigated. The structural characterization of LaMnO3+δ by X-ray powder diffraction and using X’pert package and Fullprof program is evidence for a rhombohedral structure (R-3c space group) confirmed by FTIR measurement. The magnetic measurements sh...

Three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in SiO440, ratio were prepared by direct synthesis without using any template. The products Si02/A120, ratio is influenced by the starting gel composition. This ratio is increased upon ion-exchange with NH,Cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. The protonic mordenites with Si02/A1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were chara...
