Microscopical tests, including polarized light microscopy (PLM), phase contrast microscopy (PCM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used along with X-ray diffraction (XRD) in the characterization and testing of a laboratory-grade “Gooch fiber” asbestos sample. The sample was tested for possible fiber release during typical use as a substrate for ...

   Nickel-molybdenum oxidebimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized in ethylene glycol using the microwave irradiation technique. According to the results, successive reduction of nickel and molybdenum ions, followed by thermal treatment of obtained nanoparticles led to formation of core-shell structured nickel-molybdenum oxide nanoparticles. According to the results, the thickness of the s...

FePt nanoparticles with thermally stable room-temperature ferromagnetism are investigated. The monodisperse nanoparticles are prepared by chemical synthesis and a salt-matrix annealing technique. Structural and magnetic characterizations confirm the phase transition from the disordered face-centered cubic structure. In this paper, 3 nm FePt nanoparticles are first synthesized by superhydride re...
