Nanoparticles with controlled size and composition are of fundamental and technological interest as they provide solutions to technological and environmental challenges in the areas of catalysis, medicine, solar energy conversion and water treatment. Thus, production and application of nanomaterials is an emerging field of research. In this present study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized f...

Synthesis of mixed gadolinium calcium heptamolybdate (GdCaHM) system in silica gel medium using single gel single tube technique has been successfully achieved. The grown crystal exhibits various morphologies, which includes spherulites, multifaceted, and square platelets. The nature of the grown material was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscop...

The wide range of properties exhibited by Al based alloy makes them suitable for different applications. Aluminium containing nickel Selenide ternary alloy possess considerable corrosion resistance as compared to their pure metal counterparts. The objective of the present work has been focused on the preparation and characterisation of its thin film. Alloying with Aluminium improve the oxidatio...

Introduction In exploring the Ca-Rb-Ta-O phase diagram and attempting to grow new four layered members of the technologically interesting Rb2Ca2Ta4O13 perovskite family, a new structural phase was encountered. Initial XRF and EDAX analyses indicated only Rb and Ta components. Single crystal synchrotron X-ray data using BL-14A [1] was measured for the new compound at 0.85Å wavelength, chosen to ...

A silver cluster having the composition Ag(9)(H(2)MSA)(7) (H(2)MSA = mercaptosuccinic acid) was synthesized in macroscopic quantities using a solid-state route. The clusters were purified by PAGE and characterized by UV-vis, FTIR, luminescence, and NMR spectroscopy, TEM, XPS, XRD, TG, SEM/EDAX, elemental analysis, and ESI MS. The solid-state route provides nearly pure Ag(9) clusters, and nanopa...

Tremendous raise up on medicinal plants in global market, the marketers are focusing to improve their turnover and hence the feasibility of adulteration using similar physiological and/or chemical propertied materials are being increased. To overcome these quality issues on Emblica officinalis based herbal samples, the present investigation carried out to study thermal decomposition nature and ...

A structural study has been undertaken on a cobaltoan dolomite, with chemical formula CaMg0.83Co0.17(CO3)2 (cal-cium magnesium cobalt dicarbonate), from Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo. Pale-pink euhedral cobaltoan dolomite was associated with kolwezite [(Cu1.33Co0.67)(CO3)(OH)2] and cobaltoan malachite [(Cu,Co)2(CO3)(OH)2]. A crystal with a Co:Mg ratio of 1:5.6 (SEM/EDAX measurement), tw...

The effect of Cerium and Cobalt substitution in Zinc ferrites with respect to their electrical and magnetic properties has been investigated in this paper. The nanoparticles of Zn1-x-y Cex Coy Fe2O4 ( x = 0.012, 0014, 0.016, 0.018; y = 0.01, 0.001, 0014, 0.016) is prepared by sol gel route and sintered in a microwave furnace. The nano size, structure and composition of Ce-Co doped Zinc ferrite ...
