New types of porphyrin nano- and micro-particles composed of J- and H-heteroaggregates were prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of two oppositely charged porphyrins, tetrakis(4-trimethylammoniophenyl)porphyrin (H2TAPP4+) and tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II) (CoTPPS4-), in aqueous solutions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed novel morphology and size distrib...

Preparation of magnetitelmaghemite nanometric particles is reported from the precipitation of ferrous dodecyl sulfate micellar solution with methylamine. The size of nanocrystals is controlled by the micellar concentration and by temperature. It varies from 3.3nm to llnm. Magnetic properties are studied for various sizes of maghemite particles.

in the present research, damage mechanisms during room temperature uniaxial tensile testing of two different modern high strength dual phase steels,dp780 and dp980, were studied. detailed microstructural characterization of the strained and sectioned samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results revealed that interface decohesion, especially at the triple junctions of...

Semiconductor crystals smaller than about 10 nm, known as quantum dots, have properties that differ from large samples, including a band gap that becomes larger for smaller particles. These properties create several applications for quantum dots. In this paper new shapes of quantum dot arrays are used to enhance the photo physical properties of gold nano-particles. This paper presents a study o...

Polyurethane-based micro- and nano-hybrid composites were produced with controlled porosity to be used as obturation materials. In addition to hydroxyapatite (HAp) micro-particles in the composites, two different ceramics particle types were also added: alumina micro-particles and silica nano-particles. Particles of different sizes provide the materials with improved mechanical properties: the ...

Nowdays,  iron  nanoparticles  due  to  their  unique  characteristics  are used  in  all  of  sciences  and  technology.  These  nano  particles  due  to their  electrical, magnetic,  optical  and  catalytic  properties  and  having high  area  and  activity  that  is  promped  by  their  small  size  and most importantly  many  scientists  from  the  entire  world  are  interested  in th...

It has been thought that many novel properties and potential applications would emerge from monodisperse materials with small dimensions. Therefore, the synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles has been intensively pursued for their technological and fundamental scientific importance. The synthesis of nanostructured magnetic materials has become a particularly important area of research and is a...

A single phased Y-type hexagonal ferrite Sr2Co1.7Mg0.3Fe11.2Sn0.4Zn0.4O22 was synthesized by the sol–gel auto combustion method. Structural and magnetic properties of this composition of Y-type hexagonal ferrite have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirm single phase Y-type hexagonal ferrite and various parameters such as lattice constants and cell volume have been cal...

Sn–9Zn solder joints containing Ag nano particles were prepared by mechanically mixing Ag nano particles (0.3, 0.5 and 1 wt%) with Sn–9Zn solder paste. In the monolithic Sn–Zn solder joints, scallop-shaped AuZn3 intermetallic compound layers were found at their interfaces. However, after the addition of Ag nano particles, an additional uniform AgZn3 intermetallic compound layer well adhered to ...
