Abstract The silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) film was prepared in this work by the electrostatic spray deposition technique. Ag NPs properties were characterized X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectrophotometer, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. Then, on a 2 MHz crystal microbalance to fabricate humidity sensor. measurement systems are composed of fabricated sensor, oscillator ...

The paper deals with a study of diffraction on dielectric wedge (building corner) in millimeter frequency band, both theoretically and experimentally, to provide knowledge support for ray tracing/launching calculations of MWS interference issues in urban areas. The main motivation was to find balance between reasonably reliable results and necessary demands on calculation complexity and input d...

2014 The structures of thin lamellar films can be determined through a combination of three X-ray experiments using synchrotron radiation. Diffraction experiments in the transmission geometry give the intralamellar ordering, the diffraction at small glancing angles yields the interlamellar organization, and the critical reflection provides the density measurement which is required to obtain the...

It is demonstrated that standard in-house protein crystal X-ray diffraction apparatus can be used to measure very low resolution reflections with only a few modifications. The apparatus and modifications are described in detail and tested on two different macromolecular crystal samples: lysozyme and the 30S ribosomal subunit. Contrast-variation measurements on tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme ...

The aim of this work is to study the sensing behavior of Sr-doped hematite for soil water content measurement. The material was prepared by solid state reaction from commercial hematite and strontium carbonate heat treated at 900 °C. X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used for microstructural characterization of the synthesized powder. Sensors...

Three alloys of Al-Mg with and without scandium are cold worked at different percentage and then annealed. The texture behavior of the alloys is studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The X-ray diffraction analysis is done using a PHILIPS PW1830 diffractometer with Cu-Kα radiation. It is found that the addition of scandium in Al-6Mg alloy influences the development of texture. The cube texture...

Tomographic imaging of the molecular structure of an object is important for a variety of applications, ranging from medical and industrial radiography to security screening. X-ray diffraction imaging is the preeminent technique for performing molecular analysis of large volumes. Here we propose and demonstrate a new measurement architecture to improve the source and detector efficiency for dif...
