In this study, BaZr1-xCoxO3 nanoparticles, x = 0.00, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 and 0.20, are synthesized through co-precipitation method. Therefore, structural, optical and magnetic properties have been investigated. The cubic perovskite structure is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic measurements. The average crystallite size and micro strain ...

Storage of hydrogen is one of the key challenges in developing hydrogen economy. Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is an attractive candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage for on-board applications. In this study, 10 wt.% ZrB2 was co-milled with magnesium hydride at different milling times to produce nanocrystalline composite powder. The effect of milling time and additive on the hydrogen desorption...

The effect of CaO on the formation of β- and γ-zirconia nanoparticles from α-zirconia was investigated and their stability evaluated via mechanical activation. α-ZrO2+8.5wt%CaO powder was milled for 2-150 hours with ball-to-powder weight ratios (BPWR) of 40:1 and 60:1. Structural evaluations were conducted using X-Ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thermal analysis wa...

Current study represents the effect of the size and synthesis method on the cation distribution of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles and on the magnetic properties. The nanoferrites have been synthesized through sol-gel auto-combustion method using metal nitrates as precursor and citrate as fuel. In order to obtain the fine and agglomerated-free particles, we have used salt-assisted combustion react...

Timothy Williamson’s project in Knowledge and Its Limits (Williamson, 2000) includes proposals for substantial revisions in the received approach to epistemology. One received view is that knowledge is conceptualized in terms of a conjunction of factors that are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for knowing. A central aim of epistemology is to state such necessary and sufficient con...

It is crucial to find effective solutions environmental contamination that are also ecologically friendly. Zinc oxide (ZnO) well-known as a good photocatalyst. In this work, ZnO microspheres were synthesized using the solvothermal technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) used evaluate structural, optical, morphological features of . The hexagonal structu...

When synthesized under certain conditions, barium titanate (BaTiO3, BTO) nanoparticles are found to have the non-thermodynamic cubic structure at room temperature. These particles also a several-fold enhanced dielectric constant, sometimes exceeding 6000, and widely used in thin-layer capacitors. A hydrothermal approach is synthesize BTO nanocrystals, which characterized by range of methods, in...

We presented the results of electrical and optical studies of the properties of InxGa1−xN epitaxial layers (0.060 ≤ x ≤ 0.105) grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy. Resistivity and Hall effect measurements of the samples were carried out at room temperature. Optical properties of the samples were characterized by photoluminescence and optical absorption spectroscopy. The comparison betwee...
