Small particles of gold foil detached from an indoor decoration might be important evidence to associate a suspect with a crime scene. We have investigated the application of elemental analysis using synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to discriminate small particles of gold foil. Eight kinds of gold foil samples collected in Japan were used in the experiments. As a result of ...

Polyimide/Nickel oxide (polyimide/NiO) nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by sol gel technique, using Pyromellitic dianhydriede (PMDA), 4,4-oxydianiline (ODA) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and 10 wt% Nickel titanate nanopowders (NPs). Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) we...

We report the growth by ion exchange synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles in MCM-41 matrices using Zn (CH3COO)2 and Na2S starting sources. The final product (ZnS/MCM-41) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectrometry (IR) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Its crystalline st...

Stoichiometric tetragonal Bal-xSrxTiO3 (x = 0.23) nanopowders were prepared by stearic acid gel(SAG) method using barium stearate, strontium stearate, tetrabutyl titanate as Ba, Sr, Ti sourcesand stearic acid as complexing reagent. Thermal analysis including differential thermogravimetric(DTG) and TG, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) andtransmission electr...

The title compound was characterized for the first time by a full range of physical methods including UV, FTIR, mass spectrometry and X-ray structure determination. copper atoms have distorted tetrahedral close to trigonal pyramid.
