The growth and structural analysis of topological semimetal (TSM) PdTe2 were carried out in this study. self-flux method was employed to grow the single crystals which structurally characterized by XRD, SEM EDAX, while vibrational modes observed Raman spectroscopy. Further, transport properties grown crystal are also investigated, show presence weak anti-localization effect. low-field (≈1 Tesla...

Understanding the role of nanoparticles in magnesium (Mg)-based materials and protective coating provides valuable information to achieve an optimized combination mechanical corrosion protection properties Mg nanocomposites. The present study investigates effects SiC on behavior structure Mg-SiC composites substrates coated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). Moreover, influence different v...

BACKGROUND Advances of nanotechnology have led to the development of nano-materials with both potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Among them, Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) have received particular attention. Modified EDC coupling fraction was used to fabricate the SPION-C595 as an MR imaging contrast agent for breast cancer detection in early stages. METH...

Nitration of toluene has been studied in the liquid phase over a series of modified zirconia catalysts. Zirconia, zirconiaceria (Zr0.98Ce0.02)O2, sulfated zirconia and sulfated zirconiaceria were synthesised by co precipitation method and were characterised by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, Infra red spectroscopy analysis (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microsc...

ZnO thin films were prepared on glass substrates at low (5 × 10-4 mbar) and high (3 × 10-3 mbar) sputter pressure using dc reactive magnetron sputtering. The structural, morphological, compositional and optical properties of the thin films were investigated. XRD patterns of both films confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the films with hexagonal Wurtzite structure. SEM study indicates that t...

Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) exhibit tremendous applications in medicine as antimicrobial agent. The use of different parts of plants for the synthesis of nanoparticles is considered as a green technology as it does not involve any harmful chemicals. In the present study, we report a rapid biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from aqueous leaf extract of medicinal plant Allamanda cathartica. The...

In this study, Aspergillus niger ADM110 fungi was gamma irradiated to produce lipase enzyme and then immobilized onto magnetic barium ferrite nanoparticles (BFN) for biodiesel production. BFN were prepared by the citrate sol-gel auto-combustion method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron mic...

A new approach for the synthesis of freely dispersible one-dimensional (1D) lanthanum telluride nanowires (La2Te3 NWs) in the solution phase is reported. The process involves a reaction between tellurium nanowires (Te NWs) and lanthanum nitrate (La(NO3)3) at room-temperature. Te NWs act as templates for the formation of La2Te3 NWs. The aspect ratio of the as prepared La2Te3 NWs is the same as t...
