Mike Meier University of California, Davis September 13, 2004 Figure 1. FEG-SEM image of nanosized aluminum oxide powder. Note the magnification and the size of the micron bar. Also note how the smaller particles and the edges of the larger particles appear to be somewhat transparent. This is because much of the 5 kV electron beam can pass through these thinner parts of the particles. CRYSTALLI...

Evolution of the structural and magnetic properties of ZnFe1.95Yb0.05O4 nanoparticles, prepared via a high-energy ball milling route and exposed to further thermal annealing/heating, was assessed in detail and correlation of these properties explored. While as-prepared spinel nanoparticles possess a high degree of inversion, heating of the sample to ∼500 °C is found to rapidly alter the cation ...

The proton diffusion coefficients in an electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) electrode at various stages of the constant current discharge have been determined by means of AC impedance technique. The finite diffusion model was applied in the numerical fitting. The crystallite size of EMD was estimated from (1 1 0), (1 2 1) and (0 2 1) diffraction peaks with both Scherrer equation and Warren–Ave...

in this work, boehmite sol was prepared by a previously applied and validated method; hydrolysis of aluminum chloride hexa-hydrate. in order to obtain precise results, the effect of ph after adding precipitating agent, aging time, peptizing temperature and ultrasonic vibration time on the crystallite size of final precipitate were investigated in a narrow range. the preparation conditions appli...

Microstructure of sintered nanocrystalline SiC is studied by x-ray line profile analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The lattice defect structure and the crystallite size are determined as a function of pressure between 2 and 5.5 GPa for different sintering temperatures in the range from 1400 to 1800 °C. At a constant sintering temperature, the increase of pressure promotes crystallit...

The influence of wood components and cellulose crystallinity on the thermal degradation behavior of different wood species has been investigated using thermogravimetry, chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction. Four wood samples, Pinus elliottii (PIE), Eucalyptus grandis (EUG), Mezilaurus itauba (ITA) and Dipteryx odorata (DIP) were used in this study. The results showed that higher extractives ...
