Tungsten oxide (WO3) nanostructure were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method at 150° C using tungstate dehydrates (Na2WO4.2H2O) as the precursor. Without any additive, scanning electron microscopy revealed a rhombus shaped WO3 nanostructures while with the addition of sodium chloride, the morphology changes to nano-dagger bundles that formed flower-like structure. Furthermore, the size o...

The magnetic properties of calcined cobalt ferrite formed by nano-crystalline powders have been compared by two different methods (co-precipitation and hydrothermal). The structural properties of the produced powders were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the formation of cobalt ferrite spinel structures is effected by changing me...

In this research, novel functionally graded Ni-P coating was deposited with electroless process. The content of phosphorus was controlled to change gradual through the thickness of the coating. During the plating, bath temperature and pH were changed at specified intervals to obtain functionally graded structure. To compare the properties of functionally graded coating with Ni-P single-layer co...

polyamide-66(pa66)/caco3 micro- and nano-composites were prepared using a polymer solution method at filler loading of 0, 1, 2 and 3 weight percent. nano-size of caco3 was synthesized by micro-emulsion technique. the material was characterized by xrd, sem, ftir and uv-vis techniques. xrd results of composites suggested that caco3 particles are found in the amorphous phase of the semi-crystallin...

The structure of nano-crystalline Fe2O3 particles, synthesized using the microwave plasma technique, has been analysed using synchrotron based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, as well as transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, magnetic properties, the crystal structure, and the microstructures are compared and the potential model character of the samples for st...

In this research, preparation of Zn0.95Ni0.04Co0.01O/PANI (polyaniline) (0.5%, 1% and 1.5% PANI) nanocomposites was performed by synthesis of pure polyaniline and adsorption of resulted organic chainson the structure of Zn0.95Ni0.04Co0.01O nano particles. The as-prepared samples was characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), field emission scan...

Single crystals in nature often demonstrate fascinating intricate porous morphologies rather than classical faceted surfaces. We attempt to grow such crystals, drawing inspiration from biogenic porous single crystals. Here we show that nanoporous single crystals of gold can be grown with no need for any elaborate fabrication steps. These crystals are found to grow following solidification of a ...

In this research zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. The ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The structure of nanoparticles was studied using XRD pattern. The c...

We report on the thermally induced changes of the nano-structural and optical properties of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon in the temperature range 200-700 degrees C. The as-deposited sample has a high crystalline volume fraction of 53% with an average crystallite size of ~3.9 nm, where 66% of the total hydrogen is bonded as identical withSi-H monohydrides on the nano-crystallite surface....
