sol–gel auto-combustion is a unique combination of the combustion and the chemical gelation processes. in this work, nanosize (d) powders with compositions of znfe2o4 were synthesized by sol–gel combustion method. the puffy, porous brown powders as-combusted was calcined at the temperature of 750–1000◦c for 4 h. these powders are characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microsco...

the characterizations of natural diatomite from birjand deposit (iran) were studied such as chemical compositions, specific surface area, total pore volume, pore size distribution and xrd. the diatomite that was treated only with sulfuric acid displayed a larger surface area, expanded total pore volume and increased pore size in comparison with both washed natural diatomite with deionized water...

in the present work, we report a suitable approach for the preparation of batio3 nanostructures via the hydrothermal condition using dolapix et85 as surfactant. the powders were investigated by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning election microscopy (sem), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edax), field emission transmission electron microscopy (fetem), selected area electron diffraction (saed...

Recent advances in single-photon-counting detectors are enabling the development of novel approaches to reach micrometer-scale resolution in x-ray imaging. One example of such a technology are the MEDIPIX3RX-based detectors, such as the LAMBDA which can be operated with a small pixel size in combination with real-time on-chip charge-sharing correction. This characteristic results in a close to ...

The soft-X ray range, between 1-10 nm wavelength, is highly interesting for X-ray microscopy. Taking advantage of it requires, however, to operate a high resolution instrument at a variable wavelength. We describe here an image converter X-ray microscope which is based on secondary pharoemission. This instrument is now developped at the Institut dlOptique (Orsay); it will be installed near ACO ...

in this work, sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the fluorohydroxyapatite (nano-fha, ca10(po4)6(oh)2−xfx) nanopowders. the advantages of the sol-gel method over other methods are precise control of composition, low processing temperature, and better homogeneity. calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, phosphorous pentoxide and tetrabuthylammonium fluoride were used, respectively, as p, ca, and f p...

abstract this work investigated the electrochemical and aqueous tribological behavior of hot pressed 2205 duplex stainless steel (dss). dss sintered composites of different volume percent (% vol) of partially stabilized zirconia (psz) was developed using powder metallurgy (pm) technique. electrochemical behaviour was studied at room temperature, using open circuit potential and potentiodynamic ...
