Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by the microemulsion method. Different values of pH maintained to find out optimum prepare cobalt nanoparticles. Prepared characterized using X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Rietveld refinement was used analyze crystal structure The crystallite size has been found from XRD in ...

To gain insight into the origin of the ultra-high strength of ultrafine-grained (UFG) alloys, the solute clustering, precipitation phenomena, and microstructural evolutions were studied in an UFG Al-4.63Cu-1.51Mg (wt.%) alloy (AA2024) processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The thermal analysis was performed using differential scanning calorimetry. The microstructures, internal microstrains a...

In this paper we have studied Structural, local structural and magnetic properties of sol-gel derived Zn1-xFexO (0≤x≤0.06) nanoparticles. The crystalline structure and crystallite size have been estimated by X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Other structural and local structural properties have been studied by Extended X-ray...

Were determined mechanical milling parameters (impact velocity, collision energy, impact pressure, impacted powder temperature, etc.) to explain the structural transformation of titanium dioxide obtained by medium and high energy ball milling. The effects time (6 hours 24 hours) rotation velocity discs on polymorphic evolution characteristics during process were investigated using X-ray diffrac...

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements of the thickness of white mica crystallites were made on three pelite samples that represented a prograde transition from diagenetic mudstone though anchizonal slate to epizonal slate. Crystallite thickness, measured normal to (001), increases as grade increases, whereas the XRD measured 10 ~ peakprofile, the Kubler index, de...

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...

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....

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 ...
