soil samples were collected from seven sites in and around the metropolitan area of mexicocity. the locations were chosen as possible sources of fugitive dusts which contribute to suspended particulate matter in the atmosphere of mexico city. x-ray fluorescence (xrf) was used to determine the concentrations of several major elements (si, k, ca, ti, mn, and fe), as well as of other trace element...

Nanocrystals of ZnO were prepared by microwave irradiation using Zn (II) acetate and triethanol amin (TEA) as the starting materials and water as solvent. The nanocrystals of ZnO with hexagonal (Wurtzite) structure were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis absorption and FTIR Spectroscopy techniques.

we report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of tio2-cuo-sio2 nanostructure with different precursors molar ratio and calcined temperatures. in the present work, ternary reactive powders in the tio2-cuo-sio2 systems have been obtained using the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. the compounds and other elements change in special chemical and phys...

Zinc oxide/polyaniline (ZnO/PANI) nanocomposite film is prepared by a chemical method using CuSO4 as redox initiator. The nanocomposite is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TG techniques. X-ray diffraction studies of the composite show the reflection of ZnO nanoparticles along with a broad peak of PAN...

In this study a special type of silicoaluminophosphate with opal structure (Opal-SAPO) was prepared under microwave condition using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), triethanolamine (TEA), aluminiumisopropoxid and phosphoric acid 85%. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The crystalline product showed a good act...

Highly oriented and transparent ZnO thin films have been fabricated on ultrasonically cleaned quartz substrates by the sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS, FTIR, photoluminescence and SEM are used to characterize ZnO thin films. X-ray diffraction study show that all the films prepared in this work have hexagonal wurtzite structure, with lattice constants a = b = 3.260 Å, c = 5.214 Å. T...

in this paper, undopedzno and co-znonano structureswith different molar ratio of cobalt have been synthesized by the sonochemical method. structure have been characterized by fourier transform (ftir) and uv–vis spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive analytical x-ray (edax), and x-ray diffraction (xrd) methods. moreover, the direct band gap has been calculated by tauc...

The first laboratory synthesis of hard materials such as diamond proceeded to attack of developing materials with high hardness to compete diamond. Boron rich solids are good candidates owing to their short interatomic bond lengths and strong covalent character. Boron containing hard material was synthesized by modifiedmicrowave method under nitrogen atmosphere by using a fuel (glycine or urea)...

Cesium molybdates with general formula CsM(MoO4)2, where M = Bi, Dy, Pr, Er, exhibit rich polymorphism, and crystallize in a layered structure. These properties cause intensive studies on cesium molybdates. CsBi(MoO4)2 was synthesized by microwave method by using cerium sulphate, bismuth oxide and molybdenum (VI) oxide in an appropriate molar ratio. Characterizations were done by x-ray diffract...
