5% Fe- and Mn-doped nano-ZnS (Zn0.95A0.05S, A?=?Fe or Mn) was prepared using the thermolysis technique. The effect of Fe Mn doping on lattice parameter, crystallite size, microstrain examined applying Rietveld refinement. analysis showed incorporation substitutionally for Zn ions; a result confirmed by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy spectra from shift in vibration bands upon doping. e...

-Thirty two boehmites, synthesized at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300~ were examined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The results show that boehmite exhibits a continuous gradation in crystallite size ranging from single octahedral layers ...

In this work, the relationship between cellulose crystallinity, the influence of extractive content on lignocellulosic fiber degradation, the correlation between chemical composition and the physical properties of ten types of natural fibers were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry techniques. The results showed that higher extractive contents associated wi...

We report a novel packing mode specific to the cis unsaturated hydrocarbon chain in the title compound, a self-assembled layered double hydroxide-surfactant hybrid nanomaterial, and its influence on crystallite morphology and structure. The kink imposed by the cis double bond in oleate leads to partial overlap between chains on adjacent layers, with incomplete space filling, in contrast to the ...

A single-step, self-contained method for determining the crystallite-size distribution and shape from experimental x-ray line profile data is presented. It is shown that the crystallite-size distribution can be determined without invoking a functional form for the size distribution, determining instead the size distribution with the least assumptions by applying the Bayesian/MaxEnt method. The ...

A series of thin silicon films with different degrees of crystallinity were prepared by decomposition of silane gas highly diluted with hydrogen, in radiofrequency glow discharge. The crystallite size, shape, and the portion of crystalline phase were investigated by highresolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Raman spectroscopy (RS), and X...

The fundamental parameters approach is used to simulate the instrument contribution to the X-Ray diffraction profile. This procedure eliminates the need to experimentally prepare a reference sample of the studied crystalline material when using the Warren-Averbach method to investigate microstrutural parameters. The Warren-Averbach method is also compared to the Balzar and Enzo methods, two oth...

Abstract It is presented a “shocking thermal treatment” methodology as modification to the molten salts process rapidly obtain pure phase nickel ferrite nanoparticles within high-scalable green synthesis scheme. Analysis from X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy (SEM TEM) confirms formation of nanostructures, with most frequent crystallite sizes between 55-85 nm. Room temperature magnetic ...

Samples of CoFe2-xCrxO4 where x varies from 0.0 to 0.5 were prepared by co-precipitation route. These samples were sintered at 750°C for 2 hours. These particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) at room temperature. The FCC spinel structure was confirmed by XRD patterns of the samples. The crystallite sizes of these particles were calculated from the most intense peak by Scherrer f...
