Angle dispersive x-ray diffraction (ADXRD) is a basic non destructive tool for the determination of crystal structure. Energy tunability and high flux are added advantages in using synchrotron radiation (SR) source for ADXRD technique. We have installed an ADXRD beamline (BL-12) on Indus-2, the Indian synchrotron source. Indus-2 is a 2.5GeV, 300mA SR source. The beamline consists of a Si (311) ...

Thin films of copper indium diselenide (CIS) were prepared by chemical bath deposition technique onto glass substrate at 60C. The studies on composition, morphology, optical absorption, electrical conductivity and structure of the films were carried out. Characterization includes X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Energy dispersive x-ray ...

A breadboard setup constructed at MOXTEK, Inc. is capable of capturing both XRF and XRD information using a charge-coupled device (CCD) as the x-ray detector. This preliminary setup will lead to a prototype simultaneous XRD/XRF instrument. NASA is funding the instrument’s construction because of its capabilities and small size; it could be used for future Mars missions for rock analysis. The in...

A new ligand containing long alkyl (octadecyl) chains was used to obtain the mesogenic complex [L2Cu4(mu4-O)(OAc)4].EtOH (1). This complex was thoroughly characterized and had its molecular structure solved by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mesomorphic properties were demonstrated by means of polarized microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and XRD.

in this study, a feasible green method for the synthesis of copper oxide nanocrystalline is described by using sour cherry juice which has a significant effect on crystalline size, and morphology. the benefits of the green method, not only nanometer scale are formed but also low-cost method are obtained in a normal atmosphere which it has been used (ch3coo)2cu.h2o individually as cu sources. al...

Undoped Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles as well as ZnO nanoparticles doped with Magnesium (Mg) were synthesized by wet chemical precipitation method using Zinc acetate and Magnesium acetate in Ethylene glycol and distilled water medium. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD patterns show the pattern of typical ZnO nanoparticles and correspond with st...

In this study, the commercial TiO2 nanopowder and micropowder of anatase phase and rutile phase have been characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD patterns of nano-TiO2 in rutile and anatase phases exhibit broad peaks whereas both phases of micro-TiO2 demonstrate very sharp peaks. TEM images show that the grain size of TiO2 micropowders and TiO2 n...

We analyze graphene and some of the carbon allotropes for which graphene sheets form the basis. The real-space and reciprocal crystalline structures are analyzed. Theoretical X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are obtained from this analysis and compared with experimental results. We show that staggered two-dimensional hexagonal lattices of graphite have XRD patterns that differ significantly fro...

Palladium nanoparticles of average size around 8 nm have been synthesized rapidly by UV irradiation of mixture of palladium chloride and potassium oxalate solutions. A rod-shaped palladium oxalate complex has been observed as an intermediate. In the absence of potassium oxalate, no Pd nanoparticles have been observed. The synthesized Pd nanoparticles have been characterized by powder X-ray diff...
