This study examined the local structural properties of CuI at low temperatures of 10-300 K by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Cu K edge. The XRD data were refined using two models, split (distorted zinc-blende structure) and non-split (zinc-blende structure), using a conventional Rietveld refinement combined with a maximum entropy...

Introdouction: The purpose of the present study was to determine the possible relationship between gonial angle size and three mandibular morphometric parameters, namely, panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), and antegonial notch depth (AD), in digital panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods: PMI, MCW, and AD were calculated in digital panoramic radiographs of...

In the present work the effects of plasma nitridization on the passivation behavior of AISI 316L was investigated. To do this; nitriding treatments were carried out at 420°C for 1, 2, 4 and 16 hours. The phase composition and structure of the nitrided layer were studied by Low Angle X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The hardness of samples also was evaluated by Vickers microha...

The structure of a crystalline material may be described by a crystal lattice structure and the locations of atoms in this lattice. The crystal lattice is a 3-dimensional periodic array that defines the symmetries, i.e. shape, of the crystal. There are seven possible crystal lattices: cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, rombohedral, orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic. When we define the possible ...

Mucoadhesive polymeric (carbopol 934) suspension of ciprofloxacin was prepared by ultrasonication and optimized with the aim of developing an oral controlled release gastro-retentive dosage form. The qualitative analysis of the formulation was performed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) a...

Halogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction between the electrophilic region of a halogen (σ-hole) and an electron donor. We report a crystallographic and structural analysis of halogen-bonded compounds by applying a combined X-ray diffraction (XRD) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) approach. Single-crystal XRD was first used to characterize the halogen-bonded cocrystals forme...

Porous clay heterostructures (PCH) based on modified montmorillonite were synthesized using different reaction conditions (different hydration degrees, pH values and reaction times). The PCH precursors and PCH were characterized using FTIR Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffractions (XRD). The XRD results showed that basal distance of porous clay heterostructures was significantly influenced by the mod...

The spectroscopic studies of transition metal complexes of iron. metal complexes, are characterized by XRD, FTIR, H NMR, Mössbauer and VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer) measurements, are reported in the present paper. The XRD analysis reveals the crystalline nature of all the compounds. Mössbauer study interprets paramagnetic nature of complexes at room temperature. VSM measurements also reve...

We report on the metalorganic vapor phase epitaxial (MOVPE) growth of AlN films on sapphire substrates. The effect of precursor flow rate and nucleation layer (NL) on the film quality was investigated. The films were characterized using AFM, XRD and PL. We could realize AlN films with very smooth surfaces and narrow symmetric XRD peaks indicating low screw/mixed type dislocation densities in th...
