Tepe Sagzabad, a site situated on the Qazvin Plain of north-central Iran, was excavated from 1970 to 1998 by the Institute ofArchaeology of Tehran University. Recent excavations by H. Tala’i (1997-1999) yielded some metal artifacts dating to theEarly Iron Age. Ten of these copper-based samples were investigated using inductively coupled plasma optical emissionspectroscopy (ICP-OES), scanning el...

in this paper, a novel method of producing bi-metallic alloy nanoparticles at low temperatures using hydrogen bombardment of thin films, deposited on glass substrates, is introduced. optical and morphological characteristics of the nanoparticles were extensively studied for various conditions of plasma treatment, such as plasma power density, temperature, duration of hydrogen bombardment, thick...
