biological systems provide many examples of specifically tailored, nanostructured molecules with highly optimized properties and characteristics. these biomaterials are composite materials and consist of an inorganic component and a special organic matrix. crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (s-layers( are the outermost cell envelope component of many eubacteria and archaea and are compos...

Molecular beam epitaxy grown InAs/GaSb superlattices, containing InSb-like interfacial layers, were analyzed by a combination of x-ray diffraction XRD and structural refinement. The superlattice refinement from x rays SUPREX method determines with high accuracy the average thicknesses and d spacings of the individual InAs and GaSb layers in addition to standard structural parameters usually obt...

This section contains details regarding the preparation of catalyst and membranes and further details on the experimental setup (including two photographs of the XRD-CT experimental setup), a comment relating to an artefact present within this XRD-CT, normalised summed intensity changes (as a companion to Figure 2), XRD-CT data focusing on the BCFZ membrane, a diffraction pattern to illustrate ...

Pure bisthiourea cadmium bromide (BTCB) and 1 mole % L-alanine mixed bisthiourea cadmium bromide (LABTCB) single crystals have been grown by slow evaporation method. The grown crystals have been characterized by single crystal XRD analysis, powder XRD analysis, FTIR analysis, UV-Vis-NIR analysis and SHG studies. XRD analysis confirms the crystalline nature of the materials. The addition of L-al...

Chitosan–silver (CS–Ag) nanocomposite materials were synthesized by a simple chemical method. The synthesized CS–Ag nanocomposite contains 20 wt% silver. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction method as well. The CS–Ag nanocomposite was characterized using Field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrosc...

Crystallographic studies of low symmetry organic molecular crystalline solids were performed by using XRD diffraction method. The well defined peaks appeared in the XRD profile of solids was indexed by using sin2 ratio method to understand the planes producing these peaks. The hkl values and d-spacing of the planes obtained from XRD file of diffractometer machine are feed into the software prog...
