background: similar to the thermoluminescence (tl) spectra, the optical parameters variations can also be used in tl crystals for dosimetry purposes. these optical parameters can include absorption, transmission and reflection coefficients. materials and methods: single crystals of kbr and kcl which have been used in this research were grown from laboratory grade extra pure precursor powders. c...

ten chromite ores from ophiolite complexes in se iran were analyzed mineralogically by xrd, chemically by xrf, and mineral chemistry by epma. the identified paragenesis of silicate minerals of chromite ores with the x-ray diffraction is pronounced differently. it consists of secondary phases formed as serpentine, cr-containing chlorite (kaemmererite), chromic garnet (uarovite) with preserved pa...

objective(s): hardystonite (ht) is zn-modified silicate bioceramics with promising results for bone tissue regeneration. however, ht possesses no obvious apatite formation. thus, in this study we incorporated sr and ti into ht to prepare sr-ti-hardystonite (sr-ti-ht) nanocomposite and evaluated its in vitro bioactivity with the purpose of developing a more bioactive bone substitute material. ma...

the study area is a part of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt comprising low- to high-graderegional and contact metamorphic rocks that are intruded by various plutonic bodies. garnet crystals areabundant in pelitic schists, amphibole schists, migmatites, hornfelses and aplites. they are mostly almandinerich(xalm>60) pyralspite garnets and show dodecahedron, trapezohedron and mixed (dodecahed...

alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...

Formation of stray grain defects particularly around re-entrant features of the turbine blade airfoils is one of the major problems in directional and single crystal solidification processes. In this work, directional solidification tests of the GTD-111 Ni-based superalloy were conducted at different withdrawal velocities of 3, 6 and 9 mm.min-1 using various stepped cylindrical and cubic design...
