the preparation of nano-sized tio2 by titanium tetraisopropoxide (ti(oipr)4) via sol-gelmethod using acid as a catalyst is investigated and the optimized conditions concerning theproportional amount of acid, water, alcohol is established by xrd and sem. the effect ofcalcination temperature on phase transformation of tio2 (rutile, anatase and brookite) wasdetermined by xrd. the smallest grain si...

in this research calcium fluoride nanoparticles and its different amount of cerium ion dopant (5%and 10%) were prepared. the mentioned nanoparticle were studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) , x-ray diffraction (xrd), absorption and photoluminescence spectra (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the xrd patterns indicate a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other...

background: an early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxrd) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

clay minerals are considered the most important components of clastic reservoir rock evaluation studies. the shurijeh gas reservoir formation, represented by shaly sandstones of the late jurassic-early cretaceous age, is the main reservoir rock in the eastern kopet-dagh sedimentary basin, ne iran. in this study, x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf), scanning electron microscopic (s...

the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...

sio2-coated cobalt ferrite (cofe2o4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of cofe2o4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. the effects of sio2coating on the magnetic properties of cofe2o4 nanoparticles were investigated. the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of as-prepared sample were characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd), f...

in this work, sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the fluorohydroxyapatite (nano-fha, ca10(po4)6(oh)2−xfx) nanopowders. the advantages of the sol-gel method over other methods are precise control of composition, low processing temperature, and better homogeneity. calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, phosphorous pentoxide and tetrabuthylammonium fluoride were used, respectively, as p, ca, and f p...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles with small size and biostability is very important and used in various biomedical applications. in the present work, we describe the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (ag-nps) using seed aqueous extract of olea europaea (oe) and its antibacterial activity. uv–visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning elec...
