A comprehensive study of structure and properties of nanocrystalline zinc peroxide

2022

Abstract Nanocrystalline zinc peroxide (nano-ZnO2) was synthesized through a hydrothermal process and comprehensively studied using several experimental techniques. Its crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the average crystallite size of 22 nm was estimated by Rietveld refinement. The temperature-dependent local environment around zinc atoms was reconstructed using reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) analysis from the Zn K-edge X-ray absorption spectra. The indirect band gap of about 4.6 eV was found using optical absorption spectroscopy. Lattice dynamics of nano-ZnO2 was studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. In situ Raman measurements indicate the stability of nano-ZnO…

X-ray Powder Structure Determination and Thermal Behavior of a New Modification of Pb(II) Selenite

2002

The crystal structure of a new polymorphic form of lead(II) selenite (PbSeO3) was solved directly from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data. Direct methods and Rietveld refinement techniques were used for the structure determination. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with cell dimensions a = 9.1587(1) A, b = 8.0902(1) A, c = 8.7932(1) A, β = 103.032(1)°, and V = 634.76(2) A3. The final refinement gave background excluded Rp = 6.22%, Rwp = 8.81%, and RB = 2.16% by using 45 structural and 15 profile parameters with 10 atoms in an asymmetric unit. The three-dimensional structure consists of 9-coordinated lead atoms, which are linked by three bidentate…

Effect of the dopant selection (Er, Eu, Nd or Ce) and its quantity on the formation of yttrium aluminum garnet nanopowders

2008

Abstract Hydroxide precursors, synthesized using the co-precipitation method, were calcined for 1 h at the temperatures of 900, 1000 and 1100 °C, respectively, and heated directly to 1500 °C to produce various Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) nanopowders with different doping quantities of erbium, europium, neodymium and cerium. All samples were investigated using thermo-gravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA), field emission gun-scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). TG and DTA experiments were performed from room temperature up to 1500 °C; the weight loss curves combined with the presence of exo- and endo-thermal even…

Large scale synthesis of nanostructured zirconia-based compounds from freeze-dried precursors

2013

Nanocrystalline zirconia powders have been obtained at the multigram scale by thermal decomposition of precursors resulting from the freeze-drying of aqueous acetic solutions. This technique has equally made possible to synthesize a variety of nanostructured yttria or scandia doped zirconia compositions. SEM images, as well as the analysis of the XRD patterns, show the nanoparticulated character of those solids obtained at low temperature, with typical particle size in the 10–15 nm range when prepared at 673 K. The presence of the monoclinic, the tetragonal or both phases depends on the temperature of the thermal treatment, the doping concentration and the nature of the dopant. In addition,…

Mn2+-induced room-temperature ferromagnetism and spin-glass behavior in hydrothermally grown Mn-doped ZnO nanorods

2014

The magnetic properties of Mn-doped ZnO (ZnO:Mn) nanorods grown by hydrothermal process at a temperature of 200 °C and a growth time of 3 h have been studied. The samples were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and SQUID magnetometry. Mn (3 wt%) and (5 wt%)-doped ZnO samples exhibit paramagnetic and ferromagnetic behavior, respectively, at room temperature. The spin-glass behavior is observed from the samples with respect to the decrease of temperature. At 10 K, both samples exhibit a hysteresis loop with relatively low coercivity. The room-temperature ferromagnetism in 5 wt% Mn-doped ZnO n…

ZnWO4 nanocrystals: synthesis, morphology, photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties

2018

The present joint experimental and theoretical work provides in-depth understanding on the morphology and structural, electronic, and optical properties of ZnWO4 nanocrystals. Monoclinic ZnWO4 nanocrystals were prepared at three different temperatures (140, 150, and 160 °C) by a microwave hydrothermal method. Then, the samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy, micro-Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. First-principles theoretical calculations within the framework of density functional the…

Multi-temperature synchrotron PXRD and physical properties study of half-Heusler TiCoSb.

2010

Phase pure samples of the half-Heusler material TiCoSb were synthesised and investigated. Multi-temperature synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data measured between 90 and 1000 K in atmospheric air confirm the phase purity, but they also reveal a decomposition reaction starting at around 750 K. This affects the high temperature properties since TiCoSb is semiconducting, whereas CoSb is metallic. Between 90 K and 300 K the linear thermal expansion coefficient is estimated to be 10.5 × 10(-6) K(-1), while it is 8.49 10(-6) K(-1) between 550 K and 1000 K. A fit of a Debye model to the Atomic Displacement Parameters obtained from Rietveld refinement of the PXRD data gives a Debye tempe…
