        Nanocrystalline boron doped tin oxide and boron and silver co-doped SnO2 was successfully prepared by using simple sol-gel method. The structural property of as-prepared nanocrystalline materials was investigated by using X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The infrared spectra of the prepared samples showed an incorporation of B and Ag in the SnO2 nanocrystals. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the as prepared sample demonstrated the formation of a rutile structure of SnO2 nanocrystallites with particle size of 35 nm and 98 nm for boron doped and co-doped samples respectively. The two different Sn-O bond distances are found to be varying in a different manner for the doped samples unlike pristine samples. A significant lattice microstrain was observed for co-doped samples indicating local lattice distortion. The prepared samples showed significant anti-microbial activities against some Gram-Positive & Gram-Negative bacteria in both water and DMSO medium. The prepared materials can be effective for water remediation. تفاصيل المقالة

        Cobalt oxide thin films at varied molar concentrations were prepared by electrodeposition technique. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV/VIS) analysis conducted on the grown films revealed blue shift in the absorption edge at increased molar concentrations, which is a consequence of band gap widening. The band gap values (3.65 eV to 3.85 eV) in this research are greater than the value (2.4 eV) for the bulk phase of cobalt oxide. This increase in band gap can be likened to higher concentration effect and quantum-size phenomenon. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis indicated a porous nature for the material, suggesting its ability in absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thus confirming its use as an absorber material for solar cells fabrication. Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) study confirmed the growth of cobalt oxide. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the crystalline nature of the films with grain sizes within the range of 0.7 nm to 1 nm for varied molar concentrations. Electrical studies reveal a linear relationship of resistivity values with molar concentrations, while the conductivity values reveal inverse relationship with molar concentration. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractNanocrystalline Pb1–3x/2GdxTiO3 (where x = 0.01) abbreviated as PGT has been synthesised by high energy ball milling at room temperature. X-ray analysis shows that single-phase tetragonal structure of nanocrystalline PGT was formed after 15-h milling. The average crystallite size was found to be 17 nm. The frequency-dependent AC conductivity of the PGT ceramic was studied in the range 100°C to 525°C. Complex impedance analysis suggested the dielectric relaxation to be of non-Debye type. The activation energy was found to be 1.04 ev. The mechanism of charge transport in nanocrystalline PGT was successfully explained by correlated hopping model. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractNanocrystalline α-MoO3 thin films were prepared successfully by thermal annealing of molybdenum (Mo) thin films deposited on quartz and silicon substrates using DC magnetron sputtering method. The influence of annealing temperatures ranging from 400 to 1,000 °C on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the prepared films was investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) atomic force microscopic and UV–vis spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that the crystallinity and surface morphology of the films are strongly dependent on the annealing temperature. Also, the optimum annealing temperature of Mo films in our experiment was 600 °C and the films formed at this temperature exhibit only the (0k0) reflections and indicated the layered structure of α-MoO3. The FTIR spectra confirm the formation of MoO3. The transmittance of the MoO3 films on quartz substrate was improved with increasing annealing temperature. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractDifferent optical characterization techniques have been performed on a series of microcrystalline silicon thin films deposited using very high-frequency-assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. The constant photocurrent method has been employed to study the defects states in density of states spectra of hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon thin films. The photocurrent measurements demonstrate anisotropy in the optoelectronic properties of the material. We have analyzed the optical absorption coefficient from UV spectroscopy and with the help of constant photocurrent method. The spectra have been analyzed in broad region and are presented for both the cases, i.e., surface and bulk light scatterings. The spectra were interpreted in terms of disorder, resulting defect density, crystalline/amorphous volume fractions and material morphology. The subgap-related parameters such as absorption coefficient, characteristic energy E0 of tail states and density of subgap defect states together with an estimate of the bandgap of silicon films prepared at various crystalline fractions have also been estimated. The density of localized tail states is found to fall exponentially toward the gap with band tail width of about 110 meV. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractThe microstructure of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2), synthesized by chemical route, is studied from X-ray peak profile analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks indicates the presence of small crystallites with a significant amount of disorder. The progression of broadening at lower annealing temperatures, suggests the decrease in the strain broadening. The nano-TiO2 was found to transform partially to rutile phase from its nanocrystalline anatase phase when annealed at a temperature of 750 °C. No further appreciable change was observed after annealing at higher temperature. The lattice parameters of the anatase phase change non-linearly with temperature. It was found that there is a discontinuous change in the value of crystallite size, microstrain and thermal parameter values accompanying with the phase transformation. The microstrain associated with the nanocrystalline grain is closely associated with thermal disorder and oxygen z-displacement. The value of thermal parameter reveals a significant deviation of the Ti atom from the regular lattice sites. The present study reveals that nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 prepared by chemical route shows significant static disorder, which decreases with the increase in the annealing temperature along with concomitant phase transformation. تفاصيل المقالة

        AbstractNanocrystalline nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were successfully grown on quartz substrates by two-step method. In the first step, nickel films were deposited on quartz substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Then, the plasma oxidation of nickel films was used for preparation of nickel oxide. The effect of DC plasma power and treatment time on the structural, morphological and optical properties of the NiO films were investigated by different analyses. XRD results indicated that the plasma powers effectively influenced the structure of films, and the best crystallinity was obtained for plasma power of 15 w and treatment time of 20 min. The XPS, RBS and EDS analysis confirmed the presence of Ni and O elements. The FESEM and AFM images showed a granular structure with spherical shapes of grains. The optical band gap of the films synthesized under different plasma oxidation conditions was also discussed. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, Taguchi method is applied to find optimum process parameters for turning UD-GFRP rods using polycrystalline diamond cutting tool. The process parameters considered include cutting speed, depth of cut, cutting environment (dry and wet) and feed rate. The experiments were conducted by L16 orthogonal array as suggested by Taguchi. Signal to Noise ratio and ANOVA are employed to analyses the effect of turning process parameter on the tangential cutting force. The results from confirmation runs indicated that the determined optimal combination of machining parameters improved the performance of the machining process. The percent contributions of cutting speed (2.46%), depth of cut (73.82%), dry and wet (3.89%) and feed rate (8.02%) in affecting the variation of tangential force are significantly larger (95 % confidence level). It has been found that the wet cutting environment reduces the tangential force. Depth of cut is the factor, which has great influence on tangential force, followed by feed rate. تفاصيل المقالة

        Besides experimental methods, numerical simulations bring benefits and great opportunities to characterize and predict mechanical behaviors of materials especially at nanoscale. In this study, a nano-single crystal aluminum (Al) as a typical face centered cubic (FCC) metal was modeled based on molecular dynamics (MD) method and by applying tensile and compressive strain loadings its mechanical behaviors were investigated. Embedded atom method (EAM) was employed to represent the interatomic potential of the system described by a canonical ensemble. Stress-strain curves and mechanical properties including modulus of elasticity, Poisson’s ratio, and yield strength were determined. Furthermore, the effects of strain rate and system temperature on mechanical behavior were obtained. It was found that the mechanical properties exhibited a considerable dependency to temperature, but they hardly changed with increase of strain rate. Moreover, nucleation and propagation of dislocations along the plane of maximum shearing stress were the mechanisms of the nanocrystalline Al plastic deformation. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study the effect of crystallite size reduction and microstructure on the electrochemical corrosion behavior of nanocrystalline nickel (NC Ni) were investigated using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements in 10 wt.% NaOH. NC Ni coatings were produced by direct current electrodeposition using chloride baths in presence and absence of saccharin as a grain refining agent. The crystallite size of NC surface coatings was calculated and analyzed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to study coatings microstructure. The chemical composition of NC surfaces was determined using X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Our results showed Saccharin decreased the crystallite size but increased the grain size. In addition, corrosion resistance of NC Ni in presence of saccharin increased, which is ascribed to the formation of more stable and protective film. The behavior of passive film growth and corrosion were discussed. تفاصيل المقالة

In this research, nano crystalline Fe85Si10Ni5 soft magnetic alloy was synthesized by mechanical alloying. The effect of alloying time on phase constituents and magnetic properties of the produced powders was investigated, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM). The XRD results showed that alloy formation started after 2 hours of milling. Further milling resulted in the reduction of the grain size and lattice parameter. After 60 hours of milling, the grain size was reduced to 8 nm. AGFM results showed that magnetic saturation and coercivity depends on the alloying time. Increasing the alloying time, causes the increase of magnetic saturation and decrease of coercivity. Abstract There are various methods to produce iron based nano crystalline magnetic alloys.

        Nanocrystalline strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) powders have been successfully synthesized using the facile Co-precipitation method. The ferrite precursors were achieved from mixtures of strontium and ferric chloride in an aqueous medium without any surfactant and soft template. The as-received powders were calcined at 800 and 1000 ˚C for 2 hours in air. The final powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET surface area analysis and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The effects of the calcination temperature on the phase composition, particle size and shape as well as the magnetic properties of the products have been investigated. The results indicated that the higher calcination temperature (1000 oC) resulted in higher particle sizes (98.1 nm), maximum saturation magnetization (60.53 emu/g), remanence value (36.23 emu/g) and less surface area (12 m2g-1). The magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, K, calculated from the Stoner–Wohlfarth theory are increased by increasing temperature up to 15.1 (HA2/kg). تفاصيل المقالة

        In the present research, amorphous Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 Finemet foils, 21-26µm in thickness and 5mm in width, were prepared by Planar Flow Casting (PFC) process. Wound cores of amorphous Finemet foils were simultaneously annealed and heat treated at 540°C for 60, 120 and 240 minutes in steam and air flow to form oxide insulating coating layer on both surfaces of the foils. The structure of nanocrystalline foils was examined by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The thickness and chemical composition of the insulating coating layer were studied by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Grazing Incidence XRD (GI-XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The results show that the coating thickness formed on air and wheel surfaces of the foil was in the range of 65-310 nm and these thin coating layers contain a mixture of iron, silicon, boron and niobium oxides. The study of magnetic properties in amorphous and nanocrystalline states revealed that nanocrystalline cores have superior soft magnetic properties compared with the amorphous ones. In other words, the heat treatment gives rise to a decrease in hysteresis loss and a significant increase in saturation induction and magnetic permeabilities. تفاصيل المقالة

        Nanocrystalline materials show a higher strain-rate sensitivity in contrast to the conventional coarse-grained materials and a different grain size dependency. To explain these phenomenon, a finite element model is constructed that considers both grain interior and grain boundary deformation of nanocrystalline materials. The model consist of several crystalline cores with different orientations and grain boundary phase. The nonlinear behavior of the nanocrystalline core is implemented by a grain size dependent crystal plasticity. The boundary phase is assumed to have the mechanical properties of quasi-amorphous material. The constitutive equations for both grains interior and boundary phase are implemented into the finite-element software Abaqus. A calibration procedure was used to tune some parameters of the model with the previously published experimental data on the nanocrystalline copper. Then the model is used to predict the material behavior in various strain rates and grain sizes. The stresses obtained from these simulations match well with the experimental data for nanocrystalline copper at different strains and strain rates. Deviation from the Hall-Petch law and inverse Hall-Petch effect are also well illustrated by the model. تفاصيل المقالة

        An aqueous extract of Pimpinella anisum was used for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles by bio reduction of an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. Silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The increase in absorption at 420 nm was used for recording the formation of a colloidal suspension of silver nanoparticles. The binding properties of the capped Ag nanoparticles synthesized from aqueous extract of P. anisum were analyzed by FTIR. XRD studies revealed that most of the nanoparticles were cubic and face centered cubic in shape. SEM analysis showed the size and shape of silver nanoparticles and EDAX confirmed the presence of silver. The synthesized silver nanoparticles showed DPPH free radical scavenging activity. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this paper, the performance of the cutting tool with nanocrystalline multilayer coatings (TiN+TiAlN) for machining of superalloy Inconel 718 in the dry and wet conditions was studied. The multi layer TiN and TiAlN with nanocrystalline structure was applied by physical vapor deposition technique (arc evaporation) on the WC-Co inserts. The results of the ball on disc wear test and the machining of superalloy Inconel 718 in wet and dry conditions indicated that the nanocrystalline coatings could produce better performance of tools in turning. Abrasion and adhesive wear resistance improved by nanocrystalline and modified Aluminum composition in TiAlN coating as well as toughness and thermal stability. تفاصيل المقالة
