    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. Manuscript profile

    2 - Applicability of diffraction elastic constants to rationalize anisotropic broadening of X-ray diffraction line profiles from deformed metals
    Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics , Issue 1 , Year , Winter 2023

    A simple method, to rationalize anisotropic X-ray line widths of deformed FCC metallic samples is presented. The method is based on normalized Diffraction Elastic Constant ratio (DECR) within the framework of Stokes Wilson approximation and Gaussian microstrain distribution. The observed dispersion in classical Williamson-Hall plot was significantly reduced if DECR based correction was applied to the integral breadths. Classical grain interaction models such as the Reuss and Reuss-Voigt average (Neerfeld-Hill) models were used to calculate the elastic constants of deformed polycrystals of Aluminium and Copper. It is observed that if non-uniform microstrains are present in the sample (mostly in the case of dislocated crystals) then the Reuss model is more appropriate than the Reuss-Voigt average model and is observed in the case of filed or ball-milled samples of Cu and Al. The non-linearity in the anisotropy corrected Williamson-Hall is indicative of line widening caused by the dislocation. Manuscript profile
