A careful investigation of TEM micrographs shows that the shape and size of nanoparticles can be tuned by varying the molarity of piperidine. XRD patterns match the standard phase of the spinal structure of Fe3O4 which confirms the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that molar concentration of FeCl2 solution plays a significant role in determining the shape and size of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Changes in the shape and sizes of Fe3O4 nanoparticles which are influenced by the molar concentration of FeCl2 can easily be explained with the help of surface free energy minimization principle. Further, to study the magnetic behavior of synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles, magnetization vs. magnetic field (M-H) and magnetization vs. temperature (M-T) measurements were carried out by using Physical Property ...

Four iso-conversional methods (Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Tang and Straink) were used to determine various kinetic parameters: crystallization temperature (T α), activation energy of crystallization (E α), Avrami exponent (n α) in non-isothermal mode. The transformation from amorphous to crystalline phase in Se 80 In 10 Pb 10 is considered as a single step reaction mechanism.
Electro-optical, UV absorbance, and UV photoluminescence analysis of Se95In5 chalcogenide glass microparticle doped ferroelectric liquid crystal

The electro-optical parameters of the pure and doped FLC were carried out as a function of applied voltage. The experimental response time and polarization curves for the Se95In5 CGMPs doped FLC have also been theoretically fitted. The presence of Se95In5 CGMPs affects the molecular dynamics of the FLC molecules, which was proved by the Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. The UV absorbance of the pure FLC material has been enhanced in the presence of CGMPs, which is analogous to the coupling between phonons of CGMPs and radiation field. The photoluminescence (PL) of the pure FLC has also been enhanced and blue shifted with the addition of Se95In5 CGMPs. The enhanced PL is attributed to the constructive interaction between low energy phonons of the CGMPs and incident photons of the monochromatic light in the LC medium. The blue shifting of PL emission is due to the enhanced optical band gap of the Se95In5 CGMPs doped FLC. The enhancement in the optical band gap of the CGMPs doped FLC was explained by the model of density states in the composite. Ultra-violet lasing, UV filtering, and optical band gap engineering are the possible applications of the investigated Se95In5 CGMPs doped FLC material.

For this, simultaneous measurements of effective thermal conductivity (l e) and effective thermal diffusivity (c e) are used at room temperature for twin pellets of Se, Se 90 In 10 and Se 90 Zn 10 alloys using transient plane source (TPS) technique. It has been found that In and Zn additives changes significantly the values of thermo-physical properties (thermal conductivity, diffusivity and specific heat per unit volume) of a-Se studied in the present work. The results have been analyzed in terms of average bond strength and effective molecular weight of the binary alloys.

The activation energy of glass transition (E g) is calculated using Kissinger's relation, which is basically derived for amorphous to crystalline phase transition. The results show that E g values obtained from Kissinger's relation are in good agreement with the E g values which are obtained using Moynihan's relation based on the concept of thermal relaxation. This proves the applicability of Kissinger's relation for determination of activation energy of glass transition.

X-ray diffraction pattern confirms the rhombohedral phase of as synthesized Bi 2 Te 3 sample. The electrical conductivity ( σ ) and dielectric properties of as synthesized Bi 2 Te 3 nanotubes were investigated. The metallic behavior (d σ /d T 2 Te 3 nanotubes was observed and Debye theory was applied to demonstrate the dielectric relaxation behavior of Bi 2 Te 3 nanotubes. Bi 2 Te 3 nanotubes with high dielectric constant ( e ′∼30–3178) and low dielectric loss (tan δ ∼0.04–4.04) confirms that capacitors of capacity ( C ∼41–2296 pF) may be fabricated which will be useful for storage of renewable energy in various practical devices.

Nonstoichiometric (Cu 2 À x Se) and stoichiometric (CuSe, b-Cu 2 Se and Cu 2 Se) copper selenide ... more Nonstoichiometric (Cu 2 À x Se) and stoichiometric (CuSe, b-Cu 2 Se and Cu 2 Se) copper selenide hexagonal nanoplates have been synthesized using different general and convenient copper sources, e.g. copper chloride, copper sulphate, copper nitrate, copper acetate, elemental copper with elemental selenium, friendly ethylene glycol and hydrazine hydrate in a defined amount of water at 100 1C within 12 h adopting the solvothermal method. Phase analysis, purity and morphology of the product have been well studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDAX) techniques. The structural and compositional analysis revealed that the products were of pure phase with corresponding atomic ratios. SEM, TEM and HRTEM analyses revealed that the nanoplates were in the range 200-450 nm and the as-prepared products were uniform and highly crystallized. The nanoplates consisted of {0 0 1} facets of top-bottom surfaces and {1 1 0} facets of the other six side surfaces. This new approach encompasses many advantages over the conventional solvothermal method in terms of product quality (better morphology control with high yield) and reaction conditions (lower temperatures). Copper selenide hexagonal nanoplates obtained by the described method could be potential building blocks to construct functional devices and solar cell. This work may open up a new rationale on designing the solution synthesis of nanostructures for materials possessing similar intrinsic crystal symmetry. On the basis of the carefully controlled experiments mentioned herein, a plausible formation mechanism of the hexagonal nanoplates was suggested and discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on nonstoichiometric (Cu 2 À x Se) as well as stoichiometric (CuSe, b-Cu 2 Se and Cu 2 Se) copper selenide hexagonal nanoplates with such full control of morphologies and phases by this method under mild conditions.

Present work report a general, single step and easy solvothermal method to synthesize well crystalline, pure and Eu 3+ doped ZnSe nanocrystals in a unified system. The products were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDAX) and by Raman spectroscopy. Semiconducting NPs exhibiting cubic phases were obtained at low temperature under mild conditions. The products were found to show significant finite size effect as characterized by broadened XRD peaks, blue shift of the interband optical absorption edge and by Raman scatterings. The structure and properties were correlated and detailed growth mechanism has also been discussed.

Nearly homogeneous green luminescent copper telluride (Cu 2 Te) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized in a single reaction at 70°C within 9 h by a wet chemical method. The method ensures almost complete utilization of the precursors with a very high productive yield. The product was well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. XRD, TEM, and HRTEM analysis revealed that the diameters of the particles are in the range of 25-30 nm. The described protocol allows a precise control and a synchronized isolation of aliquots of Cu 2 Te nanoparticles with defined sizes, avoiding disturbance of the growth of nanocrystals (existing in the reaction mixture) to the isolation of the next aliquot.

Measurements of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of twin pellets of Se 80 Te 20-x In ... more Measurements of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of twin pellets of Se 80 Te 20-x In x (x = 2, 4, 6 and 10) glasses, prepared under a load of 5 tons were carried out at room temperature using transient plane source (TPS) technique. The measured values of both thermal conductivity and diffusivity were used to determine the specific heat per unit volume of the said materials in the composition range of investigation. Results indicated that both the values of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increased with the addition of indium at the cost of tellurium whereas the specific heat remained almost constant. This compositional dependence behaviour of the thermal conductivity and diffusivity has been explained in terms of the iono-covalent type of bond which In makes with Se as it is incorporated in the Se-Te glass.

The glass-transition temperature T_{\mathrm{g}}$$Tg and peak glass-transition temperature T_{\mathrm{pg}}$$Tpg have been determined from DSC thermograms. The reduced glass temperature T_{\mathrm{rg}}$$Trg, total relaxation time \tau _{T_{g}}$$τTg thermal-stability parameters K^{l}$$Kl and S$$S, the activation energy of glass transition E_{\mathrm{g}}$$Eg, the fragility index F_{\mathrm{i}}$$Fi, and the average coordination number \langle Z\rangle 〈Z〉 have been calculated on the basis of the experimental results. The temperature differences (T_{\mathrm{c}}-T_{\mathrm{g}}), K_{\mathrm{gl}}, K^{l}, S$$(Tc-Tg),Kgl,Kl,S, and E_{\mathrm{g}}$$Eg are found to be maxima for \mathrm{Se}_{80}\mathrm{In}_{10}\mathrm{Pb}_{10}$$Se80In10Pb10 glass. This indicates that \mathrm{Se}_{80}\mathrm{In}_{10}\mathrm{Pb}_{10}$$Se80In10Pb10 glass has the highest thermal stability and glass-forming ability in the investigated compositional range. These results could be explained on the basis of modification of the chemical bond formation due to incorporation of Pb in the Se–In glassy matrix.

Present work report a general, single step and easy solvothermal method to synthesize well crystalline, pure and Eu 3+ doped ZnSe nanocrystals in a unified system. The products were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDAX) and by Raman spectroscopy. Semiconducting NPs exhibiting cubic phases were obtained at low temperature under mild conditions. The products were found to show significant finite size effect as characterized by broadened XRD peaks, blue shift of the interband optical absorption edge and by Raman scatterings. The structure and properties were correlated and detailed growth mechanism has also been discussed.

Nearly homogeneous green luminescent copper telluride (Cu 2 Te) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized in a single reaction at 70°C within 9 h by a wet chemical method. The method ensures almost complete utilization of the precursors with a very high productive yield. The product was well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. XRD, TEM, and HRTEM analysis revealed that the diameters of the particles are in the range of 25-30 nm. The described protocol allows a precise control and a synchronized isolation of aliquots of Cu 2 Te nanoparticles with defined sizes, avoiding disturbance of the growth of nanocrystals (existing in the reaction mixture) to the isolation of the next aliquot.

The measured values of both thermal conductivity and diffusivity were used to determine the specific heat per unit volume of the said materials in the composition range of investigation. Results indicated that both the values of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increased with the addition of indium at the cost of tellurium whereas the specific heat remained almost constant. This compositional dependence behaviour of the thermal conductivity and diffusivity has been explained in terms of the iono-covalent type of bond which In makes with Se as it is incorporated in the Se-Te glass.

The average activation energy of crystallization and the activation energy of glass transition were found to be 102.3 and 124.2kJ/mol, respectively. The Se75Te10Cd10In5 multi-component chalcogenide glass is more stable than Se75Te15Cd10 ternary glass. The non-integer
