The surface morphology and structure of the cubic stoichiometric spinel LiMn2O4powder prepared by microwave heating were examined using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmittance electron microcopy. It is shown that the surface morphology of LiMn2O4particle changed with increasing preparing temperature, while the crystal structure kept unchanged. Novel nanostructured morphologies including nanorods and nanowhiskers were formed under appropriate synthesis conditions. The growth mechanism of the nanostructured morphology of spinel LiMn2O4was discussed in accordance with period bonding chains (PBCs) theory.

Surface morphology and crystal structure of iron borate, FeBO3, annealed at different temperatures, have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The temperature range of structurally stability of iron borate has been determined. It has been established that in the range of temperatures 800–900°C recrystallization in the iron orthoborate Fe3BO6 phase, and more than 900°C − in α-Fe2O3 phase, occurs.

During screening of the phase space using KOH and 1-methyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane hydroxide (1-methyl-DABCO) under hydrothermal zeolite synthesis conditions, K-paracelsian was synthesized. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and ex situ powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a material that is compositionally closely related to the mineral microcline and structurally closely related to the mineral paracelsian, both of which are feldspars. In contrast to the feldspars, K-paracelsian contains intrazeolitic water corresponding to one molecule per cage. In the case of K-paracelsian it might be useful to consider it a link between feldspars and zeolites. It was also shown that K-paracelsian can be described as the simplest endmember of a family of dense double-crankshaft zeolite topologies. By applying the identified building principle, a number of known zeolite topologies can be constructed. Furthermore, it facilitates the construction of a range of hypothetical small-pore structures that are crystallo-chemically healthy, but which have not yet been realized experimentally.

BiFeO3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method by a mineralizer (KNO3). Structural characterization was performed by thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (TEM).The results showed that the products were perovskite structure BiFeO3 powders. Optimal conditions for the synthesis of single-phase BiFeO3 ceramics were obtained.

Gallium nitride ( GaN ): nanostructured materials are synthesized by ammoniating Ga2O3/Nb films which are deposited in turn on Si(111) substrates at 900°C. The morphology and structure of the nanostructured materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Optical property of GaN nanostructured materials are analyzed by photoluminescence (PL). The results demonstrated that as-synthesized nanostructured materials are hexagonal wurtzite-structured. Ammoniating time of the samples has an evident influence on the morphology of GaN nanostructured materials synthesized by this method. The PL spectra indicate good emission property for the nanostructured materials. Finally, the growth mechanism is also briefly discussed.

Solid solutions of Pb(8−x)Na2Smx(VO4)6O(x/2)were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis including Rietveld refinement and scanning electron microscopy and by measuring their electrical conductivity. Crystal structure of the solid solutions was refined and the solubility region0≤x≤0.2was determined for samarium substitution for lead under the scheme2Pb2++□→2Sm3++O2-. The influence of degree of substitution on the electrical conductivity of solid solutions was established.

In this paper, we reported a facile microwave-assisted green chemical route to prepare pure, uniform, and monodispersed Cu2O octahedron wrapped by the {111} faces by using glucose as a reducing agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDX) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized products. It was found that the morphology and structure of Cu2O crystals were greatly affected by the concentration of NaOH. A solid-solution-solid growth mechanism was possibly proposed on the basis of the comparative experimental results.

Crystalline barium cerate was synthesized by oxalate coprecipitation from nitrates of barium and cerium [1]. The oxalate precursor prepared by chemical methods was calcined at different temperatures up to 950°C. The barium cerate was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction investigation enables the determination of the phases that originate at different stages of synthesis and the crystal structure of final barium cerate, as well. From XRD patterns the average size of coherent regions was estimated by using Halder-Wagner method [2]. Both size and shape of crystallites were also studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that crystallites of barium cerate arise within the initial particles of the oxalate precursor.

2-Amino-3-hydroxypyridinium dioxido(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato-κ3O2,N,O6)vanadate(V), (C5H7N2O)[V(C7H3NO4)O2] or [H(amino-3-OH-py)][VO2(dipic)], (I), was prepared by the reaction of VCl3with dipicolinic acid (dipicH2) and 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine (amino-3-OH-py) in water. The compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis, and consists of an anionic [VO2(dipic)]−complex and an H(amino-3-OH-py)+counter-cation. The VVion is five-coordinated by oneO,N,O′-tridentate dipic dianionic ligand and by two oxide ligands. Thermal decomposition of (I) in the presence of polyethylene glycol led to the formation of nanoparticles of V2O5. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the synthesized powder.

Bi0.9Pr0.1Fe1-xTixO3 ceramics were prepared by a rapid liquid sintering method. The structure of samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Ti substitution leads to some changes in the crystal structure of Bi0.9Pr0.1FeO3, which also significantly affects the dielectric constant and loss.
