Structural characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mineral was found to be gibbsite in phase. The transitional metal ions present were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical absorption spectra. The EPR results suggest that Fe3+ has replaced Al3+ in the unit cell of bauxite. The optical absorption spectrum is due to Fe3+ which indicates that it is in distorted octahedral environment. The near-infrared (NIR) spectrum is due to water fundamentals and combination overtones, which confirm the formula of the compound. The impurities in the mineral are identified using spectroscopic techniques.展开更多

It was revealed that the epitaxial growth of the LSMO (110) phase was promoted under higher temperature accompanying the suppression of other competitive growth of the LSMO (001) and (111) phases. Supplying the plasma oxygen accelerated the suppression of the LSMO (111) phase. The complex epitaxial orientational relationships in these three growth modes were revealed from the precise analyses with the high resolution out-of-plane XRD and the in-plane XRD measurements, pole figure measurements, and reciprocal space mappings measurements, as [112ˉ](111)LSMO//[11ˉ00](0001)ZnO//[112ˉ0](0001)Sap, [110ˉ](111LSMO)//[11ˉ00](0001)Zno//[112ˉ0](0001)Sap, and [110](001)LSMO//[11ˉ00](0001)Zno//[112ˉ0](0001)Sap. The validity of this model for the epitaxial orientational relationships in LSMO/ZnO/sapphire double heteroepitaxial layers was confirmed identically with the data ana- lyses of the out-of-plane wide-range Reciprocal Space Mapping using the 2-dimensional X-ray detector.展开更多
The microwave synthesis of MnC204.2H2O nanoparticles was performed through the thermal double decomposition of oxalic acid dihydrate (C2H204.2H20) and Mn(OAc)2.4H2O solutions using a CATA-2R microwave reactor.

Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), particle size and shape were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The chemical in the structures was investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) as well as optical absorption spectra and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopies. The nanocrystals produced with this method were pure and had a distorted rhombic octahedral structure.Manganese oxalate展开更多
