Nanotechnology has spurred efforts to design and produce nanoscale components for incorporation into devices. Magnetic nanoparticles are an important class of functional materials, possessing unique magnetic properties due their reduced size (below 100 nm) with potential use in devices dimensions. Recent advances processing by chemical synthesis the characterisation focus this review. Emphasis been placed on various solution chemistry techniques used synthesise particles, including:...
Cobalt carbide nanoparticles were processed using polyol reduction chemistry that offers high product yields in a cost effective single-step process. Particles are shown to be acicular morphology and typically assembled as clusters with room temperature coercivities greater than 3.4 kOe maximum energy products 20 kJ m−3. Consisting of Co3C Co2C phases, the ratio phase volume, particle size all play important roles determining permanent magnet properties. Further, shape provides an...

Curve fitting of extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging, and Scherrer analysis diffraction (XRD) are compared as methods for determining the mean crystallite size in polydisperse samples platinum nanoparticles. By applying techniques to mixtures pure samples, it is found that EXAFS correctly determines relative sizes these while XRD tends be weighted more toward largest crystallites sample.

Cu metallization of AlN substrates was performed using a nonaqueous, electroless, alcohol based approach known as the polyol method. The concentration Cu2O in film depended on orientation during deposition. This is very attractive for metallizing electronic which are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation.
The interaction of nanometer particles with organic materials is important because their increased use in many applications and potential biosystems. We found that liquid crystals respond to differently depending on the surface functionalization nanoparticles using x rays developed a phenomenological model explain differences we observed. from analysis peaks close 0.199 Å−1 inverse integrated intensity serves as measure how well crystal has reoriented compared graph obtained theory...

A number of high-frequency microwave sintering studies alumina have reported that proceeds much faster in furnaces when compared to conventional furnaces, and densification can occur at lower temperatures. These differences motivated the search for a nonthermal enhancement effect such as time-averaged field-induced mass transport proposed by Rybakov Semenov (1994). To assess difference between sintering, presence study millimeter-wave (mm-wave) (35 GHz) has been conducted Naval Research...
