The nanotechnologies and their applications encompass many areas. However, because of their unique properties, nanomaterials might have the potential to adversely effects to human health and the environment. The potential risks of nanomaterials such as [...]

Control of solid surface properties by electron beam processing

Vasiljeva I.V., Mjakin S.V., Engineering Technology Center RADIANT, Ltd., RU

The effect of electron beam treatment upon various materials (oxides, sulfides, ceramics, polymers) is studied to clarify the general features of chemical reactions involving surface functional groups in correlation with the process parameters. The mechanisms [...]

Nanostructured LZO Films: Synthesis and Characterizations

Chen H-S, Kumar R.V., University of Cambridge, UK

Nanocrystalline lanthanum zirconium oxide (LZO) films have been successfully synthesized by a wet-chemical route, using dried lanthanum acetate, zirconium propoxide, propoionic acid, acetic acid glacial, and anhydrous methanol. X-ray 2 -scan diffraction patterns of the [...]
