Most marketed pharmaceuticals consist of molecular crystals. The arrangement of the
molecules in a crystal determines its physical properties and, in certain cases, its chemical …

Background Rising criticism of currently available contrast agents for magnetic resonance
imaging, either due to their side effects or limited possibilities in terms of functional imaging …

A method to analyze powder-diffraction line broadening is proposed and applied to some
novel high-T c superconductors. Assuming that both size-broadened and strain-broadened …

The amalgamated effect of hot-rolling, rapid cooling and heat treatment on the grain
refinement and the resultant mechanical properties of an intermetallic sheet of nominal …

The α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via sol–gel technique.
The lattice parameters, the lattice strain and crystallite size were investigated by X-ray …

Due to the dominance of non-densifying sintering mechanisms (surface diffusion and
evaporation condensation) pure tin oxide ceramics exhibit unusual sintering behavior that …

Details of the synthesis and structural and physical characterization of oxides with the
nominal composition NaTiO2 are presented. The highest sodium loading we have achieved …

Fe3O4/ZnO nanocomposites (NCs) are prepared by a wet chemical route. X-ray diffraction,
transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies …

Abstract Sol-gel derived, Sn (1-x) Al x O 2 (x= 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) nanoparticles
displayed tetragonal rutile structure without any second phase as confirmed by X-Ray …

Contrary to the characteristic strengthening of polycrystalline ceramics with a decrease in
grain size, extremely fine nanocrystalline ceramics exhibit softening, increased plasticity and …
