Author:Linganiso, C; Mhlanga, SD; Coville, NJ; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Mar 2013Synthesis of nickel disulfide (NiS2) nano-alloys capped and uncapped with hexadecylamine (HDA) was carried out. A cubic phase NiS2 formation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. An average crystallite size of 35 nm was obtained ...Read more
Author:Thabethe, S; Linganiso, E; Motaung, D; Mashapa, MG; Nkosi, S; Arendse, CJ; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Nov 2013The procedures for the synthesis of amorphous e-FeSi/Si core–shell nanofibres by vapour transport in a CVD configuration are reported. Crystallite studies by the Williamson-Hall method show the sizes to be typically about 8.0 nm which agrees ...Read more
