Author:Bolokang, ASDate:2008Milling was carried out in flowing argon but was interrupted at regular time intervals to take samples for Xray diffraction (XRD). Because of exposure to air during the interruptions the powder was partly oxidized. The oxides formed did not ...Read more
Author:Scriba, Manfred R; Britton, DT; Arendse, C; van Staden, MJ; Härting, MDate:Apr 2009The effect of pressure on the structure and composition of silicon nanoparticles synthesized by hot wire thermal catalytic pyrolysis (HW-TCP) of pure silane has been investigated. Light brown powders were produced at silane pressures of 10 ...Read more
Author:Prins, SN; Cornish, LA; Boucher, PSDate:10 Nov 2005The liquidus surface projection for the Al-Pt-Ru ternary system has been determined based on the micro-structural characterisation of arc-melted alloys. The liquidus surface is dominated by the similarity to RuAl phase, and slopes down to the ...Read more
Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Camagu, ST; Motaung, DE; Bhero, SDate:Mar 2012Stabilization of the metastable FCC phase has been achieved after 10 h milled Co powder sintering at 1400 °C. Phase identification of the Co powders was performed by the X-ray diffraction analysis, while the microstructural analyses were ...Read more

Author:Wilson, KC; Manikandan, E; Basheer Ahamed, M; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:2014We report on surface morphology changes of in situ tin (Sn) doped cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin film nanostructures prepared on a glass substrate using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. Sn-doping in the presence of triethanolammine ...Read more
Author:Leyland, RC; Verryn, S; Momayez, MDate:Sep 2014In terms of aerial extent, basic igneous rocks are one of the most used road building materials in South Africa. This is mainly due to the fact that approximately 57% of the surface lithology in South Africa is of poor road construction ...Read more
Author:Ojuri, OO; Shai, Jonas; Aderibigbe, ADDate:Jan 2017The characterization of the Nigerian Igbokoda Standard Sand was performed by X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman Spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The principal reflections occurring at the d-Spacings of 4.25745, 3.34359, ...Read more
Author:Oliphant, CJ; Arendse, CJ; Prins, SN; Malgas, GF; Knoesen, DDate:Mar 2012In this study we investigate the structural changes of a burnt-out tantalum filament that was operated at typical hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon synthesis conditions in our hot-wire chemical vapour deposition chamber. Scanning electron ...Read more
Author:Jayaramudu, J; Maity, Arjun; Sadiku, ER; Guduri, BR; Rajulu, AV; Ramana, CHVV; Li, RDate:Oct 2011Natural cellulose fabrics were newly identified from the branches of the Cordia dichotoma. The structure of the fabrics was analysed by FTIR and X-ray diffraction. The net-like morphologies of the untreated, bleached and 5% NaOH (alkali) ...Read more
Author:Liu, GQ; Wen, L; Liu, GY; Luo, HZ; Ma, BY; Wu, QY; Tian, YWDate:Aug 2011Spinel compound LiNi0.4Mn1.5Cr0.1O4 (LNMCO) and Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) were synthesized by the sol-gel method and the solid-state method, respectively. The particle sizes of the products LiNi0.4Mn1.5Cr0.1O4 and Li4Ti5O12 were 0.5 to 2 um and 0.5 to ...Read more
Author:Liles, DC; Verhoeven, PFMDate:06 Sep 1996Treatment of [RuHL (5)] (+) (L = PMe (2) Ph) with phenylacetylene in ethanol yielded the dimerization of HC=CPh to (Z)-1, 4-diphenylbut-3-en-1-yne. The molecular structure of [Ru(eta(3)-PhC(3)CHPh)L(4)](PF6) (L = PMe(2)Ph) (2) shows a ...Read more
