Solvothermal and hydrothermal synthesis, that is, synthesis taking place in a solvent at
elevated temperature and pressure, is a powerful technique for the production of advanced …

Because of its electrically conducting properties combined with excellent thermal stability
and transparency throughout the visible spectrum, tin oxide (SnO2) is extremely attractive as …

This paper addresses both old, but “renovated” methods and new methods for diffraction line-
profile analysis. Classical and even extremely simple single-line methods for separating …

Anisotropic, ie hkl-dependent microstrain broadening of Bragg peaks as observed in powder-
diffraction measurements often obstructs finding a good description of the peak profiles …

This is the first book covering the theory, practicalities, and the extensive applications of
neutron powder diffraction in materials science, physics, chemistry, mineralogy and …

The present work traces the evolution of the modeling of the diffraction line profiles in the
Rietveld method, starting from the early and most schematic description with Gaussian …

The deformations of isotropic and anisotropic Ti-6Al-4V columnar structures fabricated by
additive manufacturing were extensively examined. The distinct texture and microstructure …

Nanocrystalline materials reveal excellent mechanical properties but the mechanism by
which they deform is still debated. X-ray line broadening indicates the presence of large …

We report a photodetector consisting of electrospun SnO 2 nanofibers (NFs) on an n-type Si
wafer as the SnO 2 NFs/n-Si heterojunction architecture. The microstructure analysis of the …

In metal additive manufacturing (MAM), microstructural properties such as texture, residual
stresses, and dislocation density have emerged as key factors ruling the resulting …
