Powellite type molybdate-based red phosphors CaGd1 xNb-MoO8: xEu3+ (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30) were synthesized by a solid-state reaction (SSR) route, and a citrate gel (CG) route. The crystalline structure, ...

Polycrystalline bulk samples of SmFeAsO1−xFx with 0 ≤x≤0.4 are synthesized at a temperature as low as 850 ◦C using a partially reacted precursor. The temperature dependence of resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements ...

CdZnS nanoparticles with variable size within the range of 2–13 nm have been synthesized using the chemical precipitation method. Size dependent exciton lifetime and photocatalytic activity has been studied in search of a ...

Star-shaped molecules consisting of a 1,3,4-oxadiazole core derivatized with alkoxy-substituted phenyl ethynylenes, FD12 (dodecyl) and FD16 (hexadecyl) were synthesized. These molecules exhibited enantiotropic columnar ...
