Intriguing luminescence properties of (Ba, Sr)<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>6</sub>O<sub>9</sub>N<sub>4</sub>

Eu<sup>2+</sup> phosphors via modifying synthesis method and cation substitution

Synthesizing pure phase Ba3Si6O9N4 by the conventional solid-state reaction method is challenging because of easily formed secondary phase Ba3Si6O12N2 showing similar crystal structure. In this work, an alternative low temperature synthesis method is presented, and a series of gr ...

Fluidized Nanoparticle Agglomerates

Formation, Characterization, and Dynamics

Nanoparticles have properties of interest in biology, physics, ecology, geology, chemistry, medicine, aerospace, food science, and engineering among many other fields, due to their intrinsic properties arising from their large surface area to volume ratio and small scale. Most na ...
Fluidization is a technique used to process large quantities of nanopowder with no solvent waste and a large gas–solid contact area. Nonetheless, nanoparticles in the gas phase form clusters, called agglomerates, due to the relatively large adhesion forces. The dynamics within th ...
Efficient nanopowder processing requires knowledge of the powder’s mechanical properties. Due to the large surface area to volume ratio, nanoparticles experience relatively strong attractive interactions, leading to the formation of micron-size porous structures called agglomerat ...
The release of nanosized particles from fluidized beds of ceramic oxide nanopowders, namely, TiO2 (P25), Al2O3 (AluC) and SiO2 (A130) has been assessed for the first time. Previous models and experiments for processing engineered nanoparticles (ENP) using fluidized beds reported ...
Nanoparticles surrounded by gas agglomerate in a hierarchical fashion. From production until powder processing in the gas phase, nanoparticles go from individual particles to aggregates, simple agglomerates, and complex agglomerates. Even though the structures at each level have ...
