The size and morphology of the samples were also evaluated by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), which allowed us to obtain both TEM and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images. Additionally, STEM was coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for the elemental analysis of samples. The nanoparticles were suspended in ethanol and sonicated for 2 min, after which a small sample was dropped on Formvar-carbon coated grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA, USA) and let to dry overnight. All the measurements were done on a Hitachi HD-2700, type B STEM, operated at 200 kV and the EDS was a Fisons EA1108 CHNS-O Element Analyzer, operated with the furnace at 900 °C and with a helium flow of 120 mL/min.

Epitaxial NdNiO 3 thin films were deposited as precursors onto SrTiO 3 (STO) (100) substrates (Shinkosha Co., Ltd) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at a substrate temperature of 650 °C, an oxygen partial pressure of 13 Pa, a laser (KrF excimer, 248 nm wavelength) fluence of 2 J cm -2 , and a repetition rate of 5 Hz. The obtained precursor films were then reacted with CaH 2 powder (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd) in a Pyrex tube evacuated with a rotary pump. The reaction temperature and reaction time were varied in the ranges of 240-400 °C and 1-24 h, respectively. After the reaction, the film was ultrasonically washed with 2-butanone to remove residual powders from the surface. The crystal structures of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Bruker AXS D8 Discover) with Cu Kα radiation, as well as by high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM, Hitachi High-Technologies Co., HD-2700). The amount of hydrogen within the films was measured by dynamic secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS, ULVAC-PHI PHI-ADEPT1010, primary ion: Cs + , secondary ion: H -, acceleration voltage: 1.0 kV, detection limit: 1 × 10 19 cm -3 , depth resolution: ∼3 nm).

The synthesized
SiO2 NPs were observed by using FE-TEM (Hitachi, HD-2700).
The colloidal stability of NPs was evaluated using dynamic light scattering
(DLS; Otsuka Electronics, ELS-Z2), at the particle concentrations
of approximately 0.1 vol %. N2 adsorption–desorption
isotherms of SiO2 particles were measured by a BELSORP-mini

Seiko Instruments Inc., Japan)) was carried out to estimate the amount
of modifier molecules introduced on the surface of SiO2 particles. The fluorescence spectra of Laurdan in suspensions of
SiO2 NPs were measured at an excitation wavelength of 340
nm at 22 °C by using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (Hitachi
High-Tech Corporation, F-7000).
The ratio of modifier to surface
silanol group (θ) and the volume fraction of modifier to total
particle volume (ϕR) are defined as follows; where Nmod and NSiOH represent the amount
of modifier and silanol group, respectively. VR and Vcore represent the volume
fractions of modifier and core particles, respectively.

Microstructure and structural investigations were performed using a Hitachi HD-2700 high resolution scanning transmission electron microscope -HR-STEM (Naka, Japan) operating at 200 kV and equipped with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy system -EDS (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for chemical analysis. The following STEM modes were used for acquisition of high resolution images: bright field (BF) and high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF), which provides Z-contrast. TEM examinations were performed on thin samples prepared by a Hitachi NB5000 (Naka, Japan) focused ion beam (FIB) system. The cross-sectional samples after FIB method (lamellas) were additionally thinned using low-energy argon ion milling on a Gentle Mill (Technoorg Linda Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). Samples prepared in this way were used for STEM microscopic observations.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
