Inclusion of Gallium Oxide with Silver Oxide of Tunable Optical Properties for their Unusual Catalytic Performances
Abstract: AgGaO2 nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The crystal was assessed using Scherer equation for the as-prepared nanoparticles and annealed samples of AgGaO2 at 40 and 55 nm, respectively. Silver and gallium nitrates were reacted in an alkaline medium using NaBH4, which was used to reduce particle size. The presence of relatively homogeneous nanocomposites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Morphological studies were analyzed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Vibration …

Study of Diatom Flora in Geothermal Springs of Bakreswar, West Bengal, India
Abstract: AbstractGeothermal springs are mostly formed due to tectonic movements of the earth or volcanic eruptions leading to the release of hot water in the form of artesian wells. The environment is very suitable for the growth of thermophilic Cyanobacteria. Nevertheless, some members ofBacillariophyceae (diatoms) are also found in such geothermal springs, although, very high water temperature and alkaline water is generally not very conducive for diatom growth. The present study …
