We calculated the hyperfine structure and the zero-field splitting parameters of divacancies in 3C, 4H and 6H SiC in the ground state and in the excited state for 4H SiC within the framework of density functional theory.
Thus, hyperfine (hf) coupling and zero-field splitting (zfs) of high-spin paramagnetic point defects are key quantities in quantum information processing applications, and they are also fingerprints to identify yet unknown defect structures.
If experimental data on hf were known, it would help to identify the microscopic structure of the measured signals.
By comparison of the measured hf values of the divacancy for 4H SiC with our results, we could predict the hf structure of the divacancy in 3C and 6H SiC.

The nanorod seems to be perfect rod morphology instead of bone-like or tear drop structure.
Introduction Synthesis of controlled shape and size of gold nanoparticles have become a central issue in the nanomaterial chemistry field due to their unique dependence of properties on size and shape at this length scale [1].
Among the available shape nanorod received a considerable attention as their unique one dimensional structure and distinguish optical, electronic and catalytic properties.
Meanwhile, other band that centers at 640 nm could be the band associated with the other direction of the plasmon resonance due to the presence of possible anomaly of the structure, such as inconsistency in the diameter of the nanorod (for example nanobone, tear drop and other).
As has been discussed earlier, the presence of only two SPR peaks implied that the formation of the nanostructure might be a perfect rod-shape structure.

The course of cavitation destruction depends mainly on a material structure (grain size, type of inclusions, morphology and phase distribution, etc.) but also on the load distribution, and a possible activity of chemical, electrochemical and thermal processes near cavitation bubbles.
Properties of a material subjected to the cavitation damage are strongly affected by its structure resulting from manufacturing or applied processing.
Generally, in the field of metallic materials both the structure state (grain size, crystallographic texture etc.) and metallurgical quality exhibit the greatest impact on their cavitational erosion resistance [10-12].
Results and discussion The investigated material has single-phase structure of α solid solution of zinc in copper.

X-ray diffraction measurements confirmed that all nickel-iron alloy films formed have face-centered cubic structure.
Thin film nanocrystalline structures offer a new opportunity to improve current magnetic materials.
All the reflection patterns for these samples indicate that the films are having face-centered cubic (FCC) structure.
The crystal structures of the prepared Ni-Fe thin films were FCC.

At the beginning of 2 minutes friction course, wear rate decrease soon that is related to ceramic coating structure.
After 2 minutes, friction object is compact layer which has a compact structure with hardness about 1500 HV.
Ceramic coatings treated by different kind of process have different roughness and island structure of deposit.
Compact layer contains amount of α-Al2O3 superhard phase so that compact structure can prevent the breaking off of ceramic micro particle.

Research on the Long-Lasting and Remelting Properties of Nd Modification Effect on Cast Al-Mg2Si Metal Matrix Composite Yi Si1,a and Kevluzov D.S.2 1Department of Applied Chemistry, Liaoning Petrochemical Vocational and Technology College, Jinzhou, China 2Department of Materials Science, Urgench State University, Urgench City, Uzbekistan ayisi67218917@126.com Keywords: Nd modification, Al-Mg2Si, long-lasting and remelting properties.
After the composite is modified for 300 min and remelted by 6 times, its primary and eutectic Mg2Si structures are still in modification state of small block and slices, and the tensile properties of the composite are not significantly affected.
The effect of rare earth Nd on the structure and properties of the composite at different time of modification and different times of remelting was studied, and the long-term and remelting properties of Nd modification were explored.
After prolonging the modification time to 60min, the primary Mg2Si structure were unchanged, and was still in a small massive modification state; however, compared with the structure of holding for 10min, the eutectic Mg2Si grain became smaller, and the morphology mostly changed from flake to short fiber or particle, as shown in Figure1(c).
When the modification time was extended to 300min, some of the primary Mg2Si grow up slightly, but it was still distributed on the eutectic structure matrix evenly, and it was the refined state after modification, while most of the eutectic Mg2Si grains still kept fine fibrous and granular, as shown in Fig.1(d).

The body-centered cubic structure of silver orthophosphate with 1-10 μm in diameter was successfully synthesized.
However, the doping technique resulted in the defects in structure which suppresses the photocatalytic activities due to increase in the recombination rate of photo-induced electron-hole pair formation [5].
The crystal structure of Ag3PO4 was characterized using XRD (x-ray diffractometer).
The body-centered cubic structure of Ag3PO4 (JCPDS no. 06-0505) was successfully synthesized [6,7].
Summary The body-centered cubic structure of Ag3PO4 with 1-10 μm in diameter could be successfully synthesized.

With minimal microstrain influence, each layer shows different morphologies between the columnar and non columnar structure.
Both Al and Cu layer shows {111} preferred orientation, which has lowest surface energy for f.c.c crystal structure.
The Al layer consists of dense structure which appears to be similar to the (Zone T) structure of the Thornton structure zone model [10].
The electron images reveal that Cu layer has shown a columnar structure while Al layer demonstrate a non columnar - dense structure.
