In this work, PbO networks composed of single crystalline nanosheets were synthesized utilizing a simple, low cost and rapid chemical precipitation method. The PbO networks were prepared in a single reaction vessel from starting reagents of lead acetate dehydrate, ammonium hydroxide and deionized water. Lead acetate dehydrate was chosen as a reagent, as opposed to lead nitrate, to eliminate the possibility of nitrate contamination of the final product. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis were used to characterize the synthesized PbO networks. The reproducible method described herein synthesized pure β-PbO (massicot) powders, with no byproducts. A possible formation mechanism for these PbO networks is proposed. The growth is found to proceed predominately in the 〈1 1 1〉 and 〈2 0 0〉 directions while being limited in the 〈0 1 1〉 direction.}, journal={MATERIALS RESEARCH BULLETIN}, author={Samberg, Joshua P. and Kajbafvala, Amir and Koolivand, Amir}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={356–360} } @misc{banadaki_kajbafvala_2014, title={Recent advances in facile synthesis of bimetallic nanostructures: An overview}, journal={Journal of Nanomaterials}, author={Banadaki, A.

The Ag/Al alloys are fabricated by powder metallurgy and internally oxidized in pure oxygen. The time and temperature of the internal oxidation heat treatment is varied to maximize the strength after undergoing the Bi2212 partial melt process (PMP). Vickers micro-hardness number (HVN), room temperature tensile behavior, optical and scanning electron microscopy, ion channeling contrast imaging using a focused ion beam and electrical resistivity measurements are used to characterize the alloys. An Ag/0.2wt%Mg (Ag/Mg) alloy is used for comparison. Results show that internal oxidation at 650–700  ° C for 4 h produces the highest HVN for the DS Ag/Al alloy; when oxidized at 675 ° C for 4 h the HVN, yield strength and tensile strength of the DS Ag/Al are 50% higher than the corresponding values of Ag/Mg. Microstructural observations show that Al2O3 precipitates play the main role in strengthening the DS Ag/Al alloy.

DS is an effective method for producing a fine grain metallurgical structure that is resistant to softening during high-temperature heat treatment. Here, DS Ag/0.5-wt.% Al (AgAl) alloy sheet is produced using powder metallurgy and is compared with Ag/0.2-wt.% Mg (AgMg) alloy, which is currently the most common alloy used for Bi2212 wire. Room temperature (RT), 77- and 4.0-K tensile tests, Vickers microhardness, optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and electrical resistivity measurements are compared. Furthermore, Bi2212/AgMg and Bi2212/AgAl wires are produced and compared for short-sample and coil Ic (4.2 K; self-field). It is found that the AgAl solid wire shows high yield stress and ultimate tensile strength in the annealed condition at both RT and 4.0 K, as well as significant ductility at 4.0 K. Electrical transport measurements show that the Bi2212/AgAl wires perform as well or better than Bi2212/AgMg wires. Furthermore, no leakage is observed after partial melt processing (PMP) of Bi2212/AgAl spirals. After PMP, the Bi2212/AgAl wire not only has yield and tensile stresses slightly higher than those of the Bi2212/AgMg wire but also exhibits >; 2% elongation, which is several times higher than that of Bi2212/AgMg.}, number={1}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON APPLIED SUPERCONDUCTIVITY}, author={Kajbafvala, Amir and Nachtrab, William and Lu, Xi Feng and Hunte, Frank and Liu, Xiaotao and Cheggour, Najib and Wong, Terence and Schwartz, Justin}, year={2012}, month={Feb} } @article{kajbafvala_samberg_ghorbani_kajbafvala_sadrnezhaad_2012, title={Effects of initial precursor and microwave irradiation on step-by-step synthesis of zinc oxide nano-architectures}, volume={67}, number={1}, journal={Materials Letters}, author={Kajbafvala, A. and Samberg, J.
