Diatomaceous earth, widely-known and long-used as a filteraid in process and waste filtrations, has a high microcrystalline silica content. As well as being a respiratory hazard in the workplace, the silica is being scrutinized in some jurisdictions as a potentially hazardous dust in landfills in which spent filter cakes are deposited. 

Cathodic electrodeposition of microcrystalline cadmium-zinc selenide (Cdi i Zn i Se CZS) films has been reported from selenite and selenosulfate baths [125, 126]. When applied for CZS, the typical electrocrystallization process from acidic solutions involves the underpotential reduction of at least one of the metal ion species (the less noble zinc). However, the direct formation of the alloy in this manner is problematic, basically due to a large difference between the redox potentials of and Cd " couples [127]. In solutions containing both zinc and cadmium ions, Cd will deposit preferentially because of its more positive potential, thus leading to free CdSe phase. This is true even if the cations are complexed since the stability constants of cadmium and zinc with various complexants are similar. Notwithstanding, films electrodeposited from typical solutions have been used to study the molar fraction dependence of the CZS band gap energy in the light of photoelectrochemical measurements, along with considerations within the virtual crystal approximation [128]. 

As noted already, Kuroko deposits are characterized by the following zonal arrangement in ascending stratigraphic order siliceous ore (quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite), yellow ore (chalcopyrite, pyrite), black ore (sphalerite, galena, barite), barite ore (barite and quartz) and ferruginous chert ore (microcrystalline quartz, hematite). 

The application of this technique in conventional RF deposition equipment revealed the possibility of producing microcrystalline silicon at relatively low power densities and temperatures [501]. Depending on deposition conditions, (i.e., deposition cycle time, hydrogen exposure time, and power density), different microcrystalline fractions are found see [165,251,502]. 

Amorphous NiP alloys with > 10% P (generally obtained by deposition from acidic electrolytes) are non-magnetic (see [66] and references therein), as required of the underlayer for thin-film media. Although the structure of these alloys is generally assumed to be a solid solution of P in Ni, a recent report [67] has suggested that NiP with 7.4-10% P deposited from acid sulfate electrolytes is better represented by a microcrystalline structure composed of 4-5 nm fee NiP solid-solution grains. 

The industrial application of Plasma Induced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PICVD) of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon films has led to extensive studies of gas phase and surface processes connected with the deposition process. We are investigating the time response of the concentration of species involved in the deposition process, namely SiH4, Si2H6, and H2 by relaxation mass spectroscopy and SiH2 by laser induced fluorescence. 

Property measurements of fullerenes are made either on powder samples, films or single crystals. Microcrystalline C6o powder containing small amounts of residual solvent is obtained by vacuum evaporation of the solvent from the solution used in the extraction and separation steps. Pristine Cgo films used for property measurements are typically deposited onto a variety of substrates (< . , a clean silicon (100) surface to achieve lattice matching between the crystalline C60 and the substrate) by sublimation of the Cr,o powder in an inert atmosphere (e.g., Ar) or in vacuum. Single crystals can be grown either from solution using solvents such as CS and toluene, or by vacuum sublimation [16, 17, 18], The sublimation method yields solvent-free crystals, and is the method of choice. 

We also include in this class of quasi-2D nanostructured materials Titania deposited inside ordered mesoporous silica (because an inner coating of mesoporous silica may be realized), or nano-dot type Titania particles well dispersed in the ordered porous matrix. We do not consider here solids which contain linear or zig-zag type TiOTiO-nanowires in a microcrystalline porous framework, such as ETS-4 and ETS-10, notwithstanding the interest of these materials also as photocatalysts,146-151 because these nanowires are located inside the host matrix, and not fully accessible from the gas reactants (the reactivity is essentially at pore mouth).

Polarization modulation reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (PM-RAIRS) was employed to follow the reaction of CO, C2H4 and CO/C2H4 with microcrystalline ]Pd(Me)(OTf)(dppp)] deposited onto a gold coated wafer. Single insertion steps were observed by alternately exposing the catalyst precursor to low CO (500-333 mbar) and ethene (333 mbar) pressures (Figure 7.12). 

Films of materials deposited at or near room temperature (and in this respect 100°C is considered to be near room temperature) tend to have a small crystal size. This is not surprising since high temperatures are normally required to impart sufficient mobility to a freshly deposited species in order for recrystallization to occur. This small crystal size, which at one time was almost universally considered to be a disadvantage, is increasingly considered to be an advantage as interest in nanocrystalline and nanoparticle materials grows. The term nano crystalline usually refers to materials with a crystal size from a nanometer up to hundreds of nanometers (at this upper limit, the term microcrystalline starts to take over). 

This decomposes rapidly at 87° C., is readily soluble in water giving a strongly acid solution and decomposing slowly with evolution of nitrous fumes. Treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid con-verts the nitrate into the chloride, a white microcrystalline substance, moderately soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol or acetone. Potassium iodide solution transforms the nitrate into a gummy iodide, decomposing indefinitely above 100° C. Hot concentrated nitric acid reacts violently with the polymeride, the resulting clear solution after evaporation depositing oxalic acid.
