In this paper, the preparation and characterization of crystalline terbium oxide via thermal decomposition of acetate precursor is reported. The decomposition pathway of the parent salt was followed using TGA, DTA, and in situ electrical conductivity in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The obtained...detailed
The analytical usefulness of the combined use of laccase, terbium oxide nanoparticles (Tb4O7NPs) and 8-hydroxypyrene-3-sulphonate trisodium (HPTS) for the determination of polyphenol compounds in wine samples is described. The system is based on the temporal inhibition by polyphenols on the decr...detailed
The synthesis of inner transition metal nanoparticles via an ecofriendly route is quite difficult. This study, for the first time, reports synthesis of terbium oxide nanoparticles using fungus, Fusarium oxysporum. The biocompatible terbium oxide nanoparticles (Tb2O3 NPs) were synthesized by incu...detailed
Nanostructured powders of terbium oxides were prepared by the thermal decomposition of terbium acetate at different temperatures. The powders were investigated by means of XRD, HRTEM, magnetic measurements, and IR spectroscopy. It has been found that the most likely composition of the oxides is ...detailed
Terbium oxide doped molybdenum oxide (MoO3:Tb) nanostructures have successfully been grown by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. MoO3 nanostructures containing 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt% of terbium oxide are grown on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that the MoO3:Tb nanost...detailed
Glycine-nitrate self-propagating high-temperature synthesis was used to synthesize terbium oxide nanopowders whose phase transformations were investigated by methods of high-temperature differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The as-prepared powders consis...detailed
