Atomic Engineering Nannoparticles: Silicon Oxide

Abstract: This article describes the synthesis of nanoparticles: Silicon Oxide and Iron oxide and their characterization.

1. INTRODUCTION
The first mention of some of the distinguishing concepts in technology (but predating use of that name) was in 1867 by James Clerk Maxwell when he proposed as a thought experiment a tiny entity known as Maxwell’s Demon able to handle individual molecules. In 1959, Cattech physicist Richard Feynman gives his famed talk “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, outlining the prospects for atomic engineering Nanotechnology can be defined as the study of fabrication, design, characterization and application of structure and systems by controlling the shape and size at a nanometer scale [1]. It is concerned with

Stir the above solution magnetic stirrer for 2 hours. In another beaker make a solution of ammonia and distilled water in a ratio of 2:3. After 2 hours, add this solution of water and ammonia drop wise on the solution that was kept on magnetic stirrer till the pH becomes 11. Now keep a magnet below the beaker and let the particles settles down it will take some time. When the particles settle down discard the liquid portion and fill the beaker with distilled water. Again keep the magnet below the beaker and let the particles settle down and discard the liquid portion repeat this procedure till the pH becomes 7.

3. Characterization Result and Discussion
3.1 XRD of Silicon oxide

It was found using XRD that the crystalline size was in nanoscale. The size of silicon oxide nanoparticles was found to be 0.04 nm respectively by using Debye-Scherrer formula [17]. In the above graph the peak is broadened because of non uniform strain.
3.2 XRD OF Iron oxide It was found using XRD that the crystalline size was in nanoscale. The size of iron oxide nanoparticles was found to be around 9.70 nm respectively by using Debye-Scherrer formula.
