  bibo_abstract:
  - Copper oxide and cobalt oxide (CuO, Co3O4) nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully
    prepared in a short time using microwave irradiation without any postannealing
    treatment. Both kinds of nanocrystals (NCs) have been prepared using copper nitrate
    and cobalt nitrate as the starting materials and distilled water as the solvent.
    The resulted powders of nanocrystals (NCs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction
    (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
    and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. The obtained results confirm the
    presence of the both of oxides nanopowders produced during chemical precipitation
    using microwave irradiation. A strong emission under UV excitation is obtained
    from the prepared CuO and Co3O4 nanoparticles. The results show that the nanoparticles
    have high dispersion and narrow size distribution. The line scans of atomic force
    microscopy (AFM) images of the nanocrystals (NCs) sprayed on GaAs substrates confirm
    the results of both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore,
    vibrational studies have been carried out using Raman spectroscopic technique.
    Specific Raman peaks have been observed in the CuO and Co3O4 nanostructures, and
    the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the peaks indicates a small particle
    size of the nanocrystals.@eng
