Investigation into the occurrence forms of oxygen in hafnium nanopowders

The synthesis modes are studied with the purpose of developing hafnium powders with the lowest oxygen content. The results of investigations into the influence of preparation conditions on the occurrence forms of oxygen in hafnium nanopowders are considered. The studies were performed using the methods of analytical chemistry, X-ray diffractometry, and electron microscopy. The data of the phase and structural analyses, the results of microscopic investigations, the chemical analysis for oxygen, and the investigation of the samples for the presence of dissolved gases are presented.
