摘要:
Small particles provide for improved performance as phosphors especially in the production of display devices. Particles with a diameter less than about 100 nm have altered band properties that affect the emission by the particles. A collection of such small particles with a narrow distribution around a selected average diameter can be used to produce emission at a desired frequency. These particles are effective for producing a wide variety of display types including flat panel displays. Laser pyrolysis provides an efficient process for the production of desired particles.

Monolithic optical structures include a plurality of layer with each layer having an isolated optical pathway confined within a portion of the layer. The monolithic optical structure can be used as an optical fiber preform. Alternatively or additionally, the monolithic optical structure can include integrated optical circuits within one or more layers of the structure. Monolithic optical structures can be formed by performing multiple passes of a substrate through a flowing particle stream. The deposited particles form an optical material following consolidation. Flexible optical fibers include a plurality of independent light channels extending along the length of the optical fiber. The fibers can be pulled from an appropriate preform.

Light reactive deposition uses an intense light beam (684) to form particles that are directly coated onto a substrate (680) surface. In some embodiments, a coating apparatus comprising a noncircular reactant inlet (682), optical elements forming a light path (684), a first substrate (680), and a motor connected to the apparatus. The reactant inlet (682) defines a reaction zone with a product stream path continuing from the reaction zone. The substrate (680) intersects the product stream path. Also, operation of the motor moves the first substrate (680) relative to the product stream. Various broad methods are described for using light driven chemical reactions to produce efficiently highly uniform coatings.

Electromagnetic shielding material is formed from a shielding composition made with magnetic particles and a binder, where the magnetic particles have an average diameter less than about 1000 nm and are substantially crystalline. The magnetic particles can be formed from Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Fe3C, or Fe7C3. The shielding composition can be formed into a layer (500) or into composite particles (600). The binder (504) can be a metal or an electrically conducting polymer. A conducting layer (558) can be placed adjacent to the shielding composition. The shielding material can be used to protect sensitive electronic devices. Methods are described for forming iron oxide particles by laser pyrolysis.
摘要:
An apparatus produces particles, preferably nanoparticles, from gas phase chemical reactions induced by a radiation beam. The radiation beam comprises preferably electromagnetic radiation or a laser beam. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber (102) with a window (242) for introducing the radiation and an elongated reactant inlet (164), and said reaction chamber is configured to conform generally to the elongated shape of the reactant inlet. Shielding gas may be introduced (196) to form a blanket of inert gas on both sides of the reactant stream to prevent reactive gases and product particles striking the chamber walls and the optical components. The apparatus may further comprise a pyrometer (302) to monitor the emission of reactants, a particle size analyser (400) and a computer (108). A feedback loop with a pressure sensor (30 4) may be used to maintain the desired pressure within the reaction chamber.
