摘要:
A vessel for use in hydrothermal synthesis, comprises: a vessel body to be heated from outside; an inner tubular vessel which is placed within the vessel body with a tubular gap being formed therebetween, the inner tubular vessel having an inner surface which is formed of a precious metal such as silver, gold or platinum, and having a cover with a first small hole therein; and a buffer compartment for covering the first small hole, the buffer compartment having one wall which is defined by the cover and having the other wall with a second small hole therein.
摘要:
Ultra high pure quartz is grown by a one step in-situ growth process where the nutrient is high purity silica. A negative temperature gradient is maintained between the nutrient zone and the seed zone until about the start of crystal growth. A sealable container made of silver contains the nutrient and the seed within the autoclave chamber.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for hydrothermal growing of high perfection quartz by continuously filtering contaminant particles in a separate filter vessel. The filter vessel is attached to the autoclave in which the quartz is grown. Mineralizer is continuously circulated through the filter vessel during the growth process to remove acmite and other contaminants which contribute to etch imperfections and inclusions in the resulting grown quartz.
摘要:
Dislocation and etch channel-free quartz resonator blanks are made from a cultured quartz stone by visualizing the dislocation-free areas of the cultured quartz stone by X-ray topography, cutting seed plates for the next generation of crystal growth from the dislocation-free areas of the cultured quartz stone, growing dislocation free quartz from said seed plates using conventional growth techniques, and cutting dislocation-free quartz resonator blanks from said dislocation-free quartz.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a fine-crystalline .alpha.-quartz with a crystal size of from 0.08 to 0.8 mm.The process comprises crystallization of amorphous silica in the atmosphere of water vapors in the presence of a crystallization promotor--a surface-active nitrogen-containing substance possessing basic properties in an amount of from 1.times.10.sup.-3 to 1% by weight of amorphous silica at a temperature within the range of from 300.degree. to 500.degree. C. under a pressure of from 20 to 400 atm for 6 to 100 hours.The process of the present invention is simple as regards its technology and equipment. The resulting product is noted for a low content of impurities and is fit for the manufacture of high-quality quartz glass and quartz ceramics.
摘要:
Crystals (51) of high morphological quality are grown by dissolution of a substance (28) to be grown into the crystal (51) in a suitable solvent (30) under high pressure, and by subsequent slow, time-controlled reduction of the pressure of the resulting solution (36). During the reduction of the pressure interchange of heat between the solution (36) and the environment is minimized by performing the pressure reduction either under isothermal or adiabatic conditions.
摘要:
An improvement in the technique of correcting the angles of cut of quartz resonator plates is disclosed. Photolytic etching the crystal blanks comprises the preferred method. Flat-pack or pill-box type holders include masking members which mask the appropriate portion of the blank. Teflon and Kalrez comprise preferred materials for fabricating the masking elements since such materials are resistant to the etching material utilized. Mesas are formed during etching and the blanks are thereafter lapped to provide the desired angle of cut. When desirable, the masking element is withdrawn at a uniform rate during etching so that the angle is corrected without the need for lapping.
摘要:
The disclosed invention describes an apparatus and method for bringing a system having high interactive portions to a predetermined temperature distribution. The invention includes a difference controller which provides, through two separate drivers, a fixed total amount of energy to the system being controlled. If the system being controlled also has a long cycle time, second and third temperature controllers may be used to bring the system to the equilibrium temperature with a minimum amount of overshoot. The invention is particularly advantageous when used in connection with a high pressure, high temperature vessel useful in growing quartz crystals.
