摘要:
Converted-halide photographic emulsions and elements are disclosed containing composite silver halide crystals. The composite crystals are comprised of multifaceted, radiation-sensitive silver iodide crystals. Silver halide crystals at least partially converted from silver chloride to silver bromide form epitaxial junctions with the silver iodide crystals. At least half of the facets of the silver iodide crystals are substantially free of epitaxial silver chloride, and the converted silver halide crystals are limited to less than 75 mole percent, based on the total silver halide forming the composite crystals.

A grain growth process is disclosed for providing an ultrathin tabular grain emulsion in which the average equivalent circular diameter of tabular grains is increased. An aqueous dispersion is provided containing high bromide starting grains having an average thickness of less or equal to that of the ultrathin tabular grains to be produced, the dispersion having a pH in the range of from 1.5 to 8 and a limited stoichiometric excess of bromide ions. A phenol that is incapable of reducing the starting grains and that contains at least two iodo substituents is introduced into the dispersing medium as a grain growth modifier. The aqueous dispersion containing the phenol grain growth modifier is held at 40.degree.

A process is disclosed of preparing a high chloride {111} tabular grain emulsion. Tabular grains are formed having {111} major faces, containing at least 50 mole percent chloride and less than 5 mole percent iodide, based on silver, and accounting for at least 50 percent of total grain projected area by introducing silver ion into a gelatino-peptizer dispersing medium containing a stoichiometric excess of chloride ions with respect to silver ions and a phenol that is incapable of reducing silver chloride and has at least two iodo substituents, which acts as a grain growth modifier.

A grain growth process is disclosed for providing an ultrathin tabular grain emulsion in which the equivalent circular diameter of tabular grains is increased. An aqueous dispersion is provided containing high bromide seed grains having an average thickness of less or equal to that of the ultrathin tabular grains to be produced, the dispersion having a pH in the range of from 4.6 to 9.0 and a limited stoichiometric excess of bromide ions. An aminopyrimidine grain growth modifier containing mutually independent amino substituents, the 4 and 6 ring position substituents being hydroamino substituents, is introduced into the dispersing medium. The aqueous dispersion containing the aminopyrimidine grain growth modifier is held at room temperature or a convenient higher temperature until greater than 50 percent of total grain projected area is accounted for by ultrathin tabular grains having {111} major faces of a higher average equivalent circular diameter than the seed grains.

摘要:
A process is disclosed of preparing an emulsion for photographic use comprised of silver halide grains and a gelatino-peptizer dispersing medium in which morphologically unstable tabular grains having {111} major faces account for greater than 50 percent of total grain projected area and contain at least 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver. The emulsion additionally contains at least one 2-hydroaminoazine adsorbed to and morphologically stabilizing the tabular grains. A silver salt is epitaxially deposited epitaxially at one or more corners of the tabular grains. Protonation releases 2-hydroaminoazine from the tabular grain surfaces into the dispersing medium. Released 2-hydroaminoazine is replaced on the tabular grain surfaces by adsorption of a photographically useful compound selected from among those that contain at least one stabilizing chalcogen atom or at least one 5-iodobenzoxazolium nucleus or a photographically useful cationic benzimidazolium dye, thereby concurrently morphologically stabilizing the tabular grains and enhancing their photographic utility, and the released 2-hydroaminoazine is removed from the dispersing medium.
