    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for depositing diamond films and particles on a variety of substrates by flowing a gas or gas mixture capable of supplying (1) carbon, (2) hydrogen and (3) a halogen through a reactor over the substrate material. The reactant gases may be pre-mixed with an inert gas in order to keep the overall gas mixture composition low in volume percent of carbon and rich in hydrogen. Pre-treatment of the reactant gases to a high energy state is not required as it is in most prior art processes for chemical vapor deposition of diamond. Since pre-treatment is not required, the process may be applied to substrates of virtually any desired size, shape or configuration.The reactant gas mixture preferably is passed through a reactor, a first portion of which is heated to a temperature of from about 400.degree. C. to about 920.degree. C. and more preferably from about 800.degree. C. to about 920.degree. C. The substrate on which the diamond is to be grown is placed in the reactor in a zone that is maintained at a lower temperature of from about 250.degree. C. to about 750.degree. C., which is the preferred diamond growth temperature range. The process preferably is practiced at ambient pressures, although lower or higher pressures may be used. Significant amounts of pure diamond films and particles have been obtained in as little as eight hours. The purity of the diamond films and particles has been verified by Raman spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction techniques.

    摘要: A method for cutting single-wall carbon nanotubes involves partially fluorinating single-wall carbon nanotubes and pyrolyzing the partially fluorinated nanotubes in an inert atmosphere or vacuum up to about 1000° C. The nanotubes are optionally purified before cutting. The partial fluorination involves fluorinating the nanotubes to a carbon-fluorine stoichiometry of CFx, where x is up to about 0.3. The invention also relates to the derivatization of fluorinated and cut single-wall carbon nanotubes. The single-wall carbon nanotubes can be cut to any length depending on the fluorination and pyrolysis conditions. Short nanotubes are useful in various applications, such as field emitters for flat panel displays and as “seeds” for further nanotube growth.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for accurately and instantaneously determining the thermodynamic temperature of remote objects by continuous determination of the emissivity, the reflectivity, and optical constants, as well as the apparent or brightness temperature of the sample with a single instrument. The emissivity measurement is preferably made by a complex polarimeter including a laser that generates polarized light, which is reflected from the sample into a detector system. The detector system includes a beamsplitter, polarization analyzers, and four detectors to measure independently the four Stokes vectors of the reflected radiation. The same detectors, or a separate detector in the same instrument, is used to measure brightness temperature. Thus, the instrument is capable of measuring both the change in polarization upon reflection as well as the degree of depolarization and hence diffuseness. This enables correction for surface roughness of the sample and background radiation, which could otherwise introduce errors in temperature measurement.
