Abstract:
A method for joining a metal component to a ceramic component is presented. The method includes disposing a metallic barrier layer on a metallized portion of the ceramic component, and joining the metal component to the metallized portion of the ceramic component through the metallic barrier layer. The metallic barrier layer comprises nickel and a melting point depressant. The metallic barrier layer is disposed by a screen printing process, followed by sintering the layer at a temperature less than about 1000 degrees Celsius. A sealing structure including a joint between a ceramic component and a metal component is also presented.
Abstract:
A process for synthesizing a manganese doped phosphor of formula I: Ax [MFy]:Mn4+ is presented. The process includes contacting a first solution with a second solution and a third solution in the presence of a plurality of inert particles. The first solution and the second solution include a composition of formula II: Ax[MnFy]. The third solution includes a source of M, where A is Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, or combinations thereof; M is Si, Ge, Sn, Ti, Zr, Al, Ga, In, Sc, Hf, Y, La, Nb, Ta, Bi, Gd, or combinations thereof; x is an absolute value of a charge of the [MFy] ion; and y is 5, 6 or 7.
