摘要:
Crystalline scintillator materials comprising nano-scale particles of metal halides are provided. The nano-scale particles are less than 100 nm in size. Methods are provided for preparing the particles. In these methods, ionic liquids are used in place of water to allow precipitation of the final product. In one method, the metal precursors and halide salts are dissolved in separate ionic liquids to form solutions, which are then combined to form the nano-crystalline end product. In the other methods, micro-emulsions are formed using ionic liquids to control particle size.

The invention relates to an improvement in apparatus and process for the formation of a complex of Lewis acidic or Lewis basic gases in a reactive liquid of opposite character and for the breaking (fragmentation) of said complex associated with the recovery of the Lewis gas therefrom. The improvement resides in forming finely divided droplets of reactive liquid and controlling the temperature, pressure and concentration of said Lewis gas of opposite character to provide for (a) the formation of said complex between said gas and reactive liquid or (b) the breaking of said complex and the recovery of the atomized droplets of reactive liquid.

Metal halide compositions of enhanced purity are produced by vapor phase deposition via reactions involving organometallic starting materials in a process wherein a carbon getter is provided in the reaction zone and/or adjacent the developing metal halide deposit. The carbon getter reduces carbon contamination in the product which can result from side decomposition reactions involving the organometallic starting materials.

Element halides are prepared in high yield by contacting an element or compound thereof and carbon or a carbon source with a gas stream containing a halogen or halogen compound in the gaseous state, and heating by means of an alternating magnetic field.

The present invention concerns a process for obtaining metal halides, in particular rare earth and/or alkali earth halides. This process consists of forming a homogeneous solution by mixing one or more rare earth and/or alkali earth halogenoalkoxides in an anhydrous organic solvent, and hydrolyzing this solution. The novel materials are obtained at room temperature and are in powder, fibre, film or bulk material form.
摘要:
A finely divided metal-containing compound can be efficiently prepared by irradiating a mixed vapor phase of an organometallic compound in a concentration to exceed a specified lower limit and a reactant gaseous compound with laser beams having an incident energy density to exceed a specified lower limit. When the reactant gaseous compound in the vapor phase is an oxygen-containing compound, e.g., air, the resultant powdery product is an oxide of the metallic element of the organometallic compound. When the reactant gaseous compound in the vapor phase is a halogen-containing compound, e.g., methyl halides, the resultant powdery product is a halide of the metallic element of the organometallic compound. When the reactant gaseous compound is a second organometallic compound, of which the metallic element is not the same as the metallic element in the first organometallic compound, the resultant powdery product is a composite metallic powder of which the distribution of the two metallic elements is uniform throughout each particle. No particles of either one of the metallic elements alone are contained in the powder as evidenced by the EPMA analysis.

Metal halide particles useful, among other things, as olefin polymerization catalyst precursors and catalyst supports are prepared by vaporizing the metal halide and then condensing it in the presence of a diluent.

A gas atomization apparatus is disclosed for producing high purity fine refractory compound powders. After the system reaches high vacuum, a first stage inert atomizing gas breaks superheated metal melt into droplets and a second stage reactive atomizing gas breaks the droplets further into ultrafine droplets while reacts with them to form refractory compound powders. The first stage atomizing gas is inert gas able to break up melt into droplets and prevent crust formation on the nozzle front. A reaction time enhancer is arranged at bottom of reaction chamber to furnish a reactive gas flow in a reverse direction of the falling droplets and powders. Under the reverse gas flow, the falling droplets and powders change moving direction and travel longer distance in reaction chamber to increase reaction time. This apparatus can produce refractory powders with ultrahigh purity and uniform powder size while maintain high process energy efficiency.
摘要:
An improved technique that reduces the potential for trapped impurities and/or ensuring desired stoichiometry of a grown crystal. Improved contaminant removal is obtained by bubbling a scavenger gas, such as fluorine gas or hydrogen fluoride gas, through a melt of alkaline- or alkali-earth halides, to improve the purity of the melt by removing more volatile metal halides and oxygen contained within the melt. By reacting after the raw material has melted, any oxygen or metal impurities trapped in the raw material is free to react with the scavenger. A desired stoichiometry is achieved as the alkaline- or alkali-earth metals react with the halide in the scavenger gas. Decreasing the amount of impurities in the melt, and using a desired stoichiometeric melt, improves the radiation hardness and transmission properties of resulting ingot grown from the purified raw material. Additionally, this method may decrease the amount of time needed for outgassing. The method may also be used to form a high purity pre-melt, which in turn may be used to grow an ingot with higher purity.
