Abstract:
A method for producing a silver halide emulsion comprising high silver chloride tabular grains each having a chloride content of 50 mol % or more and having a major plane comprising a (111) face, which comprises a step for conducting nucleation of said grains substantially in the absence of a crystal phase controlling agent to form grains which have two twin planes parallel with each other and of which most of the surface are (100) faces, a step for ripening said grains by adding a crystal phase controlling agent which adsorbs to the (111) face or a mixture of a crystal phase controlling agent which adsorbs to the (111) face and a protective colloid to reduce the ratio of grains other than the grains having two or more parallel twin planes and then a step for growing with remaining tabular grains having a major plane mainly comprising a (111) face to form tabular grains having a major plane comprising a (111) face.
Abstract:
A radiation-sensitive emulsion is disclosed in which at least 70 percent of total grain projected area is accounted for by tabular grains (a) having {100} major faces, (b) containing greater than 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver, (c) having a mean equivalent circular diameter in the range of from 2.0 to 5.0 .mu.m, and (d) exhibiting a mean thickness of 0.1 .mu.m or less. The emulsion is prepared by (a) precipitating up to 10 percent of the total silver forming the high chloride {100} tabular grains to create a first grain population under conditions that form a crystal lattice structure that favors the growth of high chloride {100} tabular grains, (b) thereafter rapidly introducing silver and halide ions to create a second grain population, and (c) growing the first grain population to create the high chloride {100} tabular grains by ripening out the second grain population.
