Abstract
A particle deposition system can have a particle source providing a nanomaterial at a controlled rate and a gas distribution system coupled with the particle source and operable to receive the nanomaterial aerosol. A high pressure chamber can be coupled with the gas distribution system, and a nozzle can be disposed between the high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber. The nozzle can have a nozzle opening allowing fluidic communication of a nanomaterial aerosol between the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber and the opening can have a length exceeding a width.
Claims12
A particle deposition system comprising:
- a particle source operable to provide a plurality of nanomaterials at a controlled rate;
- a gas distribution system coupled with the particle source and operable to receive the nanomaterials;
- a high pressure chamber coupled with the gas distribution system;
- a nozzle, having an entrance and an exit, coupled to the high pressure chamber at the entrance;
- and
- a low pressure chamber coupled to the nozzle at the exit, wherein a nozzle opening allows fluidic communication of a nanomaterial aerosol between the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber, the nozzle opening having a length exceeding a width;
- wherein the width of the nozzle opening is formed from two opposing edges, at least one of the opposing edges movable relative to the other of the opposing edges and changing the width of the nozzle opening.
