Abstract
Inorganic compositions were prepared by melt spinning. An inorganic melt was sent to a spinning wheel. As the melt contacts the wheel, it cools and is converted into a solid composition. A melt prepared from lanthanum halide powder and cerium halide powder was converted to a scintillator product of nanoparticles embedded in a glassy matrix.
Claims27
A process for preparing a composition, comprising:
- sending an inorganic melt to a spinning wheel, whereby the melt cools after it contacts the wheel and is converted into a product that comprises nanoparticles embedded in a glassy matrix.
A product prepared by a process that comprises sending an inorganic melt to a spinning wheel that cools the melt after the melt contacts the spinning wheel, whereby the melt is converted into a product that comprises nanoparticles of a composition embedded in a glassy matrix of essentially the same composition.
A composition that consists essentially of nanoparticles of a composition embedded in a glassy matrix of essentially the same composition as that of the nanoparticles.
