Method for the rapid synthesis of large quantities of metal oxide nanowires at low temperatures

Patent Sunkara, Mahendra Kumar [Louisville, KY]; Vaddiraju, Sreeram [Mountain View, CA]; Mozetic, Miran [Ljubljan, SI]; ...

A process for the rapid synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles at low temperatures and methods which facilitate the fabrication of long metal oxide nanowires. The method is based on treatment of metals with oxygen plasma. Using oxygen plasma at low temperatures allows for rapid growth unlike other synthesis methods where nanomaterials take a long time to grow. Density of neutral oxygen atoms in plasma is a controlling factor for the yield of nanowires. The oxygen atom density window differs for different materials. By selecting the optimal oxygen atom density for various materials the yield can be maximized for nanowire synthesismore » of the metal.« less

Low-temperature synthesis of actinide tetraborides by solid-state metathesis reactions

Patent Lupinetti, Anthony J [Los Alamos, NM]; Garcia, Eduardo [Los Alamos, NM]; Abney, Kent D [Los Alamos, NM]

The synthesis of actinide tetraborides including uranium tetraboride (UB.sub.4), plutonium tetraboride (PuB.sub.4) and thorium tetraboride (ThB.sub.4) by a solid-state metathesis reaction are demonstrated. The present method significantly lowers the temperature required to .ltoreq.850.degree. C. As an example, when UCl.sub.4 is reacted with an excess of MgB.sub.2, at 850.degree. C., crystalline UB.sub.4 is formed. Powder X-ray diffraction and ICP-AES data support the reduction of UCl.sub.3 as the initial step in the reaction. The UB.sub.4 product is purified by washing water and drying.

Liquid phase low temperature method for production of methanol from synthesis gas and catalyst formulations therefor

Patent Mahajan, Devinder

The invention provides a homogenous catalyst for the production of methanol from purified synthesis gas at low temperature and low pressure which includes a transition metal capable of forming transition metal complexes with coordinating ligands and an alkoxide, the catalyst dissolved in a methanol solvent system, provided the transition metal complex is not transition metal carbonyl. The coordinating ligands can be selected from the group consisting of N-donor ligands, P-donor ligands, O-donor ligands, C-donor ligands, halogens and mixtures thereof.

Formation of microchannels from low-temperature plasma-deposited silicon oxynitride

Patent Matzke, Carolyn M [Los Lunas, NM]; Ashby, Carol I. H. [Edgewood, NM]; Bridges, Monica M [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

A process for forming one or more fluid microchannels on a substrate is disclosed that is compatible with the formation of integrated circuitry on the substrate. The microchannels can be formed below an upper surface of the substrate, above the upper surface, or both. The microchannels are formed by depositing a covering layer of silicon oxynitride over a mold formed of a sacrificial material such as photoresist which can later be removed. The silicon oxynitride is deposited at a low temperature (.ltoreq.100.degree. C.) and preferably near room temperature using a high-density plasma (e.g. an electron-cyclotron resonance plasma or an inductively-coupledmore »« less
