Method of microbially producing metal gallate spinel nano-objects, and compositions produced thereby
Patent number: 9868899Abstract: A method of forming a metal gallate spinel structure that includes mixing a divalent metal-containing salt and a gallium-containing salt in solution with fermentative or thermophilic bacteria. In the process, the bacteria nucleate metal gallate spinel nano-objects from the divalent metal-containing salt and the gallium-containing salt without requiring reduction of a metal in the solution. The metal gallate spinel structures, as well as light-emitting structures in which they are incorporated, are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: UT-BATTELLE, LLCInventors: Chad E.

Patent number: 9853191Abstract: A light emitting device manufacturing method includes bonding an electrode of a light emitting element to a conductive member of a base. First wavelength conversion particles, second wavelength conversion particles and filling particles are electrodeposited on a surface of the light emitting element to form a wavelength conversion layer in which the filling particles are disposed among the first wavelength conversion particles and the second wavelength conversion particles. The first wavelength conversion particles contain aluminum. The second wavelength conversion particles have surfaces covered with covering material which contains aluminum. The filling particles contain aluminum. The filling particles have particle size smaller than particle sizes of both the first wavelength conversion particles and the second wavelength conversion particles. The filling particles have aspect ratio smaller than aspect ratios of both the first wavelength conversion particles and the second wavelength conversion particles.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: NICHIA CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Iwata, Shoji Hosokawa
