Publication number: 20190249081Abstract: Monodisperse particles having: a single pure crystalline phase of a rare earth-containing lattice, a uniform three-dimensional size, and a uniform polyhedral morphology are disclosed. Due to their uniform size and shape, the monodisperse particles self assemble into superlattices. The particles may be luminescent particles such as down-converting phosphor particles and up-converting phosphors. The monodisperse particles of the invention have a rare earth-containing lattice which in one embodiment may be an yttrium-containing lattice or in another may be a lanthanide-containing lattice. The monodisperse particles may have different optical properties based on their composition, their size, and/or their morphology (or shape).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Applicants: INTELLIGENT MATERIAL SOLUTIONS, INC., THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIAInventors: Joshua E. COLLINS, Howard Y. BELL, Xingchen YE, Christopher Bruce MURRAY

Patent number: 6302940Abstract: A method and structure for forming magnetic alloy nanoparticles includes forming a metal salt solution with a reducing agent and stabilizing ligands, introducing an organometallic compound into the metal salt solution to form a mixture, heating the mixture to a temperature between 260° and 300° C., and adding a flocculent to cause the magnetic alloy nanoparticles to precipitate out of the mixture without permanent agglomeration. The deposition of the alkane dispersion of FePt alloy particles, followed by the annealing results in the formation of a shiny FePt nanocrystalline thin film with coercivity ranging from 500 Oe to 6500 Oe.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2001Date of Patent: October 16, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher Bruce Murray, Shouheng Sun, Dieter K.
