  • Publication number: 20210370309
    Abstract: Methods for forming black phosphorus alloys and exfoliating black phosphorus alloys. A method for forming black phosphorus alloys includes providing phosphorus inside a vessel and providing an element inside the vessel. Media is provided inside the vessel and the phosphorus, the element, and the media are sealed under a gas within the vessel. The phosphorus and the element are mechanically milled with the media to produce black phosphorus that is covalently bonded with the element. A method for exfoliating a black phosphorus alloy includes mixing a milled black phosphorus alloy with a solvent and mixing a milled black phosphorus alloy with a solvent. The milled black phosphorus alloy and solvent mixture are then extracted from the milling apparatus, which may be a planetary ball mill, a vibratory mill, a tumbler ball mill, a mixer mill, a rod mill, an attrition mill, or a shaker mill.

  • Publication number: 20100269104
    Abstract: A method for generic marshalling without object modification includes making a service request for at least one object by inputting data into a computer system; constructing at least one marshalling request from the service request to marshal the at least one object; selecting a marshaller that supports an output format for the data; an abstract marshaller calling at least one strategy provider based on the at least one marshalling request and the selected marshaller; and the at least one strategy provider calling at least one strategy. The at least one strategy defines a translation that converts values from the at least one object into a generic format recognized by the abstract marshaller so the values are translated into the specific output format supported by the selected marshaller.
