  • Publication number: 20210066714
    Abstract: Provided is a novel production method for producing silicon clathrate II. In the production method for producing silicon clathrate II, in a reaction system in which a Na—Si alloy containing Na and Si and an Na getter agent coexist so as not to be in contact with each other, the Na—Si alloy is heated and Na evaporated from the Na—Si alloy is thus caused to react with the Na getter agent to reduce an amount of Na in the Na—Si alloy.

    Abstract: An optical prism that includes an interlock structure that precisely couples to a complementary structure of a refractive lens. For precision, the interlock structure may be formed at the same time and using the same technique as the optical surface of the prism. The interlock structure provides high accuracy when assembling a folded lens system by precisely aligning the object side optical surface of the lens with the image side optical surface of the prism so that the optical axis is centered in the lens. The prism may have refractive power. A portion of the object side surface may be coated with an opaque material to provide an aperture stop at that surface.
