  • Nanocrystalline materials
    Patent number: 5874684
    Abstract: A method and system for synthesizing nanocrystalline material. A system includes a chamber, a nonconsumable cathode shielded against chemical reaction by a working gas not including an oxidizing gas, but including an inert gas, a consumable anode vaporizable by an arc formed between the cathode and the anode, and a nozzle for injecting at least one of a quench and reaction gas in the boundaries of the arc.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 1996
    Date of Patent: February 23, 1999
    Assignee: Nanophase Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: John C. Parker, Mohammed N. Ali, Byron B. Lympany
