Sinterable ceramic powders from laser-heated gases

Extremely high quality ceramic powders have been synthesized from SiH4, NH3 and CH4 reactant gasses that are heated by absorbing energy emitted from a CO2 laser. Resulting Si, Si3N4 and SiC powders have been characterized in terms of parameters which are important for densification processes....
