Rapid synthesis of gallium alloys
| DWPI Title: Synthesizing gallium alloy involves mixing gallium amide with rare earth metal amide, and heating mixture to elevated temperature in inert environment to form alloy comprising gallium and rare earth metal |
| Abstract: The ability to generate complex gallium alloys using metal amides, Ga(NR2)3 and M(NR2)n, is easily accomplished by heating the two metal amides in predetermined ratios. The product can be isolated as GaxMy where x and y can vary. |
| Use: The method is useful for synthesizing a gallium alloy (claimed). |
| Advantage: Rapid synthesis of gallium alloys from metal amides is provided. The ability to generate complex gallium alloys using metal amides is easily accomplished by heating the 2 metal amides in predetermined ratios. |
| Novelty: A gallium alloy is synthesized by mixing a gallium amide with a rare earth metal amide; and heating the mixture to an elevated temperature in an inert environment to form an alloy comprising gallium and the rare earth metal. |
