Synthesis of high thermal conductivity nano-scale aluminum nitride by a new carbothermal reduction method from combustion precursor

Carbothermal reduction method for Fe3O4 powder synthesis

“…The carbothermal reduction route provides a general method for preparing ceramic powders such as TiCN and AlN [15,16], but until now it has not been utilized to prepare Fe 3 O 4 powders. In this study, we successfully synthesized Fe 3 O 4 powders from Fe 2 O 3 powder and glucose mixture as starting materials using the carbothermal reduction method.…”

A modified direct nitridation method for formation of nano-AlN whiskers

“…There are two primary commercial techniques reported for the production of AlN powders: the direct nitridation of aluminium or aluminium salts by nitrogen or ammonia [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and the carbothermal reduction and nitridation of alumina [13][14][15][16]. The later one involves the reduction of Al 2 O 3 or Al(OH) 3 with carbon and simultaneous nitridation by nitrogen to AlN powder at temperatures around 1700-1900 • C [11].…”

Structural, optical and mechanical properties of aluminium nitride films prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering

“…[1,2] which make AlN a promising material for a variety of applications in electronic, optoelectronic, surface acoustic wave and structural components [3]. Also, AlN is a strong candidate for the fabrication of optical devices for UVVisible spectral region applications [4].…”
