Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes #1 before layer formation 1993-05-12 thermal synthesis of the sulfide by the evacuated silica tube method at 1273 K for 24 hours from native elements #2 before layer formation 1993-05-12 pressure production of a pellet from the synthesized sulfide powder #3 before layer formation 1993-05-12 thermal melting the pellet in an arc furnance formation of a compact sample #4 before layer formation 1993-05-12 thermal quenching the melt quickly on water cooled copper plate formation of a compact melt droplet #5 before layer formation 1993-05-12 mechanical embedding the melt droplet into epoxy resin #6 during layer formation 1993-05-12 mechanical polishing of the embedded sulfide melt droplet to obtain a smooth and flat surface - Comments
- The processing steps 2-4 were conducted under argon atmosphere, because Mg-rich sulfides are easily attacked by atmospheric moisture.
