Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A method to synthesize a gallium alloy, comprising: 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. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the gallium amide comprises gallium dimethylamide. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the rare earth metal amide comprises scandium amide. 4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the scandium amide comprises scandium dimethylamide.
