A New Preparation Method of Ultrafine Particles of Metallic Sulfides

Abstract
Ultrafine particles of metallic sulfides have been produced by the reaction of metal and sulfur vapor. The sulfur vapor was prepared by evaporating sulfur powder from a quartz boat using the atmospheric temperature of either the heated metal or boat. Electron microscopic observation of the particles of Mo3S4 and PbS has shown them to be typical examples of the produced sulfides.
