Abstract
Nanoscale Sn-Bi-Ag compound powders were successfully synthesized using the pulsed wire discharge (PWD) method. In PWD, when a high current is passed through high-density metal wires, the wires explode because of resistance heating, forming fine particles or metal vapor. In this study, we used Sn-Bi and Ag wires in order..... More

Material Analysis & Characterization

Abstract
We used Sn-58Bi and Cu wires to investigate the effects of variable conditions (such as pressure and wire diameter) on the formation of three-component nanoparticles. In the synthesis of the three-component nanoparticles, pulsed wire discharge was used to sublimate the wires. In this system, the K factor is described as..... More
