00:45 <Noxz> still looking at AlN detector, with a LiF electron emissor

00:46 <Noxz> looking at = planning on?

00:46 <Noxz> and may be realitvely simple to engineer

00:47 <Noxz> ie, scruffing up aluminum foil in an inert atmosphere following by radiating it with ammonia at high heat

00:47 <Noxz> LiF is simple to make, but I was thinking about dip/spin coating, but the low/no solubility is everything is kind of limitting

00:48 <Noxz> ( Li + water, or MeOH/EtOH/iPrOH.. + HF(aq) )

00:48 <Noxz> and it'll essentially precipitate out, like 0.15% solubility in water

00:49 <Noxz> and MgO via Mg(OMe)2 (via Mg + MeOH) dipped nichrome screen for the electron multiplier detector seems like it's part of the plan as well

01:57 <Noxz> looks like vacuum deposition of LiF is common, and layers of PVA used with them.. likely just doing a slury and microwaving it all would work
