Definitions

  • silver halide emulsions rarely contain more than about 15 mole percent iodide, with iodide well below 10 mole percent being most common. All silver halide grains, except rarely employed high iodide silver halide grains, hereinafter excluded from consideration except as expressly noted, exhibit cubic crystal lattice structures.
  • Silver halide favors the formation of crystallographic faces of either the cubic or octahedral form.
  • Silver chloride strongly favors the formation of cubic crystal faces.
  • Silver bromide also favors the formation of cubic crystal faces, but favors the formation of octahedral crystal faces in the presence of an excess of bromide ions.
  • Iodide ions in the crystal structure tend to increase the grain preference for crystal faces of the octahedral form.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of a (111) crystal face, analogous to Figure 2, wherein the smaller spheres 2 represent silver ions while the larger spheres 3 designate bromine ions.
  • silver ions are shown at the surface in every available lattice position, it has been suggested that having silver ions in only every other available lattice position in the surface tier of atoms would be more compatible with surface charge neutrality.
  • the surface tier of ions could alternatively be bromide ions.
  • the tier of ions immediately below the surface silver ions consists of bromide ions.
  • Core-shell silver halide emulsions constitute the most common examples of silver halide grains of a composite structure. Core-shell emulsions are illustrated by Porter et al U.S. Patents 3,206,313 and 3,317,322, Berriman U.S. Patent 3,367,778, and Evans U.S. Patent 3,761,276, and, in tabular form, by Evans et al U.S. Patent 4,504,570.
  • Halwig U.S. Patent 3,519,426 and Oppenheimer et al disclose additions of 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetraazaindene to silver chloride and silver bromide emulsions, respectively.
  • novel ruffling approach of this invention and other known approaches for increasing grain surface area ratios, specifically reducing grain size or providing irregular grain shapes, are compatible and can be used in combination to produce additive increases in grain surface area ratios.
  • planar faces By reason of being ruffled these grain faces present a larger surface area than a corresponding planar grain face.
  • planar faces such as the cube 1 in Figure 1 or the octahedron 5 in Figure 3, it is apparent that the planar faces each present the minimum surface area consistent with the size of the polyhedron.
  • the silver halide grains having ruffled faces are formed starting with any conventional emulsion containing silver halide grains of a cubic crystal lattice structure presenting faces of a crystallographic form favored by the silver halide.
  • silver halide grains which are predominantly silver chloride (greater than 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver) and especially grains which are at least 90 mole percent chloride the favored crystallographic form is cubic, and the grain faces to be ruffled are therefore cubic (i.e., (100)) crystal faces.
  • pyramids with rhombic dodecahedral faces it can been seen in Figure 5 that the regular rhombic dodecahedron 7 has eight corners each formed by the intersection of three crystal faces and six corners formed by the intersection of four crystal faces.
  • a pyramid presenting rhombic dodecahedral or ⁇ 110 ⁇ crystal faces is located on a ⁇ 100 ⁇ base plane, it presents four surface faces, thus appearing in plan similarly as shown in Figure 9; but when a ⁇ 111 ⁇ base plane is presented, a pyramid with ⁇ 110 ⁇ crystal faces presents three surface faces, thus appearing in plan similarly as shown in Figure 8.
  • the (331) trisoctahedral crystal faces present a unique arrangement of surface silver and halide ions that differs from that presented by all other possible crystal faces for cubic crystal lattice structure silver halides.
  • This unique surface arrangement of ions as theoretically hypothesized is schematically illustrated by Figure 11, wherein a ⁇ 331 ⁇ trisoctahedral crystal face is shown formed by silver ions 2 and bromide ions 3. Comparing Figure 11 with Figures 2, 4, and 6, it is apparent that the surface positioning of silver and bromide ions in each figure is distinctive.
  • the (321) hexoctahedral crystal faces present a unique arrangement of surface silver and halide ions that differs from that presented by all other possible crystal faces for cubic crystal lattice structure silver halides.
  • This unique surface arrangement of ions as theoretically hypothesized is schematically illustrated by Figure 17, wherein a (321) hexoctahedral crystal face is shown formed by silver ions 2 and bromide ions 3. Comparing Figure 17 with Figures 2, 4, 6, 11, 13, and 15, it is apparent that the surface positioning of silver and bromide ions in each figure is distinctive.
  • silver halide emulsions containing any identifiable ruffled grain surface are considered within the scope of this invention, in most applications the grains having at least one identifiable ruffled face account for at least 10 percent of the total grain population and usually these grains will account for greater than 50 percent of the total grain population.
  • the silver halide emulsions can be spectrally sensitized with dyes from a variety of classes, including the polymethine dye class, which Includes the cyanines, merocyanines, complex cyanines and merocyanines (i.e., tri-, tetra-, and polynuclear cyanines and merocyanines), oxonols, hemioxonols, styryls, merostyryls, and streptocyanines.
  • Illustrative spectral sensitizing dyes are disclosed in Research Disclosure, Item 17643, cited above, Section IV.
  • the substitution of an emulsion according to the invention containing a growth modifier spectral sensitizing dye should produce a more invariant emulsion in terms of spectral properties than a corresponding emulsion containing silver halide grains lacking ruffled faces.
  • the growth modifier is capable of inhibiting fog, such as 2-mercaptoimidazole or any of the tetraazaindenes shown to be effective growth modifiers in the examples, more effective fog inhibition at lower concentrations may be expected.
  • Emulsion Example 1 illustrates the preparation of a ruffled tabular grain silver bromoiodide emulsion using as growth modifier Compound I, 5-carbethoxy-4-hydroxy-1,3,3a,7-tetraazaindene, which is known to be useful as an antifoggant and stabilizer.
  • Emulsion Example 2 was prepared as described for Example 1, except that the growth modifier was 6.0 millimole/Ag mole of Compound II, dissolved in 3mL methanol, 2mL water, and 2 drops of triethylamine. The precipitation was carried out for 37.0 min, consuming 0.015 mole Ag.
  • a thin and high aspect ratio tabular grain AgBr emulsion having major faces of octahedral form, of mean grain size 5.6 um and thickness 0.10 um containing about 20 g/Ag mole gelatin, hereinafter designated Host Grain Emulsion 2.
  • Water was added to make the total weight 50 g.
  • To the emulsion at 40°C was added 5.0 millimole/initial Ag mole of Compound III dissolved in 2mL methanol. The emulsion was then held for 15 min at 40°C. The pH was adjusted to 6.0 at 40°C.
  • the temperature was lowered to 30°C, and the pAg adjusted to 7.6 at 30°C with KBr and maintained at that level during the precipitation.
  • a 2.0M solution of AgN0 3 was introduced at a constant rate over a period of 10 min while a 2.0M solution of KBr was added as needed to hold the pAg constant.
  • a total of 0.020 mole Ag was added.
  • Example 6 illustrates the preparation of ruffled tabular grain silver bromoiodide emulsions using Compound V (Example 5) as the growth modifier.
  • Example 6A is a control showing that no ruffles are formed if the growth modifier is added following, rather than preceding, the silver halide precipitation on the host emulsion.
  • the host emulsion (0.05 mole for each experiment) and precipitation conditions were as described in Example 1, except that the growth modifier was Compound V and the addition rate of the AgN0 3 solution was half that used in Example 1, (precipitation time about 74 min, 0.015 mole Ag added).
  • the details of the three experiments are shown in Table III.
  • Figure 26A is an electron micrograph showing the fairly uniform, closely arranged ruffles which resulted.
  • the ruffles were made up of pyramidal crystal faces of the ⁇ 110 ⁇ (rhombic dodecahedral) crystallographic form.
  • Figure 26E is an electron micrograph showing the rather large ruffles which resulted.
  • the ruffles were made up of pyramidal crystal faces of the (331) trisoctahedral crystallographic form.
  • Emulsion Example 10 illustrates the preparation of a ruffled octahedral silver bromide emulsion using Compound I as a growth modifier.
  • Emulsion Example 12 illustrates the preparation of a ruffled octahedral silver bromide emulsion using Compound X as growth modifier. As the precipitation continued, the formation of trisoctahedra became evident.
  • Emulsion Example 13 illustrates the formation of octahedral silver bromide emulsions which have their surface area increased by ruffles in the form of uniform ridges.
  • Figures 30A and 30B are electron micrographs of the resulting emulsion grains produced by Examples 13A and 13B, respectively.
  • the faces are uniformly covered with ridges running in a direction perpendicular to the (110) Ag rows of the lattice. Trisoctahedral faces have begun to form. In Example 13B the ridges remain evident, while the macro habit has become (331) trisoctahedral.
  • Figures 31A and 31B are electron micrographs of the resulting emulsion grains produced by Examples 14A and 14B, respectively.
  • Figure 31A shows a pattern of growths covering the crystal faces.
  • Figure 31B illustrates the formation of ⁇ 533 ⁇ icositetrahedral grains with continued precipitation.
  • This example illustrates an increase in photographic speed which can be realized with ruffled grains according to the present invention.
  • Control Emulsion 16B was modified after precipitation and before coating by increasing the total content of Compound V to 3.75 millimole/Ag mole, which equaled its concentration in Example Emulsion 16A.
  • Example Emulsion 16A had a significantly greater blue speed relative to its 365 nm speed than did the control unruffled Control Emulsions 16B and 16C with a normal spectral sensitization or with an equal amount of sensitizing dye equal to that of the ruffled grain Example Emulsion 16A, respectively.
