ABSTRACT:
A radiation-sensitive emulsion is disclosed capable of producing the highest attainable speed compatible with low granularity. The silver halide grains (a) have a mean equivalent circular diameter of less than 0.6 .mu.m; (b) have a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure of the rock salt type; (c) have six {100} faces; (d) contain from 95 to 99.5 mole percent bromide ions and from 0.5 to 5 mole percent iodide ions, based on silver; (e) contain in the face centered cubic crystal lattice structure from 5.times.10.sup.-8 to 1.times.10.sup.-6 mole per silver mole of an iridium dopant comprised of Ir.sup.+3 ions forming coordination bonds with at least five halide ions occupying adjacent crystal lattice positions; and (f) contain in the face centered cubic crystal lattice structure from 1.times.10.sup.-5 to 3.times.10.sup.-4 mole per silver mole of a speed enhancing dopant comprised of divalent Group 8 metal ion chosen from among Fe.sup.+2, Ru.sup.+2 and Os.sup.+2 and at least one coordination ligand more electron withdrawing than fluoride ion; (g) the speed enhancing dopant is located in at least a portion of an internal region of the grains formed after 70 percent and before 90 percent of total grain silver has been precipitated and (h) the iridium dopant is located in at least a portion of a central region of the grains and is separated from the speed enhancing dopant by an interposed region containing at least 10 percent of the total grain silver.
