ABSTRACT:
Improved reaction chamber designs are described that provide for improved control over the flow within the reaction chamber. The reaction chambers contain reactions for particle production from a flowing reactant stream. Improved reactant delivery nozzles are described that are useful for the delivery of gas/vapor reactants and/or aerosol reactants. Improved nozzle designs can result in more uniform reactant flow. Suitable reactors can comprise an electromagnetic radiation source that projects through the reactor to drive the reaction at an electromagnetic radiation reaction zone. The improved nozzle features are suitable for reactors for particle collection and/or for coating of substrates within the reaction chamber.
