Abstract
There are requirements for a laboratory source of pure silver iodide aerosol with long-term output stability. Aerosol generation by a power-coated hot wire is unsatisfactory. A method of filament preparation providing a uniform, tightly bound layer of silver iodide on a nichrome heating filament is presented. Size, condensation activity, and ice nucleation properties of silver iodide particles produced by a plated filament meet laboratory needs. Long-term stability of aerosol output is an important added benefit.
