Emerging Material Technologies, Inc. (EMT) was established in 2002 out of Dr. Radion Mogilevsky’s vision to continue expanding the crystal growth technology in order to provide the highest quality and best value to the customers. To this end, he focused his efforts towards cost reduction, raw materials quality improvement, and crystal diameter and weight increase coupled with growth time reduction. The Company has developed and patented crystal raw material plasma densification method aimed at achieving 99.999% aluminum oxide purity. 

EMT is the first company to address the need for higher purity, hydrogen (water) free raw materials to increase yield and quality, and reduce cost of crystal growth. All crystal growth companies are using, as raw material, the waste sapphire crystals grown through the Vernuil method. Problems in quality consistency and purity arise as Vernuil equipments are also used to grow colored sapphire crystals, contaminating the white crackles. Sapphire crystals grown by Vernuil method have very high hydrogen (water) concentration. Less optimal yields result when these raw materials are subjected to the crystal growth methods because of high sensitivity to the quality of raw material, especially for extra large crystals. The Company’s new plasma densification method will generate high purity densified aluminum oxide (HPDA®) crackles in the shapes of cylinders and spheres.
