Abstract
A solution of hydride in liquid nitrogen, the hydride being one that is in gaseous phase at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. The concentration of hydride in the liquid nitrogen is comprised between 0.05 and 10 mol %, preferably between 0.05 and 2 mol %, and more preferably between 0.1 and 0.3 mol %. The hydride is selected from the group consisting of arsine, germane, phosphine (PH.sub.3), diborane and silane (SiH.sub.4) and is preferably silane. Atmospheres prepared from these solutions are useful in the thermal treatment of metals, or for surface treatment, particularly of polymeric or metallic surfaces.
