Abstract
A vaporizer for receiving and vaporizing particulate material, comprising: a heater having a reticulated material structure composed of ligands that define voids adapted to receive particulate materials, wherein the voids comprise greater than 85% of the volume of the reticulated material structure so that delivery of particulate material into the voids and conduction of vaporized material from the voids is facilitated; causes heat to be produced or conducted by the ligands to cause the particulate material in the voids to vaporize and be conducted through the voids.
