Facts about Erbium Rare Earth Element

*Carl Gustaf Mosander who was a Swedish Chemist discovered Erbium Rare Earth Element in 1843. Erbium’s chemical formula is Er.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element is the 12^th element in the lanthanide series. Erbium Element is a rare earth element which is colored silvery-white.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element soft, bright and malleable metal is considered to be slightly toxic however, recent studies demonstrates that this metal is beneficial for metabolism.
* Erbium Rare Earth Element’s reaction with air and water happens slowly and Erbium dissolves when it gets into reaction with acids.
* Erbium Metal can be used in different kind of business areas. For example Erbium can be used in nuclear reactor control bars or Erbium can be used in glass production as a colorant.

* Erbium Rare Earth Element which is mostly used in Chemical Industry melts at 1,522.00 ◦C and boils at 2,510.00◦C.

* Erbium Rare Earth Element is hard to find erbium in nature as a free metal but Erbium can be found in some minerals like monazite, xenotime, euxenite etc.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
