Specifications of Yttrium Rare Earth Element

*Yttrium was found by Carl Arrhenius in 1787 in Sweden. Later on Johan Gadolin made lots of researches about this element. Its chemical symbol is Y.
*Yttrium silvery-white metal is considered to be slightly toxic when it is in the water soluble compounds. Yttrium rare earth metal's insoluble compounds are accepted to be non-toxic.
*Yttrium is a soft and silvery metal. Most of its compounds are colorless. It is usually ignited in air when heated.
*Although Yttrium element is very reactive in nature, it is not easy to find this element free in nature.
*Through Yttrium's reaction with water, yttrium hydroxide and hydrogen gas is formed.
*Yttrium rare earth element is usually used in making alloys and increasing the strength of some metals. It is also used in electrical and electronic industry.

*Yttrium oxide also is used to produce yttrium-iron-garnets, which are very effective microwave filters.

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 ...
