Gold (Au) Element's Specifications

Properties:
Gold is a rather soft yellow metal. Au(Gold) has the atomic number of 79 and Gold is placed in the same periodic table column as copper and silver. Gold conducts electricity and heat easily, and has an extremely high density. Au(Gold) is hardly oxidized; moreover gold is not affected by most acids and bases. Gold is widely utilized in jewelry in golds pure form or mostly as an alloy. Depending on how much of amount of gold is in alloy, the term ‘carat’ is used. For example, 24-carat is pure gold. However, pure gold is rarely used due to Golds softness, so Gold is mostly alloyed with other metals to make the product durable. Au(Gold) is malleable and ductile, and can be pressed into sheets.
Applications:
Gold is used in Jewelry
Gold is used in Coins
Gold is used in Art, decoration
Gold is used in Architectural ornament
Gold is used in Electroplating
Gold is used in Gears for watches, artificial limb joints
Gold is used in Electrical connectors
Gold is used in Coating electrical conductors
Gold is used in Computer chips, circuits
Gold is used in Dentistry
Gold is used as a catalyst

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 ...
