Dysprosium Oxide

Dysprosium oxide(Dy2O3) is oxide of one the lanthanides called dysprosium. Dysprosium oxide also called as dysprosia, dysprosium trioxide and didysprosium trioxide. Dysprosium oxide has a pastel yellowish-greenish color and white colors. Dysprosium oxide is almost not soluble in water and thermally stable compound. Dysprosium oxide has a high melting temperature which 2408oC. Below 1870oC dysprosium oxide has a cubic structure which has commercial applications. At higher temperatures dysprosium oxide may have monoclinic or hexagonal structures. And thanks to its hygroscopicity, dysprosium oxide has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphorous, lasers and dysprosium metal halide lamps. Dysprosium oxide has a magnetic, optical, fluorescence and paramagnetic properties.
Dysprosium oxide is used as optical coating for ceramic lamp envelopes
Dysprosium oxide is used as protective layer for optical components
Dysprosium oxide is used as magnetic nanoparticles with several applications due to its magnetic property
Dysprosium oxide is used as a high surface area for catalytic compounds
Dysprosium oxide is used in biomedicine to locate, diagnose and treat diseases
Dysprosium oxide is used in research of cancers, new drug screening and the delivery of drug applications

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Bismuth Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Bismuth oxide with the chemical formula of Bi 2 O 3  is one the most important bismuth compounds. Bismuth oxide has been investigated extensively due to its optical and electrical properties such as large energy gap (from 2 to 4 eV), refractive index and high oxygen ion conductivity at high and medium temperatures. These properties make bismuth oxide one of the most perspective candidates for application in optoelectronics, solar cells and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Bismuth oxide has a few main polymorphic forms that are known as α, β, γ, δ. All polymorphs have different crystal structure and various optical, electrical and mechanical properties. Only two of them, the low temperature monoclinic α-phase and high temperature face-centered cubic δ-phase are stable. The other phases are metastable. Magnetron sputtering is a widespread method because of high deposition rate, dense and highly adhesive films, and possibility of using commercially available large area depositio...
