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 2408^oC. Below 1870^oC 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.

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 ...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%) has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before, Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
