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.

Usage of Silver Conductive Adhesive Paste in Corrosion Protection

In electronics, solders are main material to connect electrical components to substrates which are generally printed circuit boards. Although they are cheap, they are not effective if long term performance is considered since solders have low resistivity to corrosion relatively. Since corrosion reduce reliability, the cost of advanced technological systems such as RADAR, SONAR, LIDAR and more increase. In addition, small signals can be lost, and in huge data transfer, some of the data can be lost also especially which may lead catastrophic failures in critical systems. For instance, surface to air missiles can be launched to target which is not exist if the data coming from detection systems is noisy. Therefore, corrosion protection is necessary, and silver conductive adhesive paste is an essential candidate to replace PbSn solders due to its resistivity to corrosion. Silver conductive adhesive paste provide not only noisy reduction but also electromagnetic interference whi...

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...

Difference between Anatase and Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Nanoparticles

Titanium oxide is the one of the top 50 chemicals which are produced in worldwide. It occurs in nature in three forms anatase, rutile and brookite. However, commonly, anatase and rutile forms have been used and studied. Naturally, it has whitish and opaque appearance, and through purification, it becomes whiter. Difference in crystal structure of these two forms as you can see in Figure 1 aroused interest in discrepancies between these forms, and many studies have been conducted. Figure 1: Crystalline structure of titanium dioxide anatase (a) and rutile (b) Ti and O atoms are represented in white and red respectively. P. Mazzolini, Functional Prop...
