Properties and Applications of Lutetium Oxide

Lutetium oxide (Lu₂O₃) is the oxide form compound of one of the rare earth metal lutetium. Lutetium oxide has also different names like lutecia and lutetium sesquioxide. Lutetium oxide has a white color. Lutetium oxide is not soluble in water. Lutetium oxide has a cubic crystal structure. 2487^oC is the melting point, which quite high enough, of lutetium oxide compound. Due to lutetium oxide’s air sensitivity lutetium oxide is compatible with strong oxidizing agents. Therefore, there is need for lutetium oxide to be avoided from moisture and carbon dioxide. Moreover, lutetium oxide is the one of the promising laser host materials for high power and ultrashort pulse lasers. Lutetium oxide has a wide band gap (5.5eV).

Lutetium oxide is used as cracking, alkylation, hydrogenation and polymerization

Lutetium oxide is used as specialty in ceramics, glass, phosphorous and lasers

Lutetium oxide is used as starting material in the production of laser crystals

Lutetium oxide is used in X-ray applications

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm) shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene ) is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
