Antimony Sputtering Targets and Their Applications

Antimony (Sb) has an atomic number of 51, placing it in group 15 of the periodic table along with arsenic and bismuth. It has a shiny metallic lustre and is bluish-white. In general antimony’s chemical properties are very similar to those of arsenic, although it does not have the same reputation as a toxin. Within the earth’s crust its average natural abundance is between 0.2 and 0.5 parts per million.

Antimony has very well fire retardance property and so antimony sputtering targets can be used for fire retardant coatings.

Also for optoelectronic devices like LEDs, laser diodes, photodiodes and solar cells antimony sputtering targets can be used. Antimony can be used with other elements like tin to obtain alloys to use in these areas. You may find an article written about this subject below:

Antimony is increasingly being used in semiconductors as a dopant in n-type silicon wafers for diodes, infrared detectors, and Hall-effect devices.

Antimony and its compounds can be used as sputtering targets by combining with the other elements like indium. For example indium antimony oxide can be used as sputtering agent to obtain transparent conductive film. You may read the paper written about this application from the link given below:

Carbon Nanotube Threads

Since its discovery, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted many interests in different technology fields due to its extraordinary properties. Properties such as, high strength, great electrical and thermal conductivity, light weight and flexibility made CNT one of the best materials for wide range of applications. However, from its name it can be understood that CNT is a nanoscale material which is very small to be applied for the production of daily products. Researchers all around the world are working on finding methods and techniques which could produce new materials with the extraordinary properties of CNT. Image retrieved from: https://worldindustrialreporter.com/strong-light-flexible-carbon-nanotubes-threads-with-ultrahigh-conductivity/ One of these research is focusing on the production of high strength threads that can be used in the manufacturing of fabrics, cables and ropes. An international group of scientists were able to produce a flexible conductive thread that i

Multi Walled Carbon Nanotube Dispersions

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted enormous attention in recent years due to its unique physical, electronic, optical and potential applications in materials science and nanotechnology. The van der Waals interaction between tubes, however, makes CNTs aggregate in most organic solvents and aqueous solutions, which is the major limitation of their practical applications.Various approaches have been studied to alter the CNT surface to promote the dispersion of individual nanotubes and prevent their reaggregation. On the basis of this widely accepted viewpoint, numerous techniques such as covalent bonding, surfactant coating and polymer wrapping have been developed for surface modification or sidewall functionalization.These methods, however, are complicated, time-consuming and cause permanent damage to the CNT structure and properties of the surface, which produces residues of the dispersion agent for the final product.
