Erbium Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Erbium oxide with a chemical formula of Er2O3 is an oxide of erbium metal.
The applications of erbium oxide are varied due to their electrical, optical and photoluminescence properties. Nanoscale materials doped with Er+3 are of much interest because they have special particle-size-dependent optical and electrical properties. Erbium oxide doped nanoparticle materials can be dispersed in glass or plastic for display purposes, such as display monitors. The spectroscopy of Er+3 electronic transitions in host crystals lattices of nanoparticles combined with ultrasonically formed geometries in aqueous solution of carbon nanotubes is of great interest for synthesis of photoluminescence nanoparticles in ‘green’ chemistry. Erbium oxide is among the most important rare earth metals used in biomedicine. Erbium oxides are also used as gate dielectrics in semiconductor devices since it has a high dielectric constant (10–14) and a large band gap. Erbium is sometimes used as a coloring for glasses and erbium oxide can also be used as a burnable neutron poison for nuclear fuel.
Erbium oxide films obtained by sputtering can be used for their photoluminescence effect. You may read a patent from the link given below which is related to erbium oxide films’ photoluminescence effect.

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...
