Iron Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Iron oxide is a chemical compound with chemical formula of Fe3O4. Iron Oxide (Fe3o4) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'',Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%) occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite. Iron oxides are interesting due to their catalytic, magnetic, and semiconducting properties, and because they are produced during corrosion. Their applications include, for example, usage as pigments, catalysts in styrene synthesis, and as a material for high-density magnetic storage.
Thin films of iron oxide sputtering targets can be obtained by different deposition methods and used for various purposes.
Due to the predicted half-metallic nature and high polarization, iron oxide thin films have drawn a great deal of interest as promising candidates for application in tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) devices. Single crystalline thin films have been epitaxially grown on MgO substrates, due to the good lattice match between the oxides. Polycrystalline iron oxide thin films have also been deposited on Si substrates to study the properties. The deposition methods used to date include plasma assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from oxide targets, and reactive sputter deposition from an Fe target with Ar–O2 mixture gas flow.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...
