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 Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
