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.

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...
