Lead Zirconium Titanate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lead Zirconium Titanate, PZT (O5PbTiZr) Sputtering Targets, Size:3'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9% is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb[ZrxTi1-x]O3 (0≤x≤1). Lead zirconium titanate is also called PZT, it is a ceramic perovskite material that shows a marked piezoelectric effect, meaning that the compound changes shape when an electric field is applied. Lead zirconium titanate is used in a number of practical applications such as ultrasonic transducers and piezoelectric resonators.
Lead zirconium titanate exhibits greater sensitivity and have a higher operating temperature. Due to its physical strength, chemical inertness, tailorability, and relatively inexpensive manufacture costs, it is one of the most commonly used piezo ceramics used in the industry.
Lead Zirconium Titanate, PZT (O5PbTiZr) Sputtering Target based materials are components of ultrasound transducers and ceramic capacitors, STM/AFM actuators (tubes).
Lead zirconium titanate is known has the highest dielectric constant among advanced ceramic material. This is due to its perovskite structure that exists in high orientation of lead zirconium titanate resulted to dielectric constant which is looking forward to improving the storage capability of capacitor. Instead of being a ferroelectric material provided by its perovskite structure, Lead Zirconium Titanate, PZT (O5PbTiZr) Sputtering Target also has large band gap (3.2-3.7 eV) which make it suitable as semiconductor material as well. This indeed put lead zirconium titanate under potential material that could perform broader application especially for organic capacitor.
The preparation of lead zirconium titanate thin film were soon discovered by many techniques such as sol-gel process, pulse laser deposition, radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter, and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) would also may affect the performance of electrical and structural properties thin films. In addition, rf magnetron sputter is considered as reliable method compared to other because it produces uniformity and smooth surface of thin film.

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 th...

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. Figure: Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) It ha...
