Magnesium Fluoride Sputtering Targets and Applications

Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.9%), is an inorganic compound with the formula MgF2. The compound is a white crystalline salt and is transparent over a wide range of wavelengths, with commercial uses in optics that are also used in space telescopes. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral sellaite.
Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) Sputtering Targets can be used in many various applications. Magnesium Fluoride sputtering targets can be use in semiconductor, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) display and optical applications.
We will give you an example which shows how Magnesium Fluoride (MgF2) Sputtering Targets can be used for anti-reflective coating on glass substrate. An anti-reflection nano coating (AR coating) is a dielectric thin-film coating applied to an optical surface in order to reduce the optical reflectivity of that surface in a certain wavelength range. Ideally, an antireflection coating should have a refractive index equal to the square root of the index of the glass substrate. The most common material for a single-layer coating is magnesium fluoride, which has a relatively low index of about 1.38 at visible wavelengths. Magnesium fluoride is a dielectric material with a wide transmission range and a low refractive index. So it can be used as anti-reflective nano coating to reduce the loss of light in lenses or mirrors. There are various methods of preparing AR nano coating on glass substrates. One of the processes that an be used for this application is ion-beam sputtering method.
Ion-beam sputtering (IBS) is a method in which the target is external to the ion source. A source can work without any magnetic field like in a hot filament ionization gauge. Magnesium fluoride is a key compound which can be used in ion beam sputtering applications.

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...
