Nickel Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Nickel oxide is the chemical compound with the formula NiO. The mineralogical form of NiO, bunsenite, is very rare. It is classified as a basic metal oxide.
Interest in nickel oxide thin films is growing fast due to their importance in science and technology. Nickel Oxide (NiO) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%) is a semitransparent p-type semiconducting material with band gap width. Nickel oxide shows attractive electric, electrochromic and thermoelectric properties as well as high chemical resistance. Nickel oxide is an attractive material for use as antiferromagnetic layers, p-type transparent conducting films, in electrochromic devices and as a functional sensor layer for chemical sensors. Nickel oxide sputtering targets can be used as gas sensors or developed to fabricate photodetectors. Lately there has been a lot of interest in nickel oxide’s optical and electrochromic properties connected with its possible application in displays and “smart windows”.
In the bulk, nickel oxide has a cubic structure and thin films of nickel oxide have been fabricated by various physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques such as reactive sputtering and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The obtained layers showed chemical stability as well as excellent optical and electrical properties. It is well known that the structural properties, composition and surface morphology of materials in thin film form depend on the used deposition techniques, deposition conditions and post-deposition processing.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...
