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.

Carbon Nanotubes Specifications and Properties Carbon Nanotubes, simply CNTs, are allotropes of carbon with a round and hollow nanostructure. These barrel shaped carbon molecules have crucial properties, which are significant for nanotechnology, hardware, optics and other different fields of materials science and innovation. The carbon nanotube’s excellent quality as a strong and firm material laid the basis on many applications. Not to mention carbon nanotubes exceptional heat conductivity, electrical and mechanical properties, Carbon Nanotubes are used as additives to diverse auxiliary materials. In terms of rigidity and flexibility Carbon Nanotubes are the stiffest and strongest materials. These quality outcomes from the covalent sp2 bonds framed between the individual carbon molecules. Unlike Graphene , Carbon Nanotubes are either conductive or semiconducting along the tubular hub. Carbon Nanotubes also have absorption, fluorescence properties. Bulk Carbon nanotubes are util...

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...
