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.

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 ...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
