Strontium Titanate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Strontium Titanate is an oxide of strontium and titanium with the chemical formula SrTiO3. At room temperature, it is a centrosymmetric paraelectric material with a perovskite structure.
Strontium Titanate (SrTiO3) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.9%) is an incipient ferroelectric material with physical and electrical properties that make it a promising candidate for a broad range of technology applications, notably those that require frequency- and phase-agile electronic components such as varactors, voltage-controlled oscillators, and phased-array antennas. For device applications, strontium titanate thin films are particularly attractive due to their high dielectric constant, low loss tangent or dissipation factor in the radio frequency (RF) range, and because they exhibit a tunability of their dielectric constant across a broad operational frequency range.
RF sputtering is highly favored thin film deposition method for strontium titanate sputtering targets. Sputter deposition relies on large electric field potentials to strike target surfaces with ionized gas atoms, either inert or reactive. Impinging gas atoms with high kinetic energy release particles from the target surface into the vapor phase, which then rain down on a substrate material to generate a thin film. This technique is desirable for its high throughput thanks to its potential for large area deposition. Sputter systems range from small laboratory setups to industrial production models that handle batches of wafers simultaneously. Sputtering has shown potential to produce very-high-quality thin films with superb microstructural and electrical properties. Sputtering is one the most used methods to obtain strontium titanate thin films.

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 that i

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.
