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.

Improving Dialysis Process with Graphene

Researchers from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Departments of MIT recently showed that graphene is a powerful material candidate for use in the dialysis systems (such as hemodialysis machines in medical institutes for filtering human blood). In order to prepare graphene as a dialysis material, researchers used a procedure opposite to the general treatments that nanotechnology people use. Dialysis is a process of filtering different solutions such as human blood by a membrane in order to remove waste molecules, drugs, chemical residues from the solution. In some cases, the process can be used for purification of chemicals or isolation of different molecules for medical diagnosis. It is an essential process for scientists especially in the medical operations.

Graphene Oxide Dispersion

Graphene oxide refers to a mono-atomic layer material obtained when graphite crystals are oxidized. This is one of the graphene materials that are commercially available because of  its ability to dissolve in water  which makes the oxidation process suitable. In this article, we will talk about the  synthesis, the properties and some of the applications of graphene oxide dispersion in water . Seven Properties of Graphene Oxide Dispersion The properties of a material are defined through its structure, however, this material is very peculiar, since there is no unambiguous model of this material. Graphene Oxide dispersion offers remarkable physical, chemical and mechanical properties that give the opportunity to new applications. Graphene Oxide is amorphous , but, in general, graphene oxide can be described as a two-dimensional sheet containing honeycomb carbon atoms with functional groups of hydroxide and oxygen, unlike the graphene model that seeks to completely re...
