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.

New Way of Deaf-Mute Communication with 3D Graphene

Image retrieved from: http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2016/09/01/3d-graphene-adds-dimension-to-deaf%E2%80%93mute-communication/ Chinese scientists have developed wearable electronic device with conductive 3D graphene structure to translate sign language into written text. This technology can be applied by injecting graphene ink from a syringe under printed electronic field. For medical field, such as adhesive patches which determine heart, brain signal and neural activity, wearable and bio-integrated medical devices are very important. Due to noticeable properties of cast graphene, for example a 2D honeycomb lattice, excellent mechanical and electrical behaviors, Graphene has an important material in warble technology. However, it is difficult to preserve advantages of Graphene material in a 3D material which has an information about forces from every angle. Yanlin Song  and co-workers at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and Shenyang Jianzhu University...

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

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 ...
