The Definition and Attributes of GaAs Wafer

A compound of arsenic and gallium elements, GaAs Wafer, is one of the products that constitute the raw materials of chips. Ga stands for gallium and As stands for arsenic in the word GaAs.

Gallium in a GaAs Wafer is in general used in the production of semiconductors, barometers, light emitting diodes, thermometers and electronic circuits. It is a silvery metal and quite soft which makes it easy to be used in chips as well. Gallium element, which is a kind of post transitional metal, has the ability to bond easily with most of the metals on earth. It is highly deployed in the production of low melting alloys.
Gallium arsenide of a GaAs Wafer has the attribute of generating laser light from electricity in a direct manner. There are two types of GaAs Wafer; polycrystalline and single crystal. These wafers are utilized in micro electronics and opto electronics production in order to make LED, microwave circuits and LD. It is deployed in solar panels also.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...

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 ...
