Carbon Sputtering Targets and Applications

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon's ability to give reactions with the most the elements makes it a vital for life.
As we mentioned above carbon is an element that gives reactions easily and this property of carbon make it useful in too many applications. When we focus on nanaparticles of carbon, we see that we can obtain thin films with these particles and use them for various aims. Now let's look at the properties of carbon sputtering targets and how we can obtain them.
Carbon sputtering targets, which have unique characteristics from the wide tunability of their chemical bonds. There are different ways to obtain carbon films and magnetron sputtering is one of these ways. There are three possible mechanisms for the deposition of carbon films with magnetron sputtering. First, the use of argon positive ions may induce sputtering of carbon atoms onto film surfaces like knock-on collision. Second, continuous bombardment of argon ions may enhance the densification of sputtered carbon atoms on the films. Finally, the conversion of sp2to sp3bonds, driven by high local stress, would be generated by the intense bombardment of argon ions.
Porous carbon films that can be obtained by magnetron sputtering are important for various applications such as in gas separation, ultra-filtration, membrane reactors, fuel cells, and bio-sensors. To see how carbon films can be obtained by magnetron sputtering you may check the paper below:

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...
