Praseodymium Sputtering Targets and Applications

Praseodymium is a chemical element with symbol Pr and atomic number 59. Praseodymium with being rare-earth metals, is the third member of the lanthanide series. Praseodymium is a soft, silvery, malleable and ductile metal, has an importance for its magnetic, electrical, chemical, and optical properties. Praseodymium is too reactive to be found in native form, and pure praseodymium metal slowly develops a green oxide coating when exposed to air.
Praseodymium sputtering targets can be used in very different applications. For example praseodymium give glasses and enamels a yellow color. Also praseodymium films are used to color ceramics yellow.
Praseodymium films alloyed with nickel has such a strong magnetocaloric effect that it has allowed scientists to approach within one thousandth of a degree of absolute zero.
Praseodymium sputtering targets be used also for corrosion resistant. For example, praseodymium can be implanted into TiN coatings to improve the corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility in blood plasma. Praseodymium ion implantation decreases the hemolysis rate of the TiN coatings so this situation makes this coating material suitable in cardiovascular applications. According to the results of the studies in this area praseodymium ion implantation can effectively improve the corrosion resistance as well as cytocompatibility of TiN coatings in blood plasma.

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
