Silver Sputtering Targets and Applications

Silver is a chemical element with symbol Ag and atomic number 47. Silver is a soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of applications of silver sputtering target, because of their unique optical, electrical and mechanical properties. By these properties silver plays an increasing role in many areas of today’s technology especially in the microelectronic device applications and optical industries. The ability to deposit thin films of various materials is important for the fabrication of modern microelectronic devices and for enabling a variety of investigations of fundamental physical principles. Interest in metal thin films as contacts in microelectronic devices such as silver, has increased for a wide range of applications including transparent conducting material, doped material, flat panel displays, light emitting diodes and solar cells.
Silver sputtering targets have many advantages for microelectronic devices like low specific resistivity, good thermal stability, high uniformity across the flat substrate, particle contamination, good adherence to substrate and low manufacturing costs.
Silver nanoparticles and sputtering targets are not just used for microelectronic devices. Silver nanoparticles and sputtering targets are reported to be useful for many applications also such as antibacterial activities, fluorescence, catalysis, and plasmon-based sensor. For silver nanoparticles with the sizes of less than 10 nm, they are highly required for biomedical applications, for example, diagnosis and treatment in which urinary excretion and elimination from the living body is possible.
Ag sputtering targets can be used to obtain films by using different sputtering methods. One of these methods is direct current magnetron sputtering. Direct current magnetron sputtering has long been used to fabricate thin films, nanostructured coatings, and nanoparticles of various materials, including metallic oxide, nitride, and carbide films.

Graphene Tyres and Graphene Brake Pads

Could Graphene Use Create A Distruptive Technology In Tyre Sector? Almost every day, we see new applications emerging from graphene. The fact is certain; graphene is a disruptive technology that holds huge potential for commercialization. Graphene has abilities to open new markets and even replace existing materials or material technologies. A brand new application of graphene came out which is producing graphene tyres and brake pads. https://www.canadacarbon.com/brake-linings-gasket... In 2016 GraphChina (Graphene Innovation Conference); Sentury and Huagao launched their first electrostatic conducting graphene tyre on September 22nd. 2-3 weeks before the conference Sentury and Huagao officially announced their cooperation on the product. During the press conference, Sentury’s engineers (which is branded with the Landsail moniker), revealed that the latest test data shows their graphene-enhanced tyre offers; 1.8 meters shorter stopping distances (6 % improvement on conv...

Characterization and potential uses of Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle

   Hydroxylapatite , also referred to as hydroxyapatite (HA), is a calcium apatite in its naturally occurring mineral form with the formula Ca5(PO4)3(OH). A fluorapatite or chlorapatite may be produced if the OH−ion is replaced by fluoride, chloride or carbonate. Hydroxylapatite crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal pattern. Pure hydroxylapatite powder is of white color. However, naturally occurring apatites can also have brown, yellow, or green hue, resembling the coloration of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) , nanodots or nanocrystals are spherical or faceted high surface area oxide magnetic nanostructured particles. Nanoscale Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN) are normally 20-80 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 15 - 50 m2/g range but sometimes available with an average particle size of 100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m2/g. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticle (HApN...
