Lanthanum Nickel Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lanthanum nickel oxide with the chemical formula of LaNiO3 is an important perovskite-type oxide with metallic conductivity.
Lanthanum nickel oxide is a ternary compound with unique chemical and physical properties. It shows an extended range of oxygen-deficient compositions, an uncommon intrinsic n-type metallic conductance, a perovskite crystal structure and thermal and chemical stability. These characteristics make LNO a technologically important perovskite oxide electrode in many potential applications such as ferroelectric thin film capacitors, solid oxide fuel cells, nonvolatile ferroelectric random access memories and multilayer actuators.
Furthermore, LNO films have potential to be used as oxygen pressure and ethanol active sensing layers. Also, the reduced La–Ni mixed oxides are reported to be good catalyst precursors to synthesized organic compounds and to grow large amounts of regular diameter distribution controlled carbon nanotubes. Different chemical and physical thin film deposition techniques have been used to prepare LNO on various substrates. Chemical methods such as chemical vapor deposition, metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition and chemical solution deposition have been used to prepare LNO films. Physical methods such as sputtering, pulsed laser deposition and mist plasma evaporation have also been reported. Wet chemical solution deposition techniques provide simple and versatile alternative methods for thin film preparation.
As a summary we can state that lanthanum nickel oxide forms films with excellent properties and ths compound is one of the promising candidates of the oxide electrodes for thin-film ferroelectric devices. Also in fuel cells lanthanum nickel oxide sputtering targets can be used. If you need lanthanum nickel oxide for your research needs, you can click the links given below and give an order.

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 ...
