Cerium Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Cerium is a member of the lanthanide series of metals and is the most abundant amongst the rare-earth elements in the earth’s crust. Cerium oxide can be useful in various optical and electronic applications because of its high refractive index and its dielectric constant. Also, for corrosion protective coatings cerium oxide can be chosen instead of chromate based coatings. You may reach out a paper related to this application from the link given below. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256690910_Deposition_of_cerium_oxide_thin_films_by_reactive_magnetron_sputtering_for_the_development_of_corrosion_protective_coatings Cerium oxide is an inexpensive the most studied material and is widely used in many applications such as polishing materials, automotive exhaust catalyst, gas sensors, electrolyte materials, oxygen storage, oxide fuel cells. Cerium oxide is suitable for microelectronics, various optical, electrooptical, and optoelectronic devices, due to its unique properti...
