Properties of Indium

Properties: Indium , shortened as In, is a chemical element with atomic number 49. It is a part of the aluminum family and is located in Group 13 of the periodic table. It has a low melting point for metals, of about 156 Celsius. In pure form it sticks to itself or other metals very firmly. Indium is a shimmering white, glossy metal with a density of 7.31 grams for each cubic centimeter. It is one of the softest metals ever known; Indium is much milder than lead. An abnormal property of indium is that it delivers a "tin cry." A tin cry is a scream-like sound made when the metal is twisted. Indium's fundamental spectral lines are a splendid indigo blue. Indium  has a boiling point of about 2000 Celsius and a melting point of about 156 Celsius. It has the uncommon property of staying delicate and workable at low temperatures. This property enables it to be utilized as a part of uncommon gear required for temperatures close to total zero. Absolute zero is the coldest ...

Indium Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Applications

Indium is a chemical element with symbol In and atomic number 49. Indium is a very soft and malleable element. Indium is most notably used in the semiconductor industry, in low-melting-point metal alloys such as solders, in soft-metal high-vacuum seals, and in the production of transparent conductive coatings of  indium tin oxide (ITO)  on glass. Indium Nanoparticles/Nanopowder and Their Applications                                                 Like many  nanoparticles/nanopowder , Indium nanoparticles/nanopowder are used in different areas. For example, Indium nanoparticles/nanopowder can be used in semiconducting materials that are used for electronic devices and other materials like  solar cells . In LCD panels also  Indium nanopowder/nanoparticles  are used. Indium nanopowders/ nanoparticle can be added into welding al...

Indium Zinc Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Indium zinc oxide is a chemical compound which consist of indium and zinc metals and oxygen. Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO (InZnO) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.99%)  can be used in various applications by obtaining a film. Let's see the applications of indium zinc oxide. Transparent conducting oxide thin films such as indium tin oxide (ITO),  zinc oxide (ZnO) , and tin oxide (SnO 2 ) are extensively used as transparent electrodes for touch panels displays, thin films solar cells and flat panel displays. Especially, indium tin oxide thin films have been generally used but these thin films should be heat-treated over 300   o C to have the high transmittance and low resistivity. In addition, high temperature annealing of indium tin oxide films limits the devices to be fabricated on plastic substrate. Recently, it has been reported that new transparent conducting oxide thin film such as indium zinc oxide (IZO) can have high transmittanc...

Indium Tin Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Indium Tin Oxide, ITO (In203:Sn02) Sputtering Targets (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.125'' , Purity: 99.99%) , is a ternary composition of indium, tin and oxygen in varying proportions. Depending on the oxygen content, it can either be described as a ceramic or alloy. Indium tin oxide is one of the most widely used transparent conducting oxides because of its two main properties: its electrical conductivity and optical transparency, as well as the ease with which it can be deposited as a thin film. As with all transparent conducting films, a compromise must be made between conductivity and transparency, since increasing the thickness and increasing the concentration of charge carriers increases the material's conductivity, but decreases its transparency. Thin films of  indium tin oxide  are most commonly deposited on surfaces by physical vapor deposition. Often used is electron beam evaporation, or a range of sputter deposition techniques. Highly transparent and electr...
