Lanthanum Strontium Manganate Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lanthanum Strontium Manganate (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) Sputtering Target (Size:1'' ,Thickness:0.250'' , Purity: 99.9%)  is an oxide ceramic material with the general formula La 1−x Sr x MnO 3 , where x describes the doping level. Lanthanum Strontium Manganate (La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) Sputtering Target has a perovskite-based crystal structure, which has the general form ABO 3 . In the crystal, the 'A' sites are occupied by lanthanum and strontium atoms, and the 'B' sites are occupied by the smaller manganese atoms. In other words, the material consists of lanthanum manganite with some of the lanthanum atoms substitutionally doped with strontium atoms. The strontium doping on lanthanum introduces extra holes in the valence band and thus increases electronic conductivity. This material is commonly used as a cathode material in commercially produced  solid oxide fuel cells  because it has a high electrical conductivity at higher temperatures. Also, Lanthanum Strontium ...
