Lanthanum Nickel Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Lanthanum nickel oxide with the chemical formula of LaNiO 3  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.
