Samarium metal

Samarium metal target is a kind of material with samarium (Sm) as the main component for physical vapour deposition (PVD) and other techniques. It is mainly used to make samarium targets with certain shapes and sizes, which are used to deposit samarium thin films on various substrates or participate in the process of thin film synthesis.

Basic information:

Appearance and Shape: it is usually in the shape of round or rectangular flat plate. The colour is silver-grey, which is typical for Samarium metal.
Density and Purity: The density is about 7.52g/cm³.
Sizing: Sizing depends on the specific application and parameters of the sputtering equipment.

Areas of application

Electronic device field: Samarium metal Used to make magnetic film in magnetic storage devices (such as hard disc drive). The magnetic property of samarium can improve the storage density and read/write performance of storage devices.

Optical field: It plays a role in the preparation of optical films, for example, it can be used as a component of optical filters or reflector coatings. The optical properties of samarium thin film can be used to adjust the characteristics of light reflection, refraction and absorption, which are used in laser technology, optical communication and other fields.

Material science research field: as a tool for material research, it is used to prepare various samarium-based thin films in the laboratory, to study their physical and chemical properties, such as magnetic properties, electrical properties, and interfacial properties with other materials, etc., to provide experimental basis for the development of new materials.
