What Are Sputtering Targets?Sputtering targets are the source materials for the preparation of sputtered thin films. In particular, high-purity sputtering targets are used in the physical vapor ...

Researchers have now found a way to make nuclear clocks a thousand times less radioactive and more cost-effective, thanks to a method creating thin films of thorium tetrafluoride (ThF4).

Solid-state clock Illustration of how thorium atoms are vaporized (bottom) and then deposited in a thin film on the substrate’s surface (middle). This film could form the basis for a nuclear clock ...

When it comes to the hardest working items in your wardrobe, jewellery is certainly up there, along with handbags and boots. But when our jewellery comes into contact with sunscreen, water, hand ...

A team of researchers, led by JILA and NIST Fellow and University of Colorado, found that physical vapour deposition (PVD) of thorium-229 could reduce the amount of this expensive and radioactive ...

Abstract: Sputter deposition, also known as physical vapor deposition, or PVD, is a widely used technique for depositing thin metal layers on semiconductor wafers. These layers are used as diffusion ...
