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 ...

Researchers have developed an innovative technology in plasma spraying-physical vapor deposition known as alternating vapor/liquid phase deposition. By adjusting the arc current, researchers can ...
