Formula: Gd
Form: Sputtering Target
Material: Gadolinium
CAS Number: 7440-54-2
Commodity: Metals
Purity:
99%
Hazard Pictogram:
GHS02
Gadolinium Sputtering Targets come in 5 variations available and allow for the deposition of gadolinium thin films via magnetron sputtering. The magnetic properties of gadolinium make it useful for spintronic devices and data storage applications. Its high neutron absorption cross section also enables its use in nuclear reactor control rods and neutron imaging.
