Form: Sputtering Target
Material: Terbium
CAS Number: 7440-27-9
Commodity: Metals
Purity:
99%
Thickness:
1mm
Terbium Sputtering Target offers high purity, magnetic responsiveness, and unique magneto-optical behavior in a precisely engineered disk form optimized for thin-film deposition. Its use in sputtering systems enables the creation of coatings for magneto-optical storage devices, magnetostrictive sensors, and phosphor-based display components. Industries employ terbium sputtering targets for developing Terfenol-D films in sonar transducers, advanced green phosphor coatings for energy-efficient displays, and optical isolators in high-powered laser systems. In research, they support fabrication of rare-earth thin films for spintronic devices, optical modulators, and experimental magnetic refrigeration materials. The target’s consistent density and composition ensure uniform sputtering rates and reproducible film properties, making it a vital material in both manufacturing and R&D of magnetic and optical technologies.
