White meals are an important category of metals used in various industrial applications, just as alloys are. An old use of white metals is their referencing in the antique trade for describing items suspected of containing silver but not hallmarked. As an example, the term “white metal” is used in the British fine art trade...Continue Reading

The third generation of semiconductor materials are those materials with a wide bandgap (Eg≥2.3eV). They usually have high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity, high electron saturation rate and higher radiation resistance. That is why they are used for making high temperature, high frequency, radiation-resistant and high power devices. Typical materials are silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN),...Continue Reading

Thin-film deposition refers to the creation and deposition of thin-film coatings onto a substrate material. Thin-film deposition is applied in several manufacturing processes involving the production of solid-state, optoelectronic, and medical devices and products. It is also utilized to produce other essential materials, such as LED displays, semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers, optical filters, compound semiconductors,...Continue Reading

Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) can be described as a synthetic crystal used as a lasing medium in high-powered solid-state lasers. It consists of Neodymium, Aluminum, and Oxygen in the following proportion: Y3Al5O12. The dopant in the mix is triply-ionized neodymium, Nd(III). It replaces about 1% of the yttrium ions in the host yttrium aluminum...Continue Reading

3D printing has evolved over the past few years, meaning that several things have changed, particularly, the type of products obtainable at the end of the process. The products of 3D printing are as diverse as the many materials used in printing them. Before 3D printing can be realized, you must send a detailed image...Continue Reading
