Lithium Tantalate Sputtering
Target Description
Lithium tantalate sputtering target is a silvery sputtering material containing Li, Ta and O. Lithium tantalate is a ferroelectric material that can be used in lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium is a chemical element originated from the Greek ‘lithos’ meaning stone. It was first mentioned in 1817 and observed by A. Arfwedson. The isolation was later accomplished and announced by W. T. Brande. “Li” is the canonical chemical symbol of lithium. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 3 with location at Period 2 and Group 1, belonging to the s-block. The relative atomic mass of lithium is 6.941(2) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.
Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum.
