Barium Fluoride Sputtering Target

Description

Barium fluoride sputtering target from Stanford Advanced Materials is a fluoride ceramic sputtering material with the formula BaF2.

Barium is the fifth element in group 2 and is a soft, silvery alkaline earth metal. Because of its high chemical reactivity, barium is never found in nature as a free element. Its hydroxide, known in pre-modern times as baryta, does not occur as a mineral, but can be prepared by heating barium carbonate. The most common naturally occurring minerals of barium are barite (barium sulfate, BaSO4) and witherite (barium carbonate, BaCO3), both insoluble in water. The name barium originates from the alchemical derivative “baryta”, from Greek βαρύς (barys), meaning “heavy.”

Fluorine, also called fluorin, is a chemical element that originated from the Latin ‘fluere’, meaning to flow. It was first mentioned in 1810 and observed by A.-M. Ampère. The isolation was later accomplished and announced by H. Moissan. “F” is the canonical chemical symbol of fluorine. Its atomic number in the periodic table of elements is 9 with a location at Period 2 and Group 17, belonging to the p-block. The relative atomic mass of fluorine is 18.9984032(5) Dalton, the number in the brackets indicating the uncertainty.
