Europium is a chemical element with the symbol Eu and atomic number 63. Europium is the most reactive lanthanide by far, having to be stored under an inert fluid to protect it from atmospheric oxygen or moisture
Europium is excellent at absorbing neutrons, making it valuable in control rods for nuclear reactors. Europium-doped plastic has been used as a laser material. It is also used in making thin super-conducting alloys. Europium has no known biological role.
Europium Sputtering Target
Symbol: Eu
Atomic number: 63
Atomic mass: 151.964 u
Density:5.24 g/cm3
Storage and transportation conditions：Store in dry place, avoid damp, avoid high temperature
Currently our standard round target sizes range from 1" to 20" in diameter, and the rectangular targets are available in lengths up to and over 2000mm in single or multiple piece construction depending on the metal.
The suggestion for using the targets protected in kerosene ( aerospace -grade kerosene ).
1.Prepare 500ml of acetone liquid,open the package of the target,take the target out of the poly bag with tweezers ,and put the target into the acetone liquid for 10 seconds ,repeated the soaking operation for 3 times .
2.Then do the flash drying and put the target into the magnetron sputtering system.
3.Do the pre-sputtering to remove the oxide on the surface.we suggest the 20 mins of pre-sputtering time .
4.Maideli suggestion:do not take the target out of the sputtering chamber until the sputtering processing is finally done . Better to put the target into a vacuum protection in case of oxidation . (If can't be protected in vacuum protection ,put it back into kerosene .
