Magnesium Oxide MgO PLD Target

Material Magnesium Oxide, Magnesia Formula MgO Common Substrates Si, SIO2, GaAs, SrTiO3 Similar Materials Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2 Crystal Structure Cubic   Introduction to the Properties of MgO MgO is a versatile material with a wide band gap (7.7eV) known for its high transparency, dielectric and ferromagnetic properties. It is widely used in thin film form for various devices and investigations deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Water absorption in MgO MgO is a hygroscopic material, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It is important to store MgO in a desiccator or a glove box after opening from its vacuum sealed packaging to prevent moisture contamination. Crystal Structure of MgO The crystal structure of MgO is cubic and its lattice parameters are a=b=c= 4.212 Å Dielectric Properties of MgO MgO has a high dielectric constant, making it useful for various applications in electronics and thin film semiconductor devices. Growth of MgO by PLD MgO can b
