Nb:SrTiO3 Crystals and Substrates
Conductivity: The incorporation of niobium imparts conductivity to NSTO crystals, which is a significant advantage over undoped STO. This conductivity enables their use in electronic devices and thin film growth applications where electrical properties are crucial.
Structural Similarity to STO: NSTO crystals retain the excellent lattice match and physical properties of STO, making them ideal substrates for epitaxial growth of materials with Perovskite structures.
Customizable Doping Concentrations: NSTO crystals are available with various niobium doping concentrations, such as 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, and 0.7%, allowing researchers and manufacturers to select the optimal doping level for their specific applications.
Versatile Film Growth Technologies: Similar to STO, NSTO substrates can accommodate diverse film growth technologies, including Magnet Sputtering, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), Vaporization, MOCVD, CVD, and laser MBE.
Applications: Electronic Devices, Thin Film Growth Substrates, Optical Windows, Research and Development, etc.
