Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies high-purity Praseodymium Planar Targets for thin-film deposition. Praseodymium is a rare-earth metal with a silvery appearance and a melting point of 931°C. It forms a stable oxide layer in air, giving it excellent resistance to oxidation and environmental degradation—ideal for coatings exposed to heat and reactive conditions.
Known for its magnetic, optical, and electrical characteristics, praseodymium enhances film performance in a range of applications. Its fine grain structure and purity support uniform deposition and consistent sputtering results. SAM offers praseodymium targets in various purities and dimensions to meet system and project specifications.
