Thulium(Tm)Sputtering Target
Thulium sputtering target is a metal target made of high-purity Thulium (Tm) metal. It has a melting point of 1545°C, a boiling point of 1947°C, and a density of 9.3208g/cm3.
Pure thulium metal has a bright, silvery luster, which tarnishes on exposure to air. The metal can be cut with a knife, as it has a Mohs hardness of 2 to 3; it is malleable and ductile.
Thulium has been used in high-temperature superconductors similarly to yttrium. Thulium potentially has use in ferrites, ceramic magnetic materials that are used in microwave equipment. Thulium is also similar to scandium in that it is used in arc lighting for its unusual spectrum, in this case, its green emission lines, which are not covered by other elements.
