Nickel Metal Nickel Single Crystal Substrate 5x5 10x10 20x20 1453°C Density 8.9 g/cm3 High Hardness
Nickel (Ni) substrates, particularly in the form of nickel wafers, are extensively used in material science and electronics research due to their versatile properties. Available in dimensions of 5x5x0.5 mm, 10x10x1 mm, and 20x20x0.5 mm, these substrates are oriented along key crystallographic planes such as <100>, <110>, and <111>. These orientations are critical in influencing thin-film deposition, epitaxial growth, and surface studies, as they allow for precise lattice matching with various materials. Nickel substrates are commonly employed in applications involving catalysis, magnetic materials, and superconductors due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Their high mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion also make them suitable for advanced coating techniques, sensor development, and nanoelectronics. The combination of crystallographic precision, dimensional flexibility, and high-quality nickel material ensures that these substrates provide optimal performance in experimental and industrial applications. With their ability to support a wide range of thin films and coatings, Ni substrates are integral to the development of new materials and devices across various high-tech fields.
