CY10329 Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 Single Crystal Substrate (100) 10x10x1.0 mm

Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 Single Crystal Substrate (100) 10x10x1.0 mm Description

Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 Single Crystal Substrate (100) 10x10 mm is manufactured through a controlled crystal growth process using CaCO3, providing a clearly defined (100) crystallographic plane. The 10x10 mm dimensions ensure compatibility with standard laboratory equipment while the 1.0 mm thickness offers a stable platform for experimental setups. Its chemical inertness minimises reactive interference, making it suitable for optical characterisation and surface analysis in controlled settings.

Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 Single Crystal Substrate (100) 10x10x1.0 mm Packing

The substrate is individually packaged in an anti-static container with foam cushioning to mitigate mechanical stress during transit. It is sealed in a dust-resistant pouch and lined with a scrim to prevent surface contamination. Packaging supports customisation with additional labels or compartmentalisation. It is advised to store in a temperature-controlled, dry environment to maintain material integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What techniques are used to ensure the (100) orientation in this substrate?
A1: The substrate is fabricated using controlled single crystal growth methods followed by X-ray diffraction analysis to verify the (100) orientation. This systematic approach helps maintain crystallographic consistency for reproducible experimental outcomes.

Q2: How does the 1.0 mm thickness benefit thin-film deposition processes?
A2: A 1.0 mm thickness provides a consistently rigid platform that minimises substrate flex during processing. This dimensional stability helps in achieving uniform heat distribution and film growth during thin-film deposition experiments.

Q3: What handling precautions are recommended for this CaCO3 substrate?
A3: Given its sensitivity to surface abrasions, it is recommended to handle the substrate with anti-static gloves and keep it in a dust-free, temperature-controlled environment. Such measures prevent contamination and preserve its flat, defined surface.

Additional Information

Calcium Carbonate-based substrates are frequently employed in material science research to study crystallographic directions and interface behaviours. Their controlled fabrication processes enable rigorous evaluation of phenomena at the microstructural level. Detailed analysis techniques, such as electron microscopy and diffraction methods, contribute to a better understanding of crystal growth dynamics.

In broader applications, crystalline substrates serve as fundamental platforms for evaluating thin-film deposition, optical device calibration, and surface property measurements. The defined (100) orientation and controlled dimensions support consistent performance in laboratory and industrial environments, enhancing experimental reproducibility and data integrity.
