NdGaO₃ Wafer (Neodymium Gallate Substrate)
High-quality perovskite oxide substrate for superconducting, magnetic, and epitaxial thin film applications
Description
🔷 Overview
NdGaO₃ (Neodymium Gallate) wafer is a high-quality single crystal perovskite oxide substrate widely used for epitaxial growth of complex oxide thin films.
With its excellent lattice matching to high-temperature superconductors such as YBCO (~0.27% mismatch), NdGaO₃ enables high-quality film growth without structural phase transition, making it an ideal substrate for advanced oxide electronics and magnetic materials.
Its orthorhombic crystal structure and high thermal stability further support reliable performance in PLD, MBE, and sputtering deposition processes.
