Hafnium Oxide

Hafnium oxide is an oxide powder used in optical-coating materials and dielectric-material research. The listed grades distinguish hafnium oxide content from the zirconium oxide ratio, allowing these criteria to be reviewed independently.

Material Selection
- Select the required grade using both the hafnium oxide purity and zirconium oxide/(hafnium oxide+zirconium oxide) limits.
- Confirm powder size and any conversion into granules, pellets or other coating-source forms with the intended deposition process.
Applications
- High-k dielectrics
- Optical coatings
- Thermal-barrier applications
