Gadolinium Nickel Target: Ideal Sputtering Material for Magnetic and Optical Applications

Gadolinium Nickel Target: A High-Performance Rare Earth Alloy for Thin Film Deposition

Gadolinium Nickel Target (Gd-Ni) is a specialized alloy sputtering target composed of rare earth metal gadolinium (Gd) and transition metal nickel (Ni). Known for its unique magnetic and optical properties, GdNi is widely used in advanced thin film applications such as magnetic storage, sensors, and functional coatings.

🧪 Key Features

  • Composition: Gadolinium (Gd) + Nickel (Ni), typically in a 1:1 ratio (or customized)

  • Purity: ≥99.9%

  • Forms: Planar targets, rotary targets, custom dimensions

  • Microstructure: Dense, homogeneous, fine-grained

  • Magnetic Properties: Exhibits ferromagnetic and paramagnetic behavior depending on composition and temperature

🔍 Main Applications

1. Magnetic Thin Films

GdNi targets are essential for fabricating multilayer magnetic structures, including GMR and TMR devices, widely used in hard disk drives, magnetic sensors, and spintronic devices.

2. Optical Coatings

The optical characteristics of gadolinium make GdNi suitable for UV shielding films and IR reflective layers in precision optics.

3. Advanced Material Research

Researchers use GdNi targets to study magnetic phase transitions, magnetocaloric effects, and rare earth–transition metal interactions in emerging materials science.
