American Elements’ Nanometal™, nanofoil manufacturing unit produces ultra thin foil as thin as only 50 nm thick in diameters up to 910 mm. Typically, foils are in thicknesses from 20 nm to 1000 nm, 1 micron, 2 micron, and up to a few microns thick. Nanometal™ ultra thin foil can also be produced on a substrate with a parting agent to permit removal by floating and can then be mounted on frames. Frames may be washers, rings, or more-complicated assemblies. Nanometal™ is one of the many ultra high purity metal forms available from American Elements for semiconductor and other electronic applications and for use in coating and thin film Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Organometallic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) in specific applications such as fuel cells and solar energy. We also produce metallic nanopowders (see also Nanotechnology) and metals by crystallization for this purpose. For foils >1 micron thick see our Beryllium Foil page. We also produce Beryllium as rods, powder and plates. Other shapes are available by request.

Beryllium(Be) atomic and molecular weight, atomic number and elemental symbol Beryllium is a Block S, Group 2, Period 2 element. The number of electrons in each of Beryllium's shells is 2, 2 and its electronic configuration is [He] 2s2. In its elemental form beryllium's CAS number is 7440-41-7. The beryllium atom has a radius of 111.3.pm and it's Van der Waals radius is 200.pm. Beryllium and its salts are toxic as well as carcinogenic. Beryllium is most commonly used in alloys with our base metallic materials. As a 1 - 3% addition to copper it produces Beryllium Bohr Model"beryllium bronze", a highly wear resistant material and with nickel it is used to make spot welder electrodes. Beryllium is available as metal and compounds with purities from 99% to 99.999% (ACS grade to ultra-high purity); metals in the form of foil, sputtering target, and rod, and compounds as submicron and nanopowder. It is used as a coating on X-ray tubes Elemental Berylliumbecause it is transparent to the X-ray range. It emits neutrons on bombardment by alpha rays. It also has applications in the nuclear industry. Beryllium was first discovered by Abbé René-Just Hauy in 1798. The origin of the name Beryllium comes from the Greek word 'beryllos' meaning beryl. See Beryllium research below.
