About (7N) 99.99999% Cadmium Metal

American Elements manufactures highly pure 7N 99.99999% cadmium metal in various forms including pieces, shot, disc, and rod for high technology applications such as the MBE growth of semiconductor crystals or vacuum deposition of thin films. 7N cadmium serves as a precursor for materials like cadmium telluride (CdTe), cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium sulfide (CdS), and . These materials are commonly used in photovoltaic solar cells, electronics, and optics, especially in the form of nanoparticles and quantum dots for LEDs and other lighting applications. Examples of available American Elements quantum products include CdSe, CdS, CdSe/CdS, CdSe/ZnS; see quantum dots for all available forms. High purity cadmium is also used in the production of scintillation crystals for nuclear radiation detectors like cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) and cadmium zinc telluride (CZT),. American Elements' cadmium production processes ensure the absolute minimum amount of impurities, allowing our products to be used as reference materials for impurity analysis and equipment calibration. We also produce 6N (99.9999%) cadmium as well as other lower purity forms (see cadmium metal).

See more Cadmium products. Cadmium (atomic symbol: Cd, atomic number: 48) is a Block D, Group 12, Period 5 element with an atomic weight of 112.411. Cadmium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of Cadmium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 2 and its electron configuration is [Kr]4d10 5s2. The cadmium atom has a radius of 151 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 230 pm. Cadmium was discovered and first isolated by Karl Samuel Leberecht Hermann and Friedrich Stromeyer in 1817. In its elemental form, cadmium has a silvery bluish gray metallic appearance. Cadmium makes up about 0.1 ppm of the earth's crust. Elemental CadmiumNo significant deposits of cadmium containing ores are known, however, it is sometimes found in its metallic form. It is a common impurity in zinc ores and is isolated during the production of zinc. Cadmium is a key component in battery production and particular pigments and coatings due to its distinct yellow color. Cadmium oxide is used in phosphors for television picture tubes. The name Cadmium originates from the Latin word 'cadmia' and the Greek word 'kadmeia'.
