Tungsten Zirconium Oxide

Tungsten zirconium oxide is utilized as a ceramic sputtering target material for the deposition of thin films that require specific refractive indices or negative thermal expansion properties.

Used in the preparation of optical thin films where its unique thermal expansion characteristics help manage stress in multilayer coating stacks.

Due to its high melting point and negative thermal expansion, it is studied for use in thermal shock resistant refractory components.
