Samarium Sputtering TargetComposition: SmPurity: 99.5%Size: 3" DIa x 0.125" Thick and 6 more items

The University of Virginia awarded contract A207_PO-0466760 to Plasmaterials Inc. on August 7, 2026, with a cumulative contract value of $3,490.00. The contract calls for the supply and assembly of high-purity sputtering targets and associated components for delivery to Sherri Marcelle Sullivan at the University of Virginia. The sputtering targets include samarium (99.5% purity, 3" diameter x 0.125" thick), nickel (99.995% purity, 3" diameter x 1.5mm thick), iron (99.95% purity, 3" diameter x 1.5mm thick), and cobalt (99.95% purity, 3" diameter x 1.5mm thick).

In addition to the raw sputtering targets, the contract encompasses the procurement of four oxygen-free copper backing plates (3" diameter x 0.125" thick at $70 per unit), metallic bonding services to attach the sputtering targets to the copper backing plates (four units at $310 per unit), and four iron keeper components with vented flat head fasteners ($30 per unit). The complete deliverable package represents materials and services for the assembly of four finished sputtering target assemblies, consistent with materials science and vacuum deposition applications typically utilized in research environments.
