Chemical Properties | Powder. Insoluble in
water and most solvents. |
Characteristics | Strontium titanate (SrTiO3), an oxide of strontium and titanium, is chosen as the model system for perovskite ceramics because it is stable in the cubic crystal system above-168℃. |
Uses | Strontium titanium oxide is used in tunable microwave capacitors, flat panel displays, field emission displays, microwave solitons, PTC thermistors and varistors, magnetic field insensitive thermometers, ultralow-temperature scanning microscopes, semiconductive ceramics, pyroelectric far-infrared detectors and in alloy and catalyst applications. Due to its high melting point and insolubility, strontium titanate has been used as a strontium-90-containing material in radioisotope thermoelectric generators. |
Uses | In electronics and electrochemical insulation; in photocatalysis; sputtering target for thin film capacitors; substrate for epitaxial growth of high temperature superconductor thin films. Diamond simulant gemstone. |
Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable |
