Prøve af hafnium-metal. Hafnium er temmelig korrosionsbestandigt, og ligner i kemisk hendseende zirconium ganske meget, mens disse to stoffers fysiske egenskaber er vidt forskellige; eksempelvis har hafnium næsten dobbelt så stor massefylde som zirconium. Og med hensyn til evnen til at indfange neutroner, er omkring 600 gange bedre til dette …
Hafnium has good neutron-absorbing properties, and hence it is used in control rods in nuclear reactors. While hafnium nitride is the most refractory of all the metal nitrides, hafnium carbide is the most refractory of all the binary materials. Hafnium is also used in the following applications: As a getter for nitrogen and oxygen
Hafnium oxides and hafnium silicate films were investigated as a possible replacement for the SiO 2 gate dielectric. Hafnium oxide films were formed by reactive sputtering from a single Hf oxide target in a predominantly Ar atmosphere containing small additions of oxygen.
