Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for DyScO₃?
A: DyScO₃ does not have a unique CAS number as it is a stoichiometric mixed-metal oxide crystal; commercial single-crystal substrates are assigned product-specific identifiers rather than CAS registration due to absence of bulk chemical handling per REACH Annex V exemptions.
Q2: Is DyScO₃ subject to leaching or ion migration under humid or aqueous conditions during device processing?
A: No significant leaching occurs under ambient humidity or brief aqueous rinse (e.g., DI water ultrasonication); DyScO₃ exhibits negligible solubility (< 10⁻⁹ g/L in neutral water at 25 °C) and remains stable through standard clean protocols (RCA-1, piranha optional with caution).
Q3: How does DyScO₃ compare to STO (SrTiO₃) or LSAT (La₀.₃Sr₀.₇Al₀.₆₅Ta₀.₃₅O₃) as a substrate for YBCO films?
A: DyScO₃ offers superior lattice matching to YBCO (mismatch ~0.2% vs. ~1.2% for STO) and higher dielectric breakdown strength than LSAT; unlike LSAT, it contains no volatile La/Sr and avoids interfacial Sr segregation issues during high-temperature annealing.
Q4: Are there any export control restrictions (e.g., EAR99, ECCN) applicable to DyScO₃ substrates?
A: DyScO₃ single crystal substrates are classified as EAR99 under U.S. Export Administration Regulations; no license is required for most destinations, though end-use restrictions apply for military or nuclear applications per §744.3.
