Sodium chloride substrate is also known as NaCl substrate. Sodium Chloride Substrate is a wide-band good conductor engaged for research work. It also used in the production of infrared spectroscopy analyzer; ultraviolet and infrared optical components; the single crystal is the material of visual elements used as the transparent material of prisms, lenses, filters and various laser windows, infrared devices, optical, laser crystal instruments.
NaCl single crystal substrates are most suitable for growing epitaxial film and studying interface diffusion and defects. The film can be easily removed from NaCl substrate either by floating it off on water or by dissolving the underlying substrate. Sodium chloride crystal substrates can grow epitaxial films on a featureless substrate. If using appropriate techniques, ultra-smooth polishing substrate can be created and high-quality epitaxial film in a larger area can be achieved. As NaCl is very sensitive to moisture, it is advised to store it in desiccator box.
