Tantalum: Refractory Performance, Oxide Dielectrics, and the Materials Science of Extreme Reliability

Tantalum (Ta, Z = 73) is defined above all by refusal: refusal to corrode in nearly any ambient chemical environment, refusal to yield mechanically until temperatures exceed half its melting point, and refusal to permit dielectric failure in the ultra-thin oxide films it spontaneously and reproducibly generates. These properties are the unified expression of a half-filled 5d³ electronic configuration, an exceptionally high nuclear charge screened by diffuse d-orbital electrons, and a native oxide whose thermodynamic stability is among the highest of all transition metal species. From implantable medical devices and high-reliability capacitors to plasma-facing fusion components and gate dielectric research, tantalum operates at the intersection of extreme environments and zero-tolerance reliability - a domain few materials can credibly occupy.

Guys I tried getting some of the cattos to be my coding buddies, but they're NOT being very helpful companions :((

Except Carbon who is the best boy ever :)

I saw on the wiki that Hafnium dresses up as milk for halloween and I knew what needed to be done

this art is so terrible but i love it

also I hope people know what this is a reference to

[heyimdelvi]

Tantalum in ROBLOX

i hope that pouch tail looks good

[kenzie11je]

Well damn, Ferri. what we gonna do now
