I am working in the field of sputtering. For making a sputter target, we need to take some amount of the respective powder and pelletize that. What is the relation between the atomic weight of the respective chemical powder and the weight of the powder we need to take for the pelletizing process. For example, Zinc oxide has an atomic weight of 81.38 g/mol and Tungsten powder has an atomic weight of 183.84 u which is somewhat heavy. Therefore , How much powder can I take for making a compact of Tungsten.
