Ytterbium Fluoride (YbF3) Powder

Product Information 

Ytterbium Fluoride (YbF3), also known as Ytterbium trifluoride, is a crystalline ionic compound. It is a water-insoluble Ytterbium source for oxygen-sensitive applications, such as metal production and fluoride glass. Fluorides are also commonly used in alloy metals and for optical deposition. Ytterbium is applied to fiber amplifiers and fiber optic technologies and in lasing applications. Ytterbium Fluoride Powder is an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. It has a single dominant absorption band at 985 in the infrared useful in silicon photocells to convert radiant energy to electricity. Ytterbium Fluoride is usually immediately available in most volumes. Ultra-high purity, high purity, submicron, and nanopowder forms can be considered.

ATT stocks a wide variety of rare earth materials for use in electronics, petrochemical, metallurgy, machinery, energy, environmental protection, agriculture, and other fields.
