VD0546 Erbium (Er) Evaporation Materials

Description:

Erbium is one of the rare earth elements from the lanthanide series. Pure erbium metal is malleable, soft and relatively stable in air. Erbium ions emit pink fluorescence and are used in imaging and optical applications. Erbium oxidises more slowly than some other rare earth metals and exhibits a high electrical resistivity. It is typically found in small quantities and in combination with other rare earth elements. As a pure metal, erbium has limited applications; however, it may be used as an alloying element with titanium.

High-purity evaporation materials play an important role in deposition processes to ensure that the deposited layers meet strict quality criteria. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) specialises in the production of erbium evaporation materials with a purity of up to 99.9% and employs stringent quality assurance processes to ensure product reliability.

Specification:

Applications:

1. Optical Communications: It is used as a dopant in fibre amplifiers and fibre lasers to enhance the amplification and transmission of optical signals.

2. Lasers: It is utilised as a dopant in solid-state lasers for the production of infrared lasers and fibre lasers.

3. Optical Coatings: It is employed in the fabrication of thin films for optical components, for example in coated mirrors, optical filters and optical lenses.

4. Nuclear Energy: In nuclear reactors, erbium evaporation materials are used to control the fission process and to improve the efficiency and stability of the reactors.

5. Materials Research: They serve as test materials and reference standards for investigating the properties and applications of rare earth materials, thereby supporting the advancement of materials science.

Packaging:

Our evaporation materials are handled in a manner that prevents damage during storage and transport, ensuring that the product remains in its original state.
