Ytterbium Disk - T 0.8mm Ø 20.7mm

Details

SKU: 1000070734 Product Code: YB00-FL-000160
Ytterbium Disk, produced by machining ytterbium metal into circular form, provides a soft, ductile, and relatively reactive lanthanide for experimental and industrial use. Ytterbium exhibits moderate electrical conductivity, low hardness, and unique optical and magnetic properties, making disks suitable for surface science and thin film studies. Industries including optics, electronics, and metallurgy employ ytterbium disks in infrared filters, metallurgical alloying, and laser material research. Specific applications include preparation of ytterbium thin films for optical coatings, serving as targets in spectroscopy, and substrates for studying lanthanide reactivity. In research, ytterbium disks are studied for electronic band structure, catalytic interactions, and luminescence. Their form and purity allow precise control in surface-sensitive experiments, ensuring ytterbium disks remain important in optics, materials science, and rare-earth element research.
