Goodfellow now offers ytterbium pellets as part of our expanding range of pellets. Ytterbium is a silvery rare earth metal that is soft, malleable and ductile. It has a high thermal conductivity and a low electronegativity. Potential applications of ytterbium include use in infrared lasers and fiber optic technologies. The addition of ytterbium pellets contributes to Goodfellow's diverse inventory of specialty metals, alloys, ceramics and compounds for research and industrial applications.
