Ytterbium metal foils for thin film preparation are rare earth metal materials designed for high-precision thin film preparation, development of rare earth functional materials, and scientific research applications. With purity up to 99.9%, excellent thermal stability, and low impurity properties, they are important basic materials for optoelectronics, laser, metallurgy, and scientific research.
We offer custom Ytterbium metal foils for research in a wide range of sizes and support customized sizes, purities, and surface treatments. All products come with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to ensure quality traceability. We also provide comprehensive after-sales support, if you have any questions about the use of ytterbium, please
Purity range: 99.9, electronic grade/research grade available
Surface treatment: smooth surface, oil-free, vacuum-protected packaging to avoid oxidization and moisture absorption
Good ductility: foils have excellent plasticity, facilitating Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes such as vacuum thermal evaporation
Packaging specialization: vacuum-sealed or argon gas-protected packaging, to ensure stability during transportation
Thin film deposition and PVD coating: high purity Yb source materials for laser materials, rare earth doped film layers, etc.
Rare earth alloy additives: as trace regulatory elements in high performance alloy systems
Scientific research and new material development: for the preparation of Yb doped crystals, functional ceramics, and quantum dots
Infrared and laser fields: Yb foils are used as a source of materials for laser targets or optical components with good absorption and emission properties. Characterization
We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and other relevant reports for every shipment of Ytterbium metal foils with COA and MSDS certification. In addition, we support third-party testing for added quality assurance.
