Ytterbium Oxide Powder (Yb2O3), CAS 1314-37-0
Ytterbium oxide powder (Yb2O3) is a white powder that is commonly used as a raw material for the production of other ytterbium compounds, such as ytterbium metal, ytterbium fluoride, and ytterbium nitrate.
Ytterbium oxide is insoluble in water, but soluble in acids. It has a high melting point of 2,420 °C and a high thermal conductivity, making it useful in high-temperature applications. It is also used as a dopant in the production of solid-state lasers, and as a catalyst in organic chemistry.
Ytterbium oxide powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles, should be worn when handling this material.

Application
Ytterbium Oxide, also called Ytterbia, is being applied to numerous fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies, High purity Ytterbium Oxide are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. As Ytterbium Oxide has a significantly higher emissivity in the infrared range than Magnesium Oxide, higher radiant intensity is obtained with Ytterbium-based payloads in comparison to those commonly based on Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV).
