Erbia - Model OX1104 -Erbium Oxide Powder
Erbium Oxide, also known as Erbia, is a light pink powder in appearance with a cubic crystal structure. Er2O3 is insoluble in water but soluble in mineral acids. Erbium Oxide readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Stanford Materials Corporation (SMC) is a trusted supplier of high-purity erbium metals and a wide variety of erbium compounds including Erbium Fluoride (ErF3), Erbium Chloride (ErCl3), and Erbium Iodide (ErI3).

Description:
Erbium Oxide is an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. High-purity Erbium Oxide is widely applied as a dopant in making optical fiber and amplifiers. It is particularly useful as an amplifier for fiber optic data transfer. Erbium Oxide has a pink color and is sometimes used as a colorant for glass, cubic zirconia, and porcelain. The glass is then often used in sunglasses and cheap jewelry.
- Used as a colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. High-purity Erbium Oxide is widely applied as a dopant in making optical fiber and amplifiers.
- Used as gate dielectrics in semi-conductor devices due to its high dielectric constant and large band gap.
- Erbium Oxide nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes are used in biomedical applications due to their photoluminescent properties.
