USES :

Ytterbium Carbonate is a water insoluble Ytterbium source that can easily be converted to other Ytterbium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids. Ytterbium is applied to fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies and in lasing applications. It has a single dominant absorption band at 985 in the infra-red useful in silicon photocells to convert radiant energy to electricity. Ytterbium Carbonate is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra high purity, high purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered.Titanproduces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia)and follows applicable ASTMtesting standards.Typical and custom packagingis available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.
