Yttrium, the chemical symbol is Y and atomic number 39. which is the first rare earth metallic element to be discovered, it is a gray black metal with malleability. Reaction with hot water, soluble in dilute acid. Can make special glass and alloys.
Yttrium is widely used in industry, which can be used as an yttrium phosphor to produce red color on TV screens, also used in some ray filters, superconductors, superalloys and special glasses, Yttrium resistant to high temperature and corrosion, a cladding material that can be used as nuclear fuel. Yttrium and a variety of ammonia carboxylic complexes can form a stable chelate, Neodymium - containing yttrium aluminum garnet is an excellent laser material, Yttrium iron garnet is an excellent laser material, Yttrium iron garnet and yttrium aluminum garnet are new magnetic materials.
We produce high purity Yttrium Sputtering Target, Zirconium Yttrium ZrY Sputtering Target for PVD thin film coating. Yttrium Sputtering Target is normally used for depositing Y2O3 thin film, which has high refractive index and appropriate thermal expansion coefficient, widely used as the inter-layer to improve the optical performance of infrared sapphire windows.
