Ytterbium Nitrate Description
Ytterbium Nitrate is applied to glass, ceramic, and numerous fiber amplifiers and fiber optic technologies, high purity grades are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. Ytterbium Nitrate is a high water-soluble crystalline Ytterbium source for uses compatible with nitrates and lower (acidic) pH.
