Lutetium Oxide Evaporation Material - Lu2O3

Lutetium(III) oxide, a white solid, is a cubic compound of lutetium sometimes used in the preparation of specialty glasses. It is also called lutecia. It is a lanthanide oxide, also known as a rare earth.

The product of Lu2O3 and palladium(II) oxide (PdO) (formed at high pressure and temperature in the presence of potassium chlorate) has a potential use in superconducting materials.Lutetium(III) oxide is an important raw material for laser crystals. It also has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, and lasers. Lutetium(III) oxide is used as a catalyst in cracking, alkylation, hydrogenation, and polymerization.The band gap of lutetium oxide is 5.5 eV.
