Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) particles are white crystalline, hard and relatively stable rare earth fluoride granules at room temperature and pressure, with important applications in optics, magnetism, medical imaging and other fields.
Properties
Density: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is about 7.1 g/cm³, the relative density is large, in the application of materials need to consider its weight on the overall quality of the product.
Appearance: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is usually white granules.
Molecular weight: 214.25 g/mol.
Melting point: 1231 °C, belongs to the higher melting point compounds, has a certain stability in the high temperature environment, but in the processing and application need higher temperature conditions.
Solubility: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is insoluble in water, a characteristic that gives it an advantage in some water-sensitive application scenarios, but also limits its use in certain areas where it needs to be dissolved for use.
Thermal Stability: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is thermally stable and does not readily decompose at higher temperatures, but may be chemically altered at extreme high temperatures or under specific chemical reaction conditions.
Optical properties: Gadolinium Fluoride(DFM) has unique properties in optics, it can be used to make optical glass, optical coatings, etc. It has good optical transmittance and refractive index and other properties.
Magnetic properties: Since the element gadolinium itself has certain magnetic properties, gadolinium fluoride particles may also exhibit certain magnetic properties, and can be applied in fields related to magnetism.
Applications
Optical glass: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is used in the manufacture of high-quality optical glass, which can increase the refractive index of the glass and improve the optical properties, and is used in optical instruments, lenses, mirrors and other products.
Optical Coating: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) is used as an optical coating material, especially in the deep ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum UV regions, to provide anti-reflective coatings that reduce unwanted reflections and enhance the performance of optical systems, such as in the optical components of lasers, photolithography and other equipment.
Radiation detection field: its crystals can be used in scintillation detectors, which emit visible light when exposed to ionising radiation, and can be used for radiation measurements in nuclear physics, medical imaging, and safety detection.
Magnetism field: applied in magneto-optical materials, such materials under the action of magnetic field will change the optical properties, can be used for magneto-optical data storage, sensors and other optical devices.
Fuel cell field: Gadolinium Fluoride (DFM) can be used as an electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), participating in the ionic conduction process in the fuel cell and improving the performance of the fuel cell.
Microwave field: used as dopant in microwave materials such as gadolinium yttrium garnet (Gd:Y₃Al₅O₁₂), which have important applications in microwave technology, such as microwave filters and microwave oscillators.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
