Laser applications:Ho₂O₃ is used as a laser gain medium in the manufacture of Ho:YAG solid-state lasers, which output lasers with a wavelength of 2.1 μm, and are widely used in medical lithotripsy and surgery.
Nuclear energy control: Ho₂O₃ is used as a control rod material for nuclear reactors due to its high neutron absorption cross-section, effectively regulating the rate of nuclear fission reaction.
Fluorescent materials: Ho₂O₃ doped in glass or crystals produces special yellow-green fluorescence, which is used in upconversion luminescent materials, anti-counterfeit markers and LED devices.
Magnetic materials: Ho³⁺ ions in holmium oxide have strong magnetic moments, which can be used in low-temperature magnetic refrigeration materials and magnetic research.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH strictly implements a full-process quality control system, adheres to the principle of reworking for defective products, and releases each batch of products only after it has passed detailed specification tests. We are committed to building a responsible supply chain by complying with REACH and ASTM standards, ensuring lot consistency, and establishing a complete documented traceability system.
Holmium Oxide granules are packed in double vacuum bottles and then packed in special cartons to ensure safe transportation.
Ho₂O₃ granules should be vacuum packed and stored in a dry and dust-free environment to avoid moisture and pollution.
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.
