Samarium boride (SmB₆) is an intermetallic compound consisting of samarium (Sm) and boron (B). Samarium is a rare earth element with unique physical and chemical properties, while boron is a non-metallic element. The combination of the two forms samarium boride, which shows special value in many fields.
Appearance and colour: It is usually black or black-grey powdery substance.
Crystal structure: It has a cubic crystal structure, which gives it a high degree of symmetry.
Density: The density is relatively high, about 5.07 g/cm³.
Hardness: high hardness and good wear resistance.
Electronic devices: Due to its special electrical properties, such as Kondo insulating behaviour, it can be used in the manufacture of high-frequency electronic devices, superconducting electronic devices and other new types of electronic devices, and it is a potential material for the study of quantum computation and quantum information storage and other fields.
Materials Science Research: As a typical Kondo insulator material, it plays a key role as an experimental material in the study of cutting-edge materials science theories such as strongly correlated electronic systems and quantum phase transitions, helping scientists to gain a deeper understanding of complex physical phenomena.
Wear-resistant material field: With its large hardness and good wear-resistant properties, it can be used to prepare wear-resistant coatings or wear-resistant parts, which are applied in machinery, aerospace and other fields.
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.
