Gadolinium Fluoride Introduction
Gadolinium Fluoride (GdF3), also known as Gadolinium Trifluoride, Trifluorogadolinium, and Gadolinium (III) Fluoride, is one of the essential Gadolinium compounds. It is insoluble in water.
Gadolinium Fluoride is used for making optical glass and dopant for Gadolinium Yttrium Garnets, which have microwave applications. Gadolinium is used for making Gadolinium Yttrium Garnet. It has microwave applications and is used to fabricate various optical components and as a substrate material for magneto-optical films. It is also used to make Gadolinium Yttrium Garnet (Gd:Y3Al5O12). Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12) is used for imitation diamonds and computer bubble memory. It can also serve as an electrolyte in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs).
Gadolinium Fluoride Applications
Gadolinium fluoride can be used to prepare metal gadolinium, antireflection coating, laser crystal material, thermal spraying, etc.
