Lanthanum Hexaboride

Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6, also called lanthanum boride and LaB) is an inorganic chemical, a boride of lanthanum. As refractory ceramic material that has a melting point of 2210 °C, Lanthanum Boride is highly insoluble in water and hydrochloric acid, and converts to the oxide when heated (calcined). Stoichiometric samples are colored intense purple-violet, while boron-rich ones (above LaB6.07) are blue. Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) is known for its hardness, mechanical strength, thermionic emission, and strong plasmonic properties. Recently, a new moderate-temperature synthetic technique was developed to directly synthesize LaB6 nanoparticles.
Samarium(III) Oxide

Samarium(III) Oxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Sm2O3. It is a highly insoluble thermally stable Samarium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Samarium oxide readily forms on the surface of samarium metal under humid conditions or temperatures in excess of 150°C in dry air. The oxide is commonly white to off yellow in color and is often encountered as a highly fine dust like pale yellow powder, which is insoluble in water.
Thulium Oxide

Thulium(III) Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Thulium source, which is a pale green solid compound with the formula Tm2O3. It is suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications.
Terbium(III,IV) Oxide

Terbium(III,IV) Oxide, occasionally called tetraterbium heptaoxide, has the formula Tb4O7, is a highly insoluble thermally stable Terbium source.Tb4O7 is one of the main commercial terbium compounds, and the only such product containing at least some Tb(IV) (terbium in the +4 oxidation state), along with the more stable Tb(III). It is produced by heating the metal oxalate, and it is used in the preparation of other terbium compounds. Terbium forms three other major oxides: Tb2O3, TbO2, and Tb6O11.
Erbium Oxide

Erbium(III) Oxide, is synthesized from the lanthanide metal erbium. Erbium oxide is a light pink powder in appearance. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in mineral acids. Er2O3 is hygroscopic and will readily absorb moisture and CO2 from the atmosphere. It is a highly insoluble thermally stable Erbium source suitable for glass, optical, and ceramic applications. Erbium Oxide can be also used as a flammable neutron poison for nuclear fuel.
Lanthanum(La)Oxide

Lanthanum Oxide, also known as a highly insoluble thermally stable Lanthanum source, is an inorganic compound containing the rare earth element lanthanum and oxygen. It is suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications, and used in some ferroelectric materials, and is a feedstock for certain catalysts, among other uses.
Cerium(Ce) Oxide

Cerium Oxide, also known as cerium dioxide, Cerium(IV) Oxide or cerium dioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium. It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO2. It is an important commercial product and an intermediate in the purification of the element from the ores. The distinctive property of this material is its reversible conversion to a non-stoichiometric oxide.
Cerium(III) Carbonate

Cerium(III) Carbonate Ce2(CO3)3, is the salt formed by cerium(III) cations and carbonate anions. It is a water insoluble Cerium source that can easily be converted to other Cerium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcin0ation).Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids.
Cerium Hydroxide

Cerium(IV) Hydroxide, also known as ceric hydroxide, is a highly water insoluble crystalline Cerium source for uses compatible with higher (basic) pH environments. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ce(OH)4. It is a yellowish powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in concentrated acids.
Cerium(III) Oxalate Hydrate

Cerium(III) Oxalate (Cerous Oxalate) is the inorganic cerium salt of oxalic acid, which is highly insoluble in water and converts to the oxide when heated (calcined). It is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula of Ce2(C2O4)3. It could be obtained by the reaction of oxalic acid with cerium(III) chloride.
Dysprosium Oxide

As one of the rare earth oxide families, Dysprosium Oxide or dysprosia with chemical composition Dy2O3, is a sesquioxide compound of the rare earth metal dysprosium, and also a highly insoluble thermally stable Dysprosium source. It is a pastel yellowish-greenish, slightly hygroscopic powder, which has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers.
Europium(III) Oxide

Europium(III) Oxide (Eu2O3) is a chemical compound of europium and oxygen. Europium oxide has also other names as Europia, Europium trioxide. Europium oxide has a pinkish white color. Europium oxide has two different structures: cubic and monoclinic. The cubic structured europium oxide is almost same as magnesium oxide structure. Europium oxide has negligible solubility in water, but readily dissolves in mineral acids. Europium oxide is thermally stable material that has melting point at 2350 oC. Europium oxide’s multi-efficient properties like magnetic, optical and luminescence properties make this material very important. Europium oxide has an ability to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide in atmosphere.
