About (5N) 99.999% Yttrium Oxide

High Purity 5N 99.999% Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) PowderHigh purity (5N, 99.999%) yttrium oxide or yttria powder is a versatile material that can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of such compound oxide ceramics such as yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) which is critical to high temperature applications such as solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes and advanced defense technology for armor and optical imaging. 5N yttria powder also is used as a precursor material for the growth of optical crystals like YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet), YAP (yttrium aluminum perovskite), YIG (yttrium iron garnet), all of which are available undoped or doped with elements like Er, Ce, Cr, Tm, or other rare earths. Advanced high-temperature ceramic materials like YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide) can be synthesized using high purity yttria powder. Other uses include dielectric and inert packing materials in sensor assemblies, semiconductor packaging, or electronics components. Ultra high purity yttrium oxide powder is suitable for use as a reference standard for impurity analysis and calibration of analytical instruments.

Related Elements

See more Yttrium products. Yttrium (atomic symbol: Y, atomic number: 39) is a Block D, Group 3, Period 5 element with an atomic weight of 88.90585. Yttrium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of yttrium's shells is [2, 8, 18, 9, 2] and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d1 5s2. The yttrium atom has a radius of 180 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 219 pm. Yttrium was discovered by Johann Gadolin in 1794 and first isolated by Carl Gustav Mosander in 1840. In its elemental form, Yttrium has a silvery white metallic appearance. Yttrium has the highest thermodynamic affinity for oxygen of any element. Elemental YttriumYttrium is not found in nature as a free element and is almost always found combined with the lanthanides in rare earth minerals. While not part of the rare earth series, it resembles the heavy rare earths which are sometimes referred to as the "yttrics" for this reason. Another unique characteristic derives from its ability to form crystals with useful properties. The name yttrium originated from a Swedish village near Vaxholm called Yttbery where it was discovered.
