Erbium(III) fluoride

Erbium(III) fluoride is the fluoride of erbium, a rare earth metal, with the chemical formula ErF3. It can be used to make infrared light-transmitting materials苏伟涛, 李斌, 刘定权,等. 氟化铒薄膜晶体结构与红外光学性能的关系[J]. 物理学报, 2007, 56(5):2541-2546. and up-converting luminescent materials.

Production Erbium(III) fluoride can be produced by reacting erbium(III) nitrate and ammonium fluoride: Er(NO3)3 + 3 NH4F → 3 NH4NO3 + ErF3 References
