Holmium acetate

Catalog Number	ACM312619491-3
CAS	312619-49-1
Structure
Description	Holmium Acetate has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors and metal halide lamp, and dopant to garnet laser. Holmium can absorb fission-bred neutrons, it is used in nuclear reactors to keep atomic chain reaction from running out of control. It is also one of the colorants used for cubic zirconia and glass, providing yellow or red coloring. It is also used in Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (YAG) and Yttrium-Lanthanum-Fluoride (YLF) solid-state lasers found in microwave equipment (which are in turn found in a variety of medical and dental settings).
