Rare Earth Salts Neodymium Fluoride NdF3 CAS 13709-42-7 For Detector Scintillator

Neodymium fluoride is a rare earth fluoride with unique physical and chemical properties. It is white with reddish powder, high stability, and has a certain hygroscopicity in the air. Neodymium fluoride is widely used in many fields. In the optical field, it is used to prepare scintillators of detectors to improve the sensitivity and response speed of detectors. At the same time, it is also used to manufacture rare earth crystal laser materials and rare earth fluoride glass optical fiber, which plays an important role in optical communication and medical equipment. In the metallurgical industry, neodymium fluoride is an additive to magnesium alloys used in aviation and plays a key role in the electrolytic production of metals. In addition, it is also an important raw material for the production of metal neodymium and NdFeb alloy, which is widely used in the field of magnetic materials and permanent magnets.
