Erbium fluoride is an optical material that emits light when stimulated with electromagnetic radiation. It has a chemical stability comparable to germanium and silicon, but is more resistant to high temperatures. Erbium fluoride can be used in the production of optical components, such as laser cavities, and semiconductors, such as transistors. Erbium fluoride has a large average particle diameter and a morphology that resembles a honeycomb pattern. This material is activated by heat or light, which causes electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band. The rate at which this process occurs can be controlled by applying an electric field across the crystal lattice.
