Description

We are excited to introduce the world’s first complete set of Rare Earth Doped Glass Samples, exclusively available here. This unique collection comprises 16 distinct ingots, each crafted from phosphate glass doped with 17 mol% rare earth oxides and potassium oxide, offering a vibrant display of colors and properties.

Among the highlights of this set are the magnetic properties exhibited by the ingots doped with elements like Erbium (Er), Terbium (Tb), Gadolinium (Gd), and Dysprosium (Dy). These rare earth elements are known for their significant magnetic moments, making the glass not only visually striking but also fascinating for studies in magnetism.

Under UV excitation, some of the ingots like Europium and Terbium glass show extremely high fluorescence. Others, like Samarium, Thulium and Dysprosium show weaker fluorescence due to optical quenching effects.

Each ingot in this collection is more than just a beautiful artifact—it’s a showcase of the interaction between light, color, and magnetism, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the unique characteristics of rare earth elements. Whether for research, education, or collection, this set is a rare opportunity to own a piece of advanced material science that is both colorful and functionally intriguing.

Secure this exceptional collection now, as it is truly the only one of its kind in the world.

We are able to cast large rods with several cm diameter and lengths up to 50mm

Beautiful optical glass beads doped with metal ions.

Elaborately and individually manufactured by us in the laboratory from highly pure reagents.
Gorgeous beads showing the typical colors of different metal ions in different oxidation states.

They can be used for save demonstration of different colors of the metal compounds or just for collecting.
