Product Code : RE-Ho-5N-SF
ATT specializes in producing Holmium as rolled foils in various thicknesses and sizes.
Holmium Metal is available as as disc, granules, ingot, pellets, pieces, powder, rod, sputtering target, wire, and in numerous other forms and custom shapes. Typical and custom packaging is available. Ultra high purity and high purity forms also include metal powder, submicron powder and nanoscale, quantum dots, targets for thin film deposition, pellets for evaporation and single crystal or polycrystalline forms. Elements can also be introduced into alloys or other systems as fluorides, oxides or chlorides or as solutions. Holmium metal is generally immediately available in most volumes. Holmium has the highest magnetic moment (10.6 µB) of any naturally occurring element and has been used to create the highest known magnetic fields as a pole piece or magnetic flux concentrator.

Applications of Holmium Metal
1. Used in yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) and yttrium-la-fluoride (YLF) solid-state lasers.
2. Holmium lasers are used in medical, dental, and fiber-optical applications.
3. Used as a yellow and red pigment for cubic zirconia and glass.
4. Used to create artificially generated magnetic fields.
5. Used poison to regulate nuclear reactors.
6. Used as a calibration standard for optical spectrophotometers.
Packing of Holmium (Ho) Foil
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.
