Material & Engineering Overview

Prepared specifically for high-vacuum electron-beam and resistive thermal evaporation, our 4N5 (99.995%) Vacuum-Grown Optical Crystal Grade optical fluorides (LiF, CaF2, BaF2, YF3, LaF3) (LiF / CaF2 / BaF2 / YF3 / LaF3, CAS 7789-75-5) deposition materials undergo vacuum degassing or high-temperature sintering to eliminate trapped volatiles and micro-voids that cause melt spitting and pinhole film defects.

Evaporate from molybdenum, tantalum, or platinum resistive boats (or Mo/graphite e-beam liners); LiF (0.5–1.5 nm) is universally evaporated from Mo/Ta boats over Al cathodes in OLEDs. Supplied in cleanroom argon-flushed containers by weight (50 g to 1,000 g lots) or piece count, accompanied by the manufacturer's batch trace-impurity Certificate of Analysis.

Standard Shipment Documentation: Manufacturer Lot COA (ICP-OES / GDMS trace metal ppm breakdown for LiF / CaF2 / BaF2 / YF3 / LaF3) and net-weight sealed lot label.

Primary Research & Industrial Applications

  • 0.5–1.5 nm LiF electron-injection interlayers beneath Al cathodes in OLEDs and organic solar cells
  • Deep-UV (157/193/248 nm excimer) low-index optical coatings (LaF3 / MgF2 / CaF2)
  • Thorium-free mid-IR and LWIR low-index coatings (YF3, BaF2, CaF2 paired with Ge or ZnS)
  • Scintillator and halide perovskite interfacial engineering

Technical & Procurement FAQ

Which crucible liner or boat is recommended for evaporating optical fluorides (LiF, CaF2, BaF2, YF3, LaF3) (LiF / CaF2 / BaF2 / YF3 / LaF3)?
Evaporate from molybdenum, tantalum, or platinum resistive boats (or Mo/graphite e-beam liners); LiF (0.5–1.5 nm) is universally evaporated from Mo/Ta boats over Al cathodes in OLEDs.
How should LiF / CaF2 / BaF2 / YF3 / LaF3 evaporation granules/pellets be pre-conditioned in the chamber?
Sweep a low-power defocused e-beam or low resistive boat current across the charge behind a closed shutter until chamber base pressure recovers before ramping to deposition rate.
What lot sizes are available for TB-EV-FL?
Standard research packs are quoted in 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g, and 1 kg sealed containers with full batch COA.
