Ytterbium Oxide (Yb2O3) is a rare earth compound that has the fluorite structure with one-quarter of the anions removed. Due to its high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, low toxicity, and high corrosion resistance, it is considered for biomedical applications and antimicrobial control systems. It is also used in optical fibers, optical materials, semiconductors, catalysis, and non-linear optics.
