· Er2 I6

Er₂I₆ is an erbium iodide compound belonging to the rare-earth halide semiconductor family. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photonic applications, where rare-earth halides are explored for their potential in infrared emission, luminescence, and quantum optical devices. While not yet widely deployed in high-volume industrial production, erbium halides are investigated as candidates for next-generation optical fibers, quantum dots, and mid-infrared emitters where the 1.5 μm erbium emission line has established telecommunications relevance.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
