ceramic

· JVASP-134727· RbGaF3

RbGaF3 is a fluoride ceramic compound composed of rubidium, gallium, and fluorine, belonging to the family of metal fluoride ceramics with a perovskite-related crystal structure. This material is primarily of research interest for optical and photonic applications, particularly in the ultraviolet and infrared spectral regions, where its wide bandgap and fluoride composition offer transparency advantages over oxide ceramics. While not yet widely deployed in high-volume industrial production, RbGaF3 and related gallium fluorides are investigated for potential use in advanced optical windows, laser hosts, and radiation-resistant applications where chemical stability and optical clarity are critical.
