Chemical Properties
Holmium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is yellow to orange crystalline powder or crystals
Uses
Holmium Nitrate has specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors and metal halide lamp, and catalyst. It is also used in Yttrium-Iron-Garnet (YIG) and Yttrium-Lanthanum-Fluoride (YLF) solid-state lasers found in microwave equipment (which are in turn found in a variety of medical and dental settings).
