MgF2
Magnesium Fluoride is a low refractive index material valued for its broad transparency from ultraviolet through infrared.1 It is widely employed as an anti-reflection and protective coating due to its optical stability and resistance to environmental degradation.1,2 In evaporation deposition, magnesium fluoride forms stable thin films with well characterized structural and infrared properties.2,3,4 Outside of optical uses, MgF2 is applied as a flux and processing additive in metallurgical and materials processing, where its thermal stability and chemical inertness are beneficial.5
Note: All MgF2 targets are of low density, fragile and have a thickness of 1/8". Targets may require bonding assembly before shipment.
