American Elements specializes in producing high purity uniform shaped
Terbium Spheres with the highest possible density

and smallest possible average grain sizes for use in semiconductor, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD),
Metallic-Organic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Our standard slug sizes range from 1/8" x 1/8" to 1/4" x 1/4" and 3 mm diameter. We can also provide spheres outside this range for
ultra high purity thin film applications, such as
fuel cells and
solar energy layers. Materials are produced using crystallization, solid state and other
ultra high purification processes such as sublimation. American Elements specializes in producing
custom compositions for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies. American Elements also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into rod, bar, or plate form, as well as other machined shapes and through other processes such as
nanoparticles and in the form of
solutions and
organometallics. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade,
USP and
EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable
ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. We also produce
Terbium as
rod,
ingot,
powder,
pieces,
disc,
granules,
wire, and in compound forms, such as
oxide. Other shapes are available by request.
