Scandium Fluoride (ScF3), Scandium Trifluoride, is an ionic compound with unique properties. While it is slightly soluble in water, it dissolves in excess fluoride to form the ScF63− anion. Scandium fluoride can be produced by reacting scandium and fluorine or extracted from ores such as thortveitite.
One noteworthy property of ScF3 is negative thermal expansion, meaning it contracts when heated due to the quartic oscillation of fluoride ions. This material maintains cubic symmetry over a wide temperature range but adopts different crystal structures under pressure, including rhombohedral and tetrahedral forms.
Scandium Fluoride’s application in various fields highlights its importance in materials science and research.
Scandium fluoride is a versatile material used in various applications, including optical coatings, scintillation detectors, solid-state lasers, and ceramic capacitors.
