Yttrium hydride is a compound of
face-centred cubic phase is formed.[2]
In 1996, it was shown that the
photochromic properties.[5] This switchable optical property enables their utilization in many technological applications, such as sensors, goggles, and medical devices in addition to the smart windows. According to a research results, the strength of the photochromic response is found to decrease with increasing oxygen concentration in the film accompanied by an optical band gap widening. [6]
Yttrium hydride is being looked at as a high temperature superconductor.[7]
Yttrium hydride is being looked at as a neutron moderator[8] for use in new nuclear reactor designs.
