Aluminum Oxide Iron Chromium Doped Crystal Description
Aluminum Oxide Iron Chromium Doped Crystal, often known as a synthetic gem or laser material, is a crystal where both iron (Fe) and chromium (Cr) ions are introduced into the aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) lattice. The combined doping alters the crystal's optical and physical properties, making it useful in various applications.
