Problems solved by technology

But the visible light transmittance of metal ytterbium decreases rapidly when its thickness exceeds 4nm (G.L.Ma, G.Z.Ran, A.G.Xu, Y.P.Qiao, W.Q.Zhao, B.R.Zhang, S.K.Wu, and G.G.Qin, Appl.Surf.Sci.252, 3580(2006)), and because of its activity, it is easily destroyed by water and oxygen in the air, which limits its application
