The Facts of Gadolinium
Gadolinium atomic number 64 is a chemical element
Gadolinium is one the 14 rare earth metals ( precious metals )
•The name Gadolinium is derived from the mineral (gadolinite).
•Gadolinium a silvery-grey metallic rare-earth metal.
• One of the lanthanides
• Gadolinium is malleable
•At room temperature, gadolinium crystallizes in the hexagonal, close-packed alpha form.
• The metal is relatively stable in dry air, but tarnishes in moist air. The metal is soluble in dilute acid and reacts slowly with water.
• Gadolinium compounds are used as phosphors in color televisions and gadolinium yttrium garnets have application in microwaves .
•The metal has unusual superconductive properties.
•The resistance and workability of iron and chromium can be improved with as little as 1 percent gadolinium.
•Due to its low noise characteristics, gadolinium ethyl sulfate has been explored for duplicating the performance of amplifiers.
•The rare earth metal has special Curie temperature above which ferromagnetism vanishes, giving rise to the potential that it could be used as a magnetic component that can sense hot and cold.
•Isolation of the rare earth elements from each other has been difficult and expensive because their chemical properties are so similar.
