Description:
Gadolinium, symbolized as Gd, boasts an atomic number of 64 and an atomic weight of 157.25. This silvery-white, malleable metal has a melting point of 1313°C and a boiling point of 3273°C, with a density of 7.901g/cm³. Remarkably, gadolinium is magnetic at room temperature. While it remains stable in dry air, it loses its sheen in humid conditions. Known for having the highest thermal neutron capture cross-section, gadolinium finds significant presence in monazite and bastnäsite, with an earth crust abundance of 0.000636%. Through magnetized refrigeration, gadolinium salts can help achieve ultra-low temperatures nearing absolute zero.
Application:
Gadolinium is a versatile element utilized extensively across medical, industrial, and nuclear energy sectors. It serves as an essential neutron-absorbing material in nuclear reactors and finds applications in microwave technology. Additionally, it is a critical component in the phosphors used for color television screens.
Moreover, gadolinium oxide, when combined with lanthanum, enhances the vitrified area and improves the thermal stability of glass. This oxide is also instrumental in the production of capacitors and X-ray intensifying screens.
Gadolinium in gadolinium gallium garnet serves as an ideal single substrate for magnetic bubble memory devices, marking its prominence in advanced memory technologies.
