Gadolinium, symbolized as Gd, features an atomic number 64 and an atomic weight of 157.25. This gleaming, silvery-white element is exceptionally malleable, with a melting point of 1313°C and a boiling point of 3273°C. Possessing a density of 7.901g/m³, Gadolinium is magnetic at room temperature and maintains stability in dry air, though it tarnishes in humid conditions. Remarkably, it boasts the highest thermal neutron capture cross-section, making it indispensable in various high-tech applications. Despite its scant abundance in the Earth's crust at 0.000636%, it is predominantly found in minerals such as monazite and bastnasite. Impressively, gadolinium salts enable ultra-low temperatures near absolute zero through magnetized refrigeration.
Application:Gadolinium is extensively utilized in the medical, industrial, and nuclear energy sectors, serving as a neutron-absorbing material in atomic reactors. Its applications span microwave technology and phosphors for color televisions. In glass manufacturing, gadolinium oxide, when combined with lanthanum, enhances thermal stability and modifies vitrified areas. Additionally, gadolinium oxide is critical in producing capacitors and X-ray intensifying screens. The gadolinium gallium garnet substrate is also highly prized for magnetic bubble memories, highlighting its versatility and significance.
