Gadolinium, symbolized as Gd, with an atomic number of 64 and an atomic weight of 157.25, is a radiant, silvery-white element known for its exceptional malleability. It possesses a melting point of 1313°C and a boiling point of 3273°C, coupled with a density of 7.901g/m³. Gadolinium is magnetic at room temperature, stable in dry air, yet tarnishes under humid conditions. Its remarkable feature is the highest thermal neutron capture cross-section, rendering it indispensable in cutting-edge applications. Despite its scant presence in the Earth's crust (0.000636%), it is predominantly sourced from minerals like monazite and bastnasite. Gadolinium salts are instrumental in achieving ultra-low temperatures nearing absolute zero via magnetized refrigeration.
Application:Gadolinium's applications are vast, spanning medical, industrial, and nuclear energy domains. It serves as a neutron-absorbing material in atomic reactors and finds utility in microwave technology and phosphors for color televisions. In the glass industry, gadolinium oxide, when combined with lanthanum, enhances thermal stability and modifies vitrified areas. This oxide is also crucial in manufacturing capacitors and X-ray intensifying screens. The gadolinium gallium garnet substrate is highly valued in magnetic bubble memories, highlighting its versatile and significant roles.
