Gadolinium, denoted by the symbol Gd, is an exceptional element with an atomic number of 64 and an atomic weight of 157.25. This striking, silvery-white metal is exceptionally malleable, featuring a melting point of 1313°C and a remarkable boiling point of 3273°C. With a density of 7.901g/m³, Gadolinium exhibits magnetic properties at room temperature. It remains stable in dry air but tarnishes when exposed to humidity. Notably, Gadolinium boasts the highest thermal neutron capture cross-section, making it indispensable in numerous advanced applications. Despite its rarity—constituting only 0.000636% of the Earth's crust—it is primarily extracted from minerals such as monazite and bastnasite. Gadolinium salts are also pivotal in achieving ultra-low temperatures near absolute zero, thanks to magnetized refrigeration.
Application:Gadolinium finds extensive utility across medical, industrial, and nuclear energy sectors. It is a critical neutron-absorbing material in atomic reactors and is used in microwave technology and phosphors for color televisions. In the glass manufacturing industry, Gadolinium oxide, often combined with lanthanum, enhances thermal stability and modifies vitrified zones. This versatile compound is also vital in producing capacitors and X-ray intensifying screens. Moreover, the Gadolinium gallium garnet substrate is highly valued for magnetic bubble memories, underscoring its broad significance and application versatility.
