RARE EARTH ELEMENTS
DESCRIPTION
Terbium is a chemical element with an atomic number of 65 and is represented by the symbol ‘Tb’ in the periodic table. It is hard and silvery in appearance and classified as rare earth metal and belongs to the f-block of the lanthanide group of the periodic table.
CHARACTERISTICS
Terbium is a solid, silvery metal when it is purified. Like most lanthanide metals, however, it does not exist on Earth in its pure form. It has only one stable isotope and it is found as a minor component of minerals that contain other lanthanide metals. There is no known biological role for terbium and its compounds can be moderately toxic. It is used in a variety of technological devices used in the energy and lighting industries.
Terbium has the silver-gray luster typical of many metals. It is quite soft, however, and can be cut with a knife. It is also malleable and ductile, meaning it can be hammered into thin sheets and drawn into wires rather easily. Terbium is used to combat counterfeits. The Euro currency is printed with fluorescent rare earth elements. When exposed to UV light, their authenticity can be verified. Terbium is used for green fluorescence, europium for red fluorescence, and thulium for blue fluorescence.
APPLICATION & USE
Terbium is rare in the Earth’s crust with an abundance that is intermediate to other elements. Among all of the elements in the universe, terbium is the 10th least abundant. It is found as a minor fraction of minerals that contain lanthanides, such as monazite, xenotime, and euxenite.
Terbium is used to • Electronics • Optoelectronics • Led’s • Alloys • As Luminescent • Against Counterfeit • in Magnets • Fuel Cells • Magneto-optic devices.
