Element category: Lanthanide

Neodymium is a soft, lustrous, silvery metal belonging to the periodic table's lanthanide group, and it is reactive in air.

The most important use for neodymium is in an alloy with iron and boron to make the strongest permanent magnets known.

Nowadays, neodymium magnets (Nd2Fe14B, NIB) are used in a wide range of industries. It is also beneficial in cryocoolers and neodymium glass.

Neodymium (III) oxide, or neodymium sesquioxide, is an important compound of the neodymium element. It is often used to dope glass for different colors and functions.

Neodymium is one of the greater reactive Lanthanide uncommon-earth metals, and it quickly oxidizes in air.
The element has to be stored below an oil or sealed tightly in a plastic cloth. The steel has a bright and silvery luster.
 

Neodymium may be found in allotropic forms, transforming from a double hexagonal to a frame-focused cubic.
Clearly-happening neodymium has seven strong isotopes. Fourteen other radioactive isotopes are acknowledged.

Neodymium hues glass several sunglasses, ranging from natural violet thru deep purple and warm gray tones.
This glass is utilized in astronomical work to provide sharp absorption bands to calibrate spectral strains.
 

The detail is likewise an issue of didymium, used in welders and glass blowers protection goggles.
A few neodymium salts are also used to color enamels. It additionally makes up almost 20 percent of mischmetal, a material that is used to make flints for lighters.
