Description

Dysprosium is a silvery-white rare earth element with the symbol Dy and atomic number 66. It is found in small quantities in various minerals and is extracted from monazite and bastnasite ores. Dysprosium is a relatively soft, malleable, and ductile metal with a high melting point. It is known for its strong paramagnetic properties and is used in various technological applications. Dysprosium is commonly used in the manufacture of powerful permanent magnets, particularly in neodymium magnets. It is also employed in high-intensity lighting, nuclear reactors, and lasers. In addition, dysprosium is used as a neutron absorber in nuclear control rods. The study of dysprosium is important due to its unique magnetic and optical properties, making it valuable in a range of technologies. Researchers are continuously exploring new applications for this element, such as in magnetic refrigeration, high-performance alloys, and other advanced materials.'

Dysprosium: An element of the rare earth family that has the atomic symbol Dy, atomic number 66, and atomic weight 162.50. Dysprosium is a silvery metal used primarily in the form of various salts. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
