Description

Terbium is a silvery-white rare-earth element, not found naturally in its elemental form. It's obtained as a byproduct of extracting other rare-earth elements. Its most important use is in fluorescent lighting, where terbium-doped phosphors emit a greenish-blue light when excited by UV radiation. Terbium is also used in lasers, magnetic alloys, and high-temperature superconductors. Its unique luminescent properties make it useful in various applications, including medical imaging, security inks, and high-definition displays. The study of terbium is driven by its potential in these emerging technologies and its contribution to advancing scientific knowledge in the field of rare-earth chemistry.'

Terbium: An element of the rare earth family of metals. It has the atomic symbol Tb, atomic number 65, and atomic weight 158.92. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
