Specifications of Yttrium Rare Earth Element


*Yttrium was found by Carl Arrhenius in 1787 in Sweden. Later on Johan Gadolin made lots of researches about this element. Its chemical symbol is Y.
*Yttrium  silvery-white metal is considered to be slightly toxic when it is in the water soluble compounds. Yttrium rare earth metal's insoluble compounds are accepted to be non-toxic.
*Yttrium is a soft and silvery metal. Most of its compounds are colorless. It is usually ignited in air when heated.
*Although Yttrium element is very reactive in nature, it is not easy to find this element free in nature.
*Through Yttrium's reaction with water, yttrium hydroxide and hydrogen gas is formed.
*Yttrium rare earth element is usually used in making alloys and increasing the strength of some metals. It is also used in electrical and electronic industry.

*Yttrium oxide also is used to produce yttrium-iron-garnets, which are very effective microwave filters.

Boron Carbide Nanoparticles and Their Applications

Boron carbide  which has the chemical formula of B 4 C is one of the hardest materials among the ceramics materials after diamond and boron nitride. In addition to its hardness, it has high thermal stability, low density, chemical inertness and neutron capture property. At temperature above 1200  o C, its hardness exceeds that of the diamond. Thus, it is a crucial material for high technology applications such as abrasive for polishing and grinding media, ceramic amour applications for personal purpose and equipment, blasting nozzles, ceramic bearings, semiconductor applications for dielectric barriers, medical and nuclear applications. B4C (Boron Carbide) Nanoparticles (99.5+%, 40-60nm, Hexagonal)  show an outstanding hardness among the ceramic materials. Therefore, boron carbide nanoparticles are a suitable material for many high performance applications. Boron carbide nanoparticles can be used as polishing, lapping and grinding material for hard mater...

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...
