Dysprosium Oxide Nanoparticles

Dy 2 O 3 (Dysprosium Oxide) Nanoparticles and Applications of Dysprosium Oxide Nanopowder What is Dysprosium Oxide? Dysprosium Oxide (Dy 2 O 3 ) is a chemical compound which consists of a rare metal Dysprosium and Oxygen. It is a solid in room temperature and has a very high melting point which is 2408 °C. Uses and Properties of Dysprosium Oxide Dysprosium Oxide is suitable for ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers and metal halide lamps applications. This compound is used in electronics industry as an antireflection coating in photoelectric devices. Because of dysprosium's high thermal-neutron absorption cross-section, Dysprosium-Oxide–Nickel cermets are used in neutron-absorbing control rods in nuclear reactors. Dysprosium and its compounds are highly susceptible to magnetization, they are employed in various data-storage applications, such as in hard disks. Why Nanoparticles are Important? Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. Interest in na...
