Lutetium oxide (Lu 2 O 3 ) is the oxide form compound of one of the rare earth metal lutetium. Lutetium oxide has also different names like lutecia and lutetium sesquioxide. Lutetium oxide has a white color. Lutetium oxide is not soluble in water. Lutetium oxide has a cubic crystal structure. 2487 o C is the melting point, which quite high enough, of lutetium oxide compound. Due to lutetium oxide’s air sensitivity lutetium oxide is compatible with strong oxidizing agents. Therefore, there is need for lutetium oxide to be avoided from moisture and carbon dioxide. Moreover, lutetium oxide is the one of the promising laser host materials for high power and ultrashort pulse lasers. Lutetium oxide has a wide band gap (5.5eV). Lutetium oxide is used as cracking, alkylation, hydrogenation and polymerization Lutetium oxide is used as specialty in ceramics, glass, phosphorous and lasers Lutetium oxide is used as starting material in the production of laser crystals Lutetium oxide i...

* Like promethium, Lutetium is also an element which is not that old. Lutetium Rare Earth Element was the last natural rare earth element to be discovered by Charles James and Georges Urbain. Lutetium’s atomic weight is 174.97 and its chemical symbol is Lu. *Lutetium rare earth element's name comes from Lutetia which is latin name of Paris. *This silvery-white rare earth element is considered to be non-toxic and Lutetium rare earth element is included in lanthanide element family. *Lutetium rare earth element’s reaction with air happens slowly and after 150◦C, it burns to the oxide. *In lanthanide element family, Lutetium is the densest and hardest one. *Lutetium is mostly used in petrochemical industries for cracking hydrocarbons. And lutetium is also very useful in cancer therapies. *Lutetium rare earth element's isotopes are so effective reveal the age of ancient meteorites, blue stone...i.e * Lutetium rare earth element also has applications for petroleum ref...
