Dysprosium is a rare earth metal that enhances coercivity in permanent magnets and has high magnetic susceptibility at elevated temperatures.
Properties of Dysprosium | It exhibits multiple oxidation states with +3 predominant and contributes to thermal stability in magnetic alloys.
Uses of Dysprosium | Used in neodymium iron boron magnets for electric motors, data storage and in nuclear reactor control materials.
Isotopes of Dysprosium | Stable isotope Dy 164 and others exist; dysprosium compounds require routine industrial handling and exposure controls.
