High-Purity Rare Earth Tm Metal Thulium Powder CAS 7440-30-4
Properties
1. Physical Characteristics:
Thulium is a rare earth metal with a hexagonal crystal structure. It oxidizes slowly in air, forming a yellowish oxide layer .
Soluble in acids but reacts slowly with water .
2. Magnetic Properties:
Exhibits paramagnetic behavior, though less pronounced compared to other lanthanides like holmium.
3. Isotopes:
Naturally occurring stable isotope: Tm-169. Radioactive isotopes (e.g., Tm-170) are used in medical and industrial applications.
Products Usage
1. Medical Uses:
X-ray Devices: Activated Tm-169 serves as a portable X-ray source and phosphor activator in medical imaging.
Radiotherapy: Radioisotopes like Tm-170 are explored for cancer treatment.
