The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets
The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets Introduction Dysprosium is one of a group of elements called the Rare Earths. Rare earth elements consist of the Lanthanide series of 15 elements plus yttrium and scandium. Yttrium and scandium are included because of similar chemical behavior. The rare earths are divided into light and heavy based on atomic weight and the unique chemical and magnetic properties of each of these categories. Dysprosium (Figure 1) is considered a heavy rare earth element (HREE). One of the more important uses for dysprosium is in neodymium‐iron‐ boron (Neo) permanent magnets to improve the magnets’ resistance to demagnetization, and by extension, its high temperature performance. Neo magnets have become essential for a wide range of consumer, transportation, power generation, defense, aerospace, medical, industrial and other products. Along with terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy) Figure 1: Dysprosium Metal(1) is also used in magnetostrictive devices, but by far the greater usage is in permanent magnets. The demand for Dy has been outstripping its supply. An effect of this continuing shortage is likely to be a slowing of the commercial rollout or a redesigning of a number of Clean Energy applications, including electric traction drives for vehicles and permanent magnet generators for wind turbines. The shortage and associated high prices are also upsetting the market for commercial and industrial motors and products made using them. Background Among the many figures of merit for permanent magnets two are of great importance regarding use of Dy. One key characteristic of a permanent magnet is its resistance to demagnetization, which is quantified by the value of Intrinsic Coercivity (HcJ or Hci). -

Dry air contains 20.946% oxygen by volume in the free form. Oxygen forms about 46.6% by weight of the earth’s crust including oceans and the atmosphere. Most of the combined oxygen is in the form of silicate, oxides and water. The abundance of sulphur in the earth’s crust is only 0.03-0.1%. it is often found as free element near volcanic regions. -

NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102
NOBELIUM Element Symbol: No Atomic Number: 102 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI KERRY LAMB www.raci.org.au NOBELIUM Element symbol: No Atomic number: 102 The credit for discovering Nobelium was disputed with 3 different research teams claiming the discovery. While the first claim dates back to 1957, it was not until 1992 that the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry credited the discovery to a research team from Dubna in Russia for work they did in 1966. The element was named Nobelium in 1957 by the first of its claimed discoverers (the Nobel Institute in Sweden). It was named after Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who invented dynamite, held more than 350 patents and bequeathed his fortune to the establishment of the Nobel Prizes. Nobelium is a synthetic element and does not occur in nature and has no known uses other than in scientific research as only tiny amounts of the element have ever been produced. Nobelium is radioactive and most likely metallic. The appearance and properties of Nobelium are unknown as insufficient amounts of the element have been produced. Nobelium is made by the bombardment of curium (Cm) with carbon nuclei. Its most stable isotope, 259No, has a half-life of 58 minutes and decays to Fermium (255Fm) through alpha decay or to Mendelevium (259Md) through electron capture. Provided by the element sponsor Freehills Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys ARTISTS DESCRIPTION I wanted to depict Alfred Nobel, the namesake of Nobelium, as a resolute young man, wearing the Laurel wreath which is the symbol of victory. -
An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic Table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt
An Alternate Graphical Representation of Periodic table of Chemical Elements Mohd Abubakr1, Microsoft India (R&D) Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad, India. [email protected] Abstract Periodic table of chemical elements symbolizes an elegant graphical representation of symmetry at atomic level and provides an overview on arrangement of electrons. It started merely as tabular representation of chemical elements, later got strengthened with quantum mechanical description of atomic structure and recent studies have revealed that periodic table can be formulated using SO(4,2) SU(2) group. IUPAC, the governing body in Chemistry, doesn‟t approve any periodic table as a standard periodic table. The only specific recommendation provided by IUPAC is that the periodic table should follow the 1 to 18 group numbering. In this technical paper, we describe a new graphical representation of periodic table, referred as „Circular form of Periodic table‟. The advantages of circular form of periodic table over other representations are discussed along with a brief discussion on history of periodic tables. 1. Introduction The profoundness of inherent symmetry in nature can be seen at different depths of atomic scales. Periodic table symbolizes one such elegant symmetry existing within the atomic structure of chemical elements. This so called „symmetry‟ within the atomic structures has been widely studied from different prospects and over the last hundreds years more than 700 different graphical representations of Periodic tables have emerged [1]. Each graphical representation of chemical elements attempted to portray certain symmetries in form of columns, rows, spirals, dimensions etc. Out of all the graphical representations, the rectangular form of periodic table (also referred as Long form of periodic table or Modern periodic table) has gained wide acceptance. -
Unit 3 Notes: Periodic Table Notes John Newlands Proposed an Organization System Based on Increasing Atomic Mass in 1864
Unit 3 Notes: Periodic Table Notes John Newlands proposed an organization system based on increasing atomic mass in 1864. He noticed that both the chemical and physical properties repeated every 8 elements and called this the ____Law of Octaves ___________. In 1869 both Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev showed a connection between atomic mass and an element’s properties. Mendeleev published first, and is given credit for this. He also noticed a periodic pattern when elements were ordered by increasing ___Atomic Mass _______________________________. By arranging elements in order of increasing atomic mass into columns, Mendeleev created the first Periodic Table. This table also predicted the existence and properties of undiscovered elements. After many new elements were discovered, it appeared that a number of elements were out of order based on their _____Properties_________. In 1913 Henry Mosley discovered that each element contains a unique number of ___Protons________________. By rearranging the elements based on _________Atomic Number___, the problems with the Periodic Table were corrected. This new arrangement creates a periodic repetition of both physical and chemical properties known as the ____Periodic Law___. Periods are the ____Rows_____ Groups/Families are the Columns Valence electrons across a period are There are equal numbers of valence in the same energy level electrons in a group. 1 When elements are arranged in order of increasing _Atomic Number_, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical -
