Technical specifications
This is a rare element — silvery viscous and soft metal, which is easily oxidized in air, has low toxicity. Obtained by separation of rare earth oxides into fractions. It was discovered in 1880 by Jean de Marignac, Gadolinium alloys and especially alloy with cobalt and iron allows to create media with a colossal recording density. The main areas of application of this element are electronics and nuclear power.
