Rare Earths Members Neodymium (Nd) is the element after which Neodymium magnets are named. Praseodymium (Pr) is so close to Neodymium (Nd) that it is used in Neodymium magnets. Pr is right next to Nd on the periodic table and it's properties are very similar to those of Nd. So similar that about 25-35% of [...]
The Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE), light-group rare earths, or LREE are a subset of the lanthanide series of the rare earth elements, which are themselves a special set of transition metals. Like other metals, the light rare earths have a shiny metallic appearance. They tend to produce colored complexes in solution, conduct heat and [...]
Rare Earth Elements & Metals The rare earth elements are a group of transition metals, found mainly in the first row below the periodic table (the lanthanide series), plus scandium and yttrium. Despite the name, these elements are fairly abundant in the Earth’s crust. However, they do not occur in pure form in nature but [...]
Difference Between Light Rare Earth Element (LREE) & Heavy Rare Earth Element (HREE) LREE HREE Rare earth elements possess special chemical and physical properties that they help make smartphones, hybrid cars and other high-tech devices possible. REEs consist of the 15 elements in the Lanthanide series and two other elements that don't belong to that [...]
