Thulium Metal

Thulium Metal

Thulium, a bright silvery luster, is the second least abundant rare earth metal.

Thulium metal is rare and expensive, so it almost has no commercial applications. Holmium-chromium-thulium triple-doped Yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:Cr:Tm:YAG, or Ho,Cr,Tm:YAG) is an active laser medium material with high efficiency. Thulium isotopes can be used as a X-ray source.

Application of thulium

Thulium is used as the radiation source for portable X-ray devices which are important tools for medical and dental diagnosis. Thulium is also a component of lasers with emissions in the microwave region, which makes them useful in military, medicine and meteorology.
