  • Rare earth element | erbium (Er)

    In 1843, Mossander of Sweden discovered the element erbium. The optical properties of erbium are very prominent, and the light emission at 1550mm of EP+, which has always been a concern, has special significance because this wavelength is precisely located at the lowest perturbation of the optic...

  • Rare earth element | Dysprosium(Dy)

    In 1886, the Frenchman Boise Baudelaire successfully separated holmium into two elements, one still known as holmium, and the other named dysrosium based on the meaning of "difficult to obtain" from holmium (Figures 4-11). Dysprosium is currently playing an increasingly important role in many hi...
