Terbium
Terbium, atomic no.65, symbol as Tb, weight at 158.9254
Terbium, atomic no.: 65, symbol as Tb, weight at 158.93, is primarily used in phosphors, particularly in fluorescent lamps and as the high intensity green emitter used in projection televisions, such as the Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Tb:YAG) variety.
Terbium responds efficiently to x-ray excitation and is, therefore, used as an x-ray phosphor.
Terbium alloys are also used in magneto-optic recording films, such as TbFeCo.
Terbium is also used in alloys and in the production of electronic devices. As a component of Terfenol-D, Terbium is of use in actuators, in naval sonar systems, sensors, in the SoundBug device (its first commercial application), and other magnetomechanical devices.
