Dysprosium Oxide

White powder,insoluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids

Application

• Dysprosium Oxide, is the main raw materials for Dysprosium Metal which is widely used in Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets, also have specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers and Dysprosium Metal halide lamp. 
• High purity of Dysprosium Oxide is used in electronics industry as an antireflection coating in photoelectric devices. 
• Because of dysprosium's high thermal-neutron absorption cross-section, Dysprosium-Oxide–Nickel cermets are used in neutron-absorbing control rods in nuclear reactors. 
• Dysprosium and its compounds are highly susceptible to magnetization, they are employed in various data-storage applications, such as in hard disks.
