Dysprosium is a chemical element of the subgroup yttrium, a rare earth metal. It has a silvery color characterized by a matte sheen. Dysprosium oxidizes slowly in the air, does not dissolve in water. Its properties hardly differ from other lanthanides. Dysprosium is present in small amounts in phosphors, magnetic alloys, and special glasses.

Dysprosium is a base metal and is very reactive. In the air, this metal is covered with an oxide layer, and it dissolves in water and diluted acids with the formation of hydrogen. Dysprosium and holmium have the highest magnetic strengths of all elements at low temperatures.

Together with vanadium, dysprosium is used for the production of laser materials. Due to the high thermal absorption cross-section of neutrons, nickel oxide-dysprosium cermet is used in nuclear reactions as control rods. Dysprosium in combination with cadmium is used as a source of infrared radiation, which is used to study various chemical reactions. As dysprosium is very susceptible to magnetization, it is used for various information media, especially for CDs.

Properties of dysprosium:

• reactive metal
