Terbium, a very soft silvery rare earth metal, is mainly used in green phosphors. Together with divalent europium blue phosphors and trivalent europium red phosphors, terbium green phosphors are used to produce standard white light for indoor lighting. Terbium compounds are useful biological probes due to the long emission lifetime of terbium. As a component of Terfenol-D, terbium is widely also used in actuators, naval sonar systems, sensors SoundBug devices and other magnetomechanical devices. Terbium is also used as a crystal stabilizer for fuel cells which operate at high temperatures.
Ytterbium, named after a Swedish village, is another soft and bright silvery metal with various applications. Ytterbium-169 is a radiation source for portable X-ray machines and it is also used in nuclear medicine. Ytterbium is doped to stainless steel to enhance its mechanical properties. Low concentrations of ytterbium are doped to active laser media to create powerful lasers. Ytterbium is used in the world’s most stable atomic clock and it is also used in stress gauges to monitor deformation form earthquakes and explosions on the ground.
