Gadolinium Metal
chemical
element:
Gd
( granular )
Ultra pure quantities of the
element Gadolinium (atomic number 64),
ideal for element collectors or those conducting experiments/producing
alloys with pure Gadolinium metal. It has the highest thermal neutron
capture cross-section of any known element. Gadolinium becomes
superconductive below a critical temperature of 1.083 K. It is strongly
magnetic at room temperature, and exhibits ferromagnetic properties below
room temperature. Gadolinium metal is used as an emergency shut-down
measure in some types of nuclear reactors.
