Thulium Oxide (Tm2O3): A High-Purity Rare Earth Solution
Thulium oxide (Tm2O3), also called thulia, is a rare earth oxide renowned for its exceptional high purity and versatility in cutting-edge industries. First isolated in 1879 from an impure sample of erbia, this pale green compound derives its name from the ancient name “Thule,” a mythical region in Scandinavia.
As a thermally stable material with a cubic crystal structure, Tm2O3 serves as a cornerstone in electronic and optical technologies, medical imaging, and nuclear reactor systems. Its hygroscopic nature and soluble properties make it indispensable for synthesis processes in material science and chemical manufacturing.
