In 1934, Wilhelm Klemm and Heinrich Bommer reduced the anhydrous chloride with potassium vapor to produce fairly pure erbium metal. Properties of erbium Similar to other lanthanides or rare earth ...

Moderate temperatures, narrow spectral lines To integrate erbium atoms into such a crystal—in technical jargon, to dope it—it first had to be endowed with nanometer-fine structures. They serve ...

A new password-stealing malware called Erbium that is currently being distributed as fake cracks and cheats for popular video games is gaining popularity among cybercriminals. As reported by ...

Recently, we have shown that one rare earth element, erbium (element 68), can play a crucial part in the future quantum internet. Even the name “rare earths” is misleading. In fact ...

At temperatures close to absolute zero, a cloud of about 70,000 erbium atoms forms a magnetic Bose-Einstein condensate. In a condensate, the particles lose their individual properties and ...
