Thulium is a rare‐earth metal that belongs to the lanthanide series in the periodic table. It exhibits softness, deformability and a silvery appearance. Its natural occurrence is quantifiably the second lowest among the lanthanides after Promethium.
Symbol: Tm
Atomic number: 69
Atomic mass: 168.93422
Element category: Lanthanide
Thulium is a rare-earth metal that is soft, malleable and exhibits a silvery appearance. It belongs to the lanthanide group of the periodic table. It is the second most common lanthanide after promethium.
Thulium metal is scarce and expensive; consequently, it has limited commercial applications. Holmium-Chromium-Thulium-Yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet (Ho:Cr:Tm:YAG) is an active laser medium that achieves high efficiency. Thulium isotopes can be used as a source for X-rays.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) now offers various thulium products, including:
Forms: Powder, sputtering target, or custom-made
Purity: 3N-4N
Thulium Oxide (Tm2O3) / Thulia: 3N-5N
