Thulium

About Thulium (Tm)

Symbol: Tm
Atomic number: 69
Atomic weight: 168.93422
Element category: lanthanide
Thulium is a bright, lustrous, soft, malleable, silvery rare earth metal, a member of the lanthanide group of the periodic table. It is the second least abundant of the lanthanides, only after promethium.
Thulium metal is rare and costly, resulting in minimal commercial applications. Holmium-chromium-thulium triple-doped Yttrium aluminium garnet (Ho:Cr:Tm:YAG, or Ho,Cr,Tm:YAG) serves as an active laser medium material with high efficiency. Thulium isotopes can function as an X-ray source.
