Gadolinium Metal

About Gadolinium Metal

Gadolinium is a silvery‐white, malleable and ductile rare earth metal.
Gadolinium metal is available in the forms of slices, granules, ingots, pellets, pieces, powder, rods, wire and sputter targets. Standard and custom packaging options are available. Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) supplies ultra‐high purity and high purity forms of gadolinium metal, including metal powder, gadolinium sheets and foils, gadolinium rods and wires.
Gadolinium is effective in absorbing neutrons and is therefore used in the core of nuclear reactors.
