Rare and rare earth metals are widely used in various industries and are found in almost everything that we use on a daily basis.
Rare earths - "oil of the XXI century". Just as the industrial revolution of the XIX century was impossible without coal, and without oil we cannot imagine the industry of the XX century, so high technologies of our time cannot exist without rare earth elements: electronics, robotics, aviation, space industry, communications, science, energy.
REMs have a number of unique physical and chemical properties that predetermine their importance in modern materials science:
chemical:
unique electron configuration
catalytic:
storage and release of oxygen
magnetic:
high values of magnetic anisotropy and magnetic moment
optical:
fluorescence, high refractive index
metallurgical:
efficient storage of hydrogen in alloys
