Gadolinium Boride, Gadolinium Hexaboride

Product Code : RE-GdB6-5N-CU

Borides are hard, high-melting materials with metal-like conductivity. They are stable to nonoxidizing acids but break down in strong oxidizing agents and strong alkalis. Borides are used in semiconductors, superconductors, diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetic, turbine blades, and rocket nozzles. Borides have recently been discovered to be superconductive and ultra-incompressible.

Gadolinium Boride, also called Gadolinium Hexaboride, is one of the rare earth borides, the molecular formula is GdB6. It has a wide range of uses and have been successfully used in radar, aerospace, consumer electronics, instrumentation, nuclear power, and other fields.
