Fig. 1 Single rare-earth ions as atomic-scale probes for electric field and strain. a, The channel of an ultra-scaled transistor is doped with Er ions, which act as atomic scale probes of field and strain. Here the transistor works as a single electron transistor (SET) for recording the Er3+ photo-ionisation spectra.
Rare Earth Element Applications; 1. 57: ... Catalytic purification is a widely utilized method of purifying car emissions on a global scale. Nano-rare earth catalysts are a novel type of high-efficiency car exhaust purification catalyst created by combining the high surface activity of nanomaterials with the properties of rare earth catalytic ...
Thermal barrier coating (TBC) materials can improve energy conversion efficiency and reduce fossil fuel use. Herein, novel rare earth tantalates RETaO 4, as promising candidates for TBCs, were reassembled into multi-component solid solutions with a monoclinic structure to further depress thermal conductivity via an entropy strategy.The …
Microalga was used to treat rare earth elements wastewater and fix carbon dioxide. • Three pilot-scale photobioreactors were selected to treat REEs wastewater and fix CO 2.. Chlamydomonas sp.
