Sentences with phrase «of dysprosium»

China produces 95 % of the worlds supply of the rare earth metal, dysprosium, a key metal in magnets used in the drive motors for hybrid electric vehicles - up to 100 grams of dysprosium per hybrid car produced, according to a Wikipedia reference.

Thiel and Tringides» most recent success is the intercalation of dysprosium onto graphite layers.

Some 16 million tons, translating to a 730 year supply of dysprosium (used in magnets in wind turbines and electric vehicles), a 420 year supply of terbium (used in lasers and semiconductors) and a nearly 800 year supply of yytrium (radar systems).

Experiments performed at Ames Laboratory by post-doctoral researcher Arjun Pathak, and Mahmud Khan (now at Miami University) demonstrated that the cerium - containing alloy's intrinsic coercivity — the ability of a magnetic material to resist demagnetization — far exceeds that of dysprosium - containing magnets at high temperatures.

Now Pimenov and his team have succeeded in switching such excitations on and off with an electric field in a special material made of dysprosium, manganese and oxygen (DyMnO3).

And China is the only producer of dysprosium — vital for the heat - resistant magnets favored by the U.S. military and hybrid car — makers.

A decrease in Chinese production of dysprosium highlighted by research commissioned by Northern Minerals, has placed an increasing focus on the company's Browns Range rare earths project.

Not exact matches

The key rare earth mineral to be produced at Browns Range is «dysprosium», a principal ingredient in the manufacturing of large industrial magnets that are mostly used in the clean tech sector.

With construction of Browns Range on track to be completed next month, there could hardly be a better time for Northern to emerge as the only dysprosium source outside of China.

The key for such new wave of EVs is a magnet for electric motors developed by the Japanese firm, which halves the use of a rare earth called neodymium and eliminates the use of others called terbium and dysprosium, the company revealed on Tuesday.

Scientific Reports published this week set out the discovery of a seemingly indefinite deposit of yttrium, europium, terbium and dysprosium that exists off the coast of Japan.

As it stands, 97 percent of the 124,000 metric tons of neodymium, dysprosium — the name means «hard to get» — and other important rare earth elements produced each year come from one place: China.

Inside the coil is a rod of terbium dysprosium, which is a magneto - strictive material — its length changes with the magnetic field.

The problem: While iron and boron are readily available, the supply of neodymium and dysprosium is critical.

The Manchester team managed to stabilise a single atom of the element dysprosium by attaching two carbon rings to the sides of the element.

The new alloy — a potential replacement for high - performance permanent magnets found in automobile engines and wind turbines — eliminates the use of one of the scarcest and costliest rare earth elements, dysprosium, and instead uses cerium, the most abundant rare earth.

The strategy identified five rare earth metals (dysprosium, neodymium, terbium, europium, and yttrium) as well as indium as «most critical in the short term,» as measured by their importance to clean - energy technologies and the risk of supply disruption.

An electric motor in a Prius, for instance, requires 2 to 4 pounds of neodymium and dysprosium for its drive motor and lanthanum in its rechargeable battery.

«By effectively solving the dysprosium supply problem for the wind turbine industry, this technology removes a major hurdle to the expansion of permanent magnet generator wind turbines across global markets,» said Mark A. Smith, Molycorp's CEO.
