Metal Encyclopedia: Seventeen Rare Earth Elements Introduction

Rare-earth element is a general term for 17 elements of lanthanides as well as scandium and yttrium in the chemical periodic table. Scandium and yttrium are included in rare earth element because they are often symbiotic with lanthanide elements in mineral deposits, and thus have similar chemical properties. Rare earth materials are important for many...
