Features: The numerous excellent properties of rare earth materials make them widely used in various fields of the national economy, national defense construction, and modern science and technology. This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the composition, structure, properties, preparation, and application technologies of various rare earth materials (both functional and structural). It discusses in chapters the rare earth metal and alloy materials, rare earth glass-ceramic materials, rare earth magnetic materials, rare earth luminescent and laser materials, rare earth thermoelectric heating and cathode emission materials, rare earth hydrogen storage materials, rare earth nuclear materials, rare earth catalytic materials, rare earth superconducting materials, rare earth polymer materials, and scandium and its material applications. It also provides detailed introductions to the development of rare earth resources, rare earth compounds used in materials, as well as the new theories, methods, technologies, processes, and applications emerging in the field of rare earth materials. This book is suitable for science and technology personnel engaged in the production, research, design, and use of new materials in various industries, as well as senior students, graduate students, and teachers of relevant majors in universities and colleges.
