It forms very light grayish-blue hexagonal crystals.〔 The rare earth mixture didymium, previously believed to be an element, partially consists of neodymium(III) oxide.〔 〕 ==Uses== Neodymium(III) oxide is used to dope glass, including sunglasses, to make solid-state lasers, and to color glasses and enamels.〔 〕 Neodymium-doped glass turns purple due to the absorbance of yellow and green light, and is used in welding goggles.〔 〕 Some neodymium-doped glass is dichroic; that is, it changes color depending on the lighting. One kind of glass named for the mineral alexandrite appears blue in sunlight and red in artificial light.〔 〕 About 7000 tonnes of neodymium(III) oxide are produced worldwide each year. Neodymium(III) oxide is also used as a polymerization catalyst.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neodymium(III) oxide」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
