Neodymium(III) oxide or neodymium
sesquioxide is the chemical
compound composed of neodymium and oxygen with the formula Nd2O3. It forms very light grayish-blue hexagonal crystals.[1] The rare earth mixture didymium, previously
believed to be an element, partially
consists of neodymium(III) oxide.
Detailed description
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.[4] 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.[5] About 7000 tonnes of neodymium(III) oxide are produced
worldwide each year. Neodymium(III) oxide is also used as a polymerization catalyst.[4]
Reactions
Neodymium(III) oxide is formed when neodymium(III)
nitride or neodymium(III)
hydroxide is burned in air.
