Samarium Powder

Product Overview
Samarium powder is a high-purity metallic powder made from the rare earth element samarium, characterized by a silvery metallic luster. As a typical representative of the lanthanide series, samarium exhibits excellent chemical and physical properties, predominantly existing in the +3 oxidation state. Freshly prepared samarium powder is prone to oxidation in air and must be stored in an inert gas environment. Its stable structure and broad chemical reactivity make it valuable in various applications.
