[edit] Information Sources
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Gadolinium. Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
[edit] Talk
What periodic table group does this belong to? At the moment, the entry in the table for this is blank. The Anome 12:30 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Lanthanides, which I think have no group number. Or do they? I'm not a chemist, just an interested layman... -- Schnee 12:34 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
To my knowlege there is no group number for them. Same with actinides. -fonzy
- I'd propose to always put in "none" for Lanthanides and Actinides, then. -- Schnee 14:52 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
It could be good to mention the "magnetocaloric" effect that is rarely found in Nature except I think in Gadolinium and alloys. It is used in superconductive refrigerators lately. -- User:mtodorov_69 11:31 17 Feb 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Value
Explanation for why 1994 & '95 are in pounds (rather than kilograms): the USGS report provided that measurement in those years. Since that mineral yearbook is the source for these values, I thought it best to provide it in the same measurement for verafiability. I provided the per-gram cost, to allow for a more direct comparison. --LeyteWolfer 05:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Since this is used in medical diagnosis why isnt there more about its poison effect. It shows up in hair analysis as a poison but not much about its effects. (User michael) 13:25, 27 Feb 2007ยงยงยงยง
- The data here gives the impression of an absolutely stable price, yet a 2007 reference says that the price "has dropped three orders of magnitude in recent years"![1] No small contradiction! Wnt (talk) 17:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NFD and Gd in CKD
JAMA/MMWR have identified another series of NFD (this is the accepted nomenclature) after Gd administration in chronic kidney disease.[2] JFW | T@lk 20:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
