It is extracted from its ores by heating lanthanum metal with ytterbium oxide. |
The 70th element, ytterbium, was named after the small Swedish town of Ytterby. |
The anomalously large LCTE values for europium and ytterbium again confirm the divalent nature of those two metals. |
Other researchers are looking into using different atoms, such as calcium, strontium, and ytterbium. |
The village is Ytterby and the elements are yttrium, erbium, terbium and ytterbium. |
We present evidence of a relatively high dimensionless figure of merit in a polycrystalline skutterudite partially filled with ytterbium ions. |
