APPLICATIONS OF TERBIUM
Terbium is primarily used in phosphors, particularly in fluorescent lamps and as the high intensity green emitter used in projection televisions, such as the yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Tb:YAG) variety.
Terbium responds efficiently to x-ray excitation and is, therefore, used as an x-ray phosphor.
Terbium alloys are also used in magneto-optic recording films, such as Tb-Fe-Co.
