Holmium hydride(HoH2)-Powder
Characteristic
Holmium is a chemical element with the symbol Ho and atomic number 67. Part of the lanthanide series, holmium is a rare-earth element. Like dysprosium, it is a metal that absorbs neutrons produced by nuclear fission.Stable in dry air at room temperature, easily oxidized in humid air and high temperature.

Application
Holmium has the highest magnetic permeability of any element and therefore is used for the polepieces of the strongest static magnets. Because holmium strongly absorbs neutrons, it is also used as a burnable poison in nuclear reactors.Holmium-doped fibers can be used to make fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, fiber sensors, etc.
