Terbium is a lanthanide rare-earth metal with atomic number 65. It is chemically similar to neighboring gadolinium and dysprosium and occurs in minerals with other rare earths rather than as a native element. Its most distinctive technological role comes from Tb³⁺ luminescence, which gives intense green emission in suitable host materials, and from the large magnetostrictive response of terbium-containing alloys.
Terbium is reasonably stable in air. It is a silver-gray metal, and is malleable, ductile, and soft enough to be cut with a knife. Two crystal modifications exist, with a transformation temperature of 1289°C. Twenty one isotopes with atomic masses ranging from 145 to 165 are recognized. The oxide is a chocolate or dark maroon color.
The name derives from the village of Ytterby in Sweden, where the mineral ytterbite (the source of terbium) was first found. Terbium was discovered by the Swedish surgeon and chemist Carl-Gustav Mosander in 1843 in an yttrium salt, which he resolved into three elements. He called one yttrium, a rose-colored salt he called terbium, and a deep-yellow peroxide he called erbium. In 1862, the Swiss chemist Marc Delafontaine reexamined yttrium and found the yellow peroxide. Because the name erbium had now been assigned to the rose-colored oxide, he reintroduced the name terbium for the yellow peroxide. Thus the original names given to erbium and terbium samples are now switched.
The mineral gadolinite ((Ce, La, Nd, Y)2FeBe2Si2O10), discovered in a quarry near the town of Ytterby, Sweden, has been the source of a great number of rare earth elements. In 1843, Carl Gustaf Mosander, a Swedish chemist, was able to separate gadolinite into three materials, which he named yttria, erbia and terbia. As might be expected considering the similarities between their names and properties, scientists soon confused erbia and terbia and, by 1877, had reversed their names. What Mosander called erbia is now called terbia and visa versa. From these two substances, Mosander discovered two new elements, terbium and erbium. Today, terbium can be obtained from the minerals xenotime (YPO4) and euxenite ((Y, Ca, Er, La, Ce, U, Th)(Nb, Ta, Ti)2O6), but is primarily obtained through an ion exchange process from monazite sand ((Ce, La, Th, Nd, Y)PO4), a material rich in rare earth elements that typically contains as much as 0.03% terbium.
Discovered by Mosander in 1843. Terbium is a member of the lanthanide or "rare earth" group of elements. It is found in cerite, gadolinite, and other minerals along with other rare earths. It is recovered commercially from monazite in which it is present to the extent of 0.03%, from xenotime, and from euxenite, a complex oxide containing 1% or more of terbia.
Pure terbium is a soft, silvery-gray metal. It is malleable enough to be cut and, like many lanthanides, slowly tarnishes in air as surface oxides form. It has more than one solid allotrope, with a structural change at elevated temperature.
Terbium is used mainly in small amounts where its optical or magnetic properties are valuable. Tb³⁺ activators provide green emission in phosphors for lighting, displays, and some X-ray imaging materials. Terbium is also a component of Terfenol-D, a terbium-dysprosium-iron magnetostrictive alloy used in actuators, sonar transducers, and vibration-control devices. In research and specialized instruments, terbium compounds are used as luminescent probes and magnetic materials.
Terbium is used to dope some types of solid-state devices and, along with zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), as a crystal stabilizer in fuel cells that operate at high temperatures.
Terbia, the renamed material that Mosander discovered in 1843, is terbium oxide (Tb2O3), one of terbium's compounds. Terbia can potentially be used as an activator for green phosphors in television tubes. Sodium terbium borate, another terbium compound, is used to make laser light.
Sodium terbium borate is used in solid-state devices. It can be used with ZrO2 as a crystal stabilizer of fuel cells which operate at elevated temperature. Few other uses have been found.

Terbium most commonly forms trivalent compounds containing Tb³⁺. Representative materials include terbium(III) oxide, Tb₂O₃, terbium(III) chloride, TbCl₃, and terbium(III) fluoride, TbF₃. Unlike many lanthanides, terbium also has accessible tetravalent chemistry in strongly oxidizing oxide and fluoride environments; terbium(IV) oxide, TbO₂, is a well established example. Mixed-valence oxides and doped host lattices are important because they tune luminescence, oxygen storage, and magnetic behavior.
See more information at the Terbium compound page.
Metallic terbium is not highly toxic in ordinary handling, but powders can be a fire and dust hazard, and soluble terbium salts should be treated as harmful laboratory chemicals. Fine metal reacts more readily with air and moisture than bulk pieces. Terbium has no known biological role. Commercial terbium is essentially stable isotopically; radiological hazards apply only to artificially produced radioactive isotopes or activated materials.
Little is known of the toxicity of terbium. It should be handled with care as with other lanthanide element
Terbium is a dispersed lithophile element found in rare-earth minerals such as monazite, bastnäsite, xenotime, and ion-adsorption clays. In soils and waters it is generally immobile because Tb³⁺ binds strongly to phosphates, carbonates, oxides, and organic matter. Natural concentrations are low, and biological uptake is limited. Environmental concern is usually associated with mining, acid leaching, and waste handling rather than with terbium metal itself.
Terbium is produced as a separated rare-earth product, not mined alone. Ores and concentrates are processed to dissolve mixed rare earths, then solvent extraction or ion exchange separates terbium from chemically similar lanthanides. Supply is constrained by the low abundance of terbium in many deposits, the complexity of separation, and dependence on rare-earth refining capacity. Demand is driven by phosphors and magnetostrictive alloys, but use per device is usually small. Recycling is technically possible from phosphor powders and some magnets or alloys, yet collection and separation are often limiting.
Found with other rare earths in monazite sand, which typically contain 0.03% terbium. Other sources are xenotime and euxenite, both of which are oxide mixtures that can contain up to 1% terbium.
Terbium is a heavy rare-earth element made mainly by neutron-capture nucleosynthesis in earlier generations of stars, with contributions from slow and rapid neutron-capture processes. It is far less abundant cosmically than iron-group elements and lighter rock-forming elements. In planetary materials it follows other trivalent lanthanides and concentrates in refractory mineral phases rather than volatile reservoirs.
- Terbium has only one stable natural isotope, ¹⁵⁹Tb.
- Its name comes from Ytterby, the Swedish locality linked to several rare-earth element names.
- Tb³⁺ emission is commonly used as a green reference in luminescence spectroscopy.
- Terfenol-D takes its name from terbium, iron, Naval Ordnance Laboratory, and dysprosium.
- Terbium can form stable Tb⁴⁺ in oxides more readily than most lanthanides.

Terbium has been isolated only in recent years with the development of ion-exchange techniques for separating the rare-earth elements. As with other rare earth metals, it can be produced by reducing the anhydrous chloride or fluoride with calcium metal in a tantalum crucible. Calcium and tantalum impurities can be removed by vacuum remelting. Other methods of isolation are possible.
