Among alloys, the highest known magnetostriction is exhibited by Terfenol-D, ( Ter for terbium, Fe for iron, NOL for Naval Ordnance Laboratory, and D for dysprosium ).

As a component of Terfenol-D ( an alloy that expands and contracts when exposed to magnetic fields more than any other alloy ), terbium is of use in actuators, in naval sonar systems and in sensors.

Terfenol-D, < sub > x </ sub >< sub > 1-x </ sub >, exhibits about 2, 000 microstrains in a field of 2 kOe ( 160 kA / m ) at room temperature and is the most commonly used engineering magnetostrictive material

Terfenol-D, an alloy of the formula < sub > x </ sub >< sub > 1-x </ sub > ( x ~ 0. 3 ) is a magnetostrictive material.

Dysprosium is used for its high thermal neutron absorption cross-section in making control rods in nuclear reactors, for its high magnetic susceptibility in data storage applications, and as a component of Terfenol-D. Soluble dysprosium salts are mildly toxic, while the insoluble salts are considered non-toxic.

Dysprosium is one of the components of Terfenol-D, along with iron and terbium.

This phenomenon has been used for further distilling of vodka to higher alcohol concentrations, in a room-temperature laboratory, without the application of heat or vacuum normally used in traditional distillation methods.

Similar to nitrogen, phosphorus has one more electron than carbon and thus acts as a donor ; however, the ionization energy of phosphorus ( 0. 6 eV ) is much smaller than that of nitrogen ( 1. 7 eV ) and is small enough for room-temperature thermal ionization.
