The addition of terbium can improve the performance of permanent magnets with neodymium-iron-boron and increase the operating temperature from just under 80 to 200 degrees Celsius. NdFeB magnets are increasingly in demand for applications such as electromobility, wind power, consumer electronics and military technology. Terbium is also used for doping semiconductors and as a stabiliser for fuel cells. Other areas of application include phosphors and lasers as well as ceramics for dentistry.
