Tuning the emission colour by manipulating terbium-terbium interactions: Terbium doped aluminum nitride as an example system [PDF]
Terbium-terbium interactions in terbium doped semiconductors and insulators may lead to the so-called cross-relaxation process, which increases the D54 (green) emission of the terbium ions at the cost of the D53 (blue) luminescence intensity. This effect can generally be reduced by increasing the distance between an excited ion and the nearest ion in ...

Elastic properties of terbium [PDF]
The temperature dependence of the Young modulus along the crystallographic axes b and c (E(b) and E(c)), and the internal friction of a terbium single crystal have been measured. At 4.2 K, E(b) and E(c) are equal to 38 and 84.5 GPa, respectively. The lattice part of the Young modulus and the Debye temperature has been calculated.

Terbium-149 production: a focus on yield and quality improvement towards preclinical application [PDF]
Terbium-149 (T1/2 = 4.1 h, Eα = 3.98 MeV (16.7%), 28 µm range in tissue) is a radionuclide with potential for targeted alpha therapy. Due to the negligible emission of α-emitting daughter nuclides, toxicity to healthy tissue may be reduced in comparison ...

Preparation of long-lived terbium-157 and terbium-158 [PDF]
A 5-mg sample of dysprosium oxide enriched to 13.8% in Dy/sup 156/ was irradiated with neutrons in the Materials Testing Reactor. The sample received an exposure of 2 x 10/sup 21/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/ over a three-month interval. Four months after irradiation, mass analysis was made of the unseparated sample.
