Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1251-1274, September 2025.Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Indentation recovery in GdPO4 and observation of deformation twinning
AIP Advances, 2016 A series of nanoindentation tests on both single and polycrystalline specimens of a monazite rare-earth orthophosphate, GdPO4, revealed frequent observation of anomalous unloading behavior with a large degree of recovery, where previously this behavior ...

Distinguishing xenotime and zircon in ores and estimating the xenotime content for on-site analysis
Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular SpectroscopyEstimation of the content of the major minerals containing rare earth element (REE) (e.g., xenotime, monazite, and bastnäsite) to extract metal REEs is a critical task for efficient exploration of mines with REE reserves. X-ray-excited optical luminescence (XEOL) imaging is a promising method for estimating the REE-bearing mineral content on-site ...
