Samarium is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Sm and atomic number 62. Samarium is a medium-hard silvery-white metal that oxidizes easily in air. As a typical lanthanide element, samarium usually has an oxidation state of +3. Compounds of samarium (II), the most common are SmO, SmS, SmSe, and SmTe. Samarium has no significant biological effect and is only mildly toxic. Samarium is one of the lanthanides (rare earth elements) that perplexed chemists in the 19th century. Its history began with the discovery of cerium in 1803.
Cerium was presumed to contain other metals, and in 1839 Carl Mosander claimed to have obtained lanthanum and didymium from it. However, didymium is actually a mixture of praseodymium and neodymium. In 1879, Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran again extracted didymium from yttriobite, after which he prepared a solution of didymium nitrate and added ammonium hydroxide, and found that the precipitate formed in two stages. He measured the spectrum of the first precipitate and concluded that it was a new element, samarium. (Europium was discovered in samarium in 1901.)

Metallic samarium
Metallic samarium
It is quite stable in dry air and forms an oxide film on the surface in moist air. It will not decompose if used and stored according to specifications. Avoid contact with acid, oxide and moisture. Soluble in acid, insoluble in water. Easy to combine with non-metallic elements. The fine powder will spontaneously Occurs in nature as salt of samarium trivalent. It can be used as neutron absorber, photoelectric equipment and alloy manufacturing.

Used in the manufacture of laser materials, microwave and infrared equipment, in the atomic energy industry also has a more important use.
Used in electronics and ceramics industry. Samarium is easily magnetized but hard to demagnetize, which means it will have important applications in solid-state components and superconducting technologies in the future.
Since Mosandel's discovery of lanthanum, erbium and terbium, chemists around the world have paid special attention to separating new elements from the discovered rare earth elements. In 1878, the French spectrographer and chemist De la Fontene discovered a new element called decipium from the element known as didymium, which had been discovered by Mosandel. But in 1879, another French chemist, Boisbaudronli, used spectroscopic analysis to determine decipium as a mixture of unknown and known rare earth elements, from which he isolated a new element that was unknown at the time and named it samarium, the element symbol Sm, or samarium.
Samarium and the subsequent discoveries of gadolinium, praseodymium, and neodymium were isolated from didymium, which was then considered a rare earth element. As a result of their discovery, didymium is no longer retained. And it was their discovery that opened the door to the third stage of the discovery of rare earth elements. But this is only half of the third phase. The other half will be the opening of the gate or the separation of yttrium.
