Research studies undertaken by the oxides reveal that certain rare earth oxides are best suited for specific commercial, military, and medical applications. Comprehensive research studies undertaken by the author on specific rare earth oxides indicate that thulium oxide and holmium oxide are best suited for infrared lasers. Radiation studies seem to indicate that gre ater radiation danger can be expected from the processed REEs than from the processed oxides. Mild radiation danger can be expected from rare earth isotopes, if they are not handled with extreme care. It should be mentioned that the radiation danger is strictly dependent on the half-life of the isotope. Doctors, nurses, and lab technicians must be familiar with the half-life of the rare earth isotopes, if they are using rare earth isotopes in medical treatment. This is absolutely essential to avoid irreversible health injury to the patient.

The composition of the resulting solid solution was controlled by comparison with the X-ray fluorescence spectrum of a standard sample prepared from barium carbonate and thulium oxide (50% mole fractions) using a SUR 01 Renom spectrometer with an X-ray fluorescence detector. The quality of the synthesised solid solution sample was checked by the calculated X-ray diffraction pattern (Figure 2).
