Investing in Thulium



Thulium is lanthanoid with uses in lasers, x-ray sources, and high temperature superconductors. It is found in monazite. Holmium-chromium-thulium triple-doped YAG lases at 2097 nm and is used in meteorology, medicine and military applications. Thulium lasers have a wavelength that makes them good candidates for laser surgery.
