1.It is the raw material for samarium cobalt permanent magnets. The purity of samarium oxide used in samarium cobalt magnets does not need to be too high. From the perspective of cost, about 95% of the products are mainly used.
2. Samarium also has nuclear properties and can be used as structural materials, shielding materials and control materials for atomic energy reactors, so that the huge energy generated by nuclear fission can be safely used. Another isotope, samarium-149, is a strong neutron absorber, so it is added to the control rods of nuclear reactors.
3. The radioisotope samarium-153 is the active ingredient of the drug samarium (153Sm), which is the active ingredient of the drug "Quadramet" for the treatment of lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and osteosarcoma, which can kill cancer cells.
