History

The atomic number is 64 and the chemical symbol is Gd. The name derives from the mineral gadolinite in which it was found and which had been named for the Finnish rare earth chemist Johan Gadolin. It was discovered by the Swiss chemist Jean-Charles Galissard de Marignac in 1886 who produced a white oxide he called Yα in a samarskite mineral. In 1886 the French chemist Paul-Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran gave the name gadolinium to Yα.
