Dysprosium(III) oxide

Dysprosium oxide (Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) is a sesquioxide compound of the rare earth metal dysprosium. It is a pastel yellowish-greenish, slightly hygroscopic powder having specialized uses in ceramics, glass, phosphors, lasers, dysprosium metal halide lamps, and as a Faraday rotator.

It can react with acids to produce the corresponding dysprosium(III) salts:

Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + 6 HCl → 2 DyCl<sub>3</sub> + 3 H<sub>2</sub>O
