1.1 Uses & Benefits

Thallium is a toxic metal and hence it has limited uses. Thallium metal is mostly used for producing photoelectric cells.
In thermometer’s mercury alloy has 8% of thallium, as it has a melting point lower than 20°C.

Magnets of Samarium cobalt alloy are stronger than that of Iron and hence, they are used in microwave application.

Samarium metal also used in optical lasers and infrared absorbing glasses and as a neutron absorber.
