Erbium is a rather base, electropositive, and very reactive metal that tarnishes quickly in air. In humid air, an oxide film forms very quickly. It dissolves slowly in cold water, but very quickly in hot water. In nature, erbium is usually found together with other rare earth metals in minerals such as monazite sand, bastnäsite, or gadolinite.

Rare earth doping of unfilled 4f orbitals has been reported to induce spin polarization in MoS 2 [38]. Additionally, Er doping causes structural distortion in the lattice near the doping point, which is due to the presence of strong coulomb interactions in the erbium atoms, resulting in an uneven charge density distribution [ 39 ].

History. Erbium, one of the so-called rare-earth elements on the lanthanide series, is found in the minerals mentioned under dysprosium. In 1842 Mosander separated "yttria" found in the mineral gadolinite, into three fractions which he called yttria, erbia, and terbia. The names erbia and terbia became confused in this early period.
