Best Answer

A rare-earth metal with the symbol Dy and atomic number 66. It is a metal with a metallic silver luster and a high thermal neutron absorption cross-section. Dysprosium has seven isotopes, the most abundant of which is 164 Dy. It is used for its high thermal neutron absorption cross-section in nuclear reactors and its high magnetic susceptibility in data-storage applications.
