The literature on rare earth elements is vast and varied, from historical details to chemical transformations. The following are reports and papers used by the Corrosion Doctors Webmaster to develop the content you now can read on our Web site. Most of these are readily available as pdf files but if you have difficulty retrieving any of those please send a friendly note to our since he has the full collection neatly stashed away.
