promethiumipohjaiset
Promethiumipohjaiset, a Finnish term, translates to "promethium-based." This designation would generally refer to materials, compounds, or devices that incorporate the element promethium. Promethium (Pm) is a rare-earth element with atomic number 61. It is highly radioactive, with its most stable isotope, promethium-145, having a half-life of 17.7 years. Due to its radioactivity and scarcity, naturally occurring promethium is extremely rare, and most of it is produced artificially.
The primary applications of promethium, and therefore of "promethiumipohjaiset" materials, stem from its radioactive properties. Promethium-147
Another potential area for promethium-based technology is in radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). These devices convert the
