Hafnium
Hafnium is a chemical element, chemical symbol is Hf, and its atomic number is 72, atomic weight of 178.49. It is a shiny silver-grey transition metal with a melting point of 2233°C, boiling point of 4602°C, and density of 13.31 g/cm3. The nature of dense hafnium metal is not active, the surface of the formation of oxide coating, at room temperature is very stable, powder hafnium easy to spontaneous combustion in air. Hafnium has a strong ability to absorb hydrogen and can form up to HfH2.1. Hafnium reacts with nitrogen at high temperatures. Due to the contraction of the lanthanide series, the atomic radius of the hafnium is almost the same as that of the zirconium, so the hafnium is very similar to the zirconium in nature and is difficult to separate, it mainly because the density of the hafnium is twice that of the zirconium. Hafnium does not act with dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid and strong alkali solution, but soluble in hydrofluoric acid. Hafnium has an oxidation state of +2, +3, +4, among which the +4 valence compound is the most stable. Hafnium is used in filaments and electrodes. Some semiconductor fabrication processes use its oxide for integrated circuits at 45 nm and smaller feature lengths. Some super alloys used for special applications contain hafnium in combination with niobium, titanium, or tungsten.
