Gadolinium is a silvery-white malleable and ductile rare-earth metal. It crystallizes in hexagonal, close-packed Î±-form at room temperature, but, when heated to temperatures above 1235 Â°C, it transforms into its Î²-form, which has a body-centered cubic structure.adolinium as a phosphor is also used in other imaging. In X-ray systems, gadolinium is contained in the phosphor layer, suspended in a polymer matrix at the detector. Terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (Gd 2 O 2 S: Tb) at the phosphor layer converts the X-rays released from the source into light.
