Gargoyles and Grotesque are two very similar works of art, but they get mixed up all of the time. Both structures are commonly known, and have a very eerie look to them. The term gargoyle originates from the French word âgargouille.â Gargoyles are used for many reasons. They ward off any evil, harmful, or unwanted spirits, to protect homes, and churches. They were also used as a water spout, to drain rainwater that may harm, or ruin a building. The water would pour out of the gargoyle through a trough that was cut in the figureâs neck, that went through the mouth, and out. Gargoyles are usually made from granite, and are found on old churches, and gothic structures.
Gadolinium is used in alloys of iron and chromium to improve resistance to high temperatures and oxidation. Gadolinium is used to make gadolinium yttrium garnets which have microwave applications. Gadolinium compounds are used as green phosphors in color television picture tubes.Because of its magnetic properties, gadolinium is also used in intravenous radiocontrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).aturally occurring gadolinium is a mixture of seven isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 152 Gd (0.2%), 154 Gd (2.2%), 155 Gd (14.8%), 156 Gd (20.5%), 157 Gd (15.7%), 158 Gd (24.8%) and 160 Gd (21.9%). The most abundant isotope is 158 Gd at 24.8%.
