Niobium is roughly 10 times more abundant in the crust of the Earth than is tantalum. Niobium, more plentiful than lead and less abundant than copper in the Earth's crust, occurs dispersed except for relatively few minerals. Of these minerals, the columbite–tantalite series, in which columbite (FeNb 2 O 6) and tantalite (FeTa 2 O 6) …

View Report. Niobium and tantalum are transition metals that are almost always found together in nature because they have very similar physical and chemical properties. Their properties of hardness, conductivity, and resistance to corrosion largely determine their primary uses today.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the science, technology, and applications of Tantalum and Niobium-based capacitors. The author discusses fundamentals, focusing on thermodynamic stability, major degradation processes and conduction mechanisms in the basic structure of Me-Me2O5-cathode (Me: Ta, Nb).

Ligand exchange reactions of the type given in eqn. (1) with niobium (V) and tantalum (V) chlorides or bromides and a range of ligands, have been studied at high pressure using Fourier Transform *H NMR spectroscopy. From these studies, the volume of activation has been shown to be negative when the ligand (L) is MeaS, MeaSe or MezTe.
