Bulk properties
Neodymium is a rare-earth metal with a density similar to zinc. It has a boiling point of 3074 °C

Neodymium was present in the classical mischmetal at a concentration of about 18%. To make neodymium magnets it is alloyed with iron, which is a ferromagnet. Metallic neodymium has a bright, silvery metallic luster.

Atomic stucture
Neodymium commonly exists in two allotropic forms, with a transformation from a double hexagonal to a body-centered cubic structure taking place at about 863 °C.

Magnetism & more
Neodymium, like most of the lanthanides, is paramagnetic at room temperature and becomes an antiferromagnet upon cooling to 20 K.
