I am doing some research into current uses of Scandium 
and Osmium 187.  Does anyone have information on
how these substances are used in industry and
manufacturing?  I am especially interested in
identifying end-users.

Thanks for your help.

I am also extremely interesting uses of Sc in particular.

I have seen some evidence that even small amounts of Sc as an alloying
agent can produce very marked changes in crystal structures and
performance characteristics.

I also have seen that Sc2O3 is being used in CRT's.

More information is desired!

One use is in electron tubess. The cathodes are either coated with the
these materials or they are formed into a matrix with other metals. The
primary function in these applications is to reduce the work function of
the surface of the cathode so that more electrons are emitted for a given
operating temperature
