General description
Rubidium is a highly electropositive alkaline metal that can be obtained as a byproduct of refining lithium from lepidolite. It is used in photomultiplier tubes, laser cooling, atomic clock, photocell, nuclear medicine, and specialty glass.
Application
Rubidium can be used as a starting material to synthesize rubidium hydrazinidoborane (RbN2H3BH3).
It can also be used as a reducing agent to synthesize reduced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

High-quality, large-area epitaxial graphene can be grown on metal surfaces, but its transport properties cannot be exploited because the electrical conduction is dominated by the substrate. Here we insulate epitaxial graphene on Ru(0001) by a stepwise intercalation of silicon and

We demonstrate that bulk Rb-doped KTiOPO₄ (RKTP) shows improved susceptibility to gray-tracking compared to flux-grown KTiOPO₄ . We show high-fidelity periodic poling of 1 mm thick RKTP with a period of 3.18 µm for second harmonic generation at 398 nm
