Europium Chloride

Product Detail

Brief information Formula: EuCl3.6H2O CAS No.: 13759-92-7 Molecular Weight: 366.32 Density: 4.89 g/cm3 Melting point: 50 °C Appearance: White crystalline Solubility: Soluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Stability: Slightly hygroscopic Multilingual: EuropiumChlorid, Chlorure De Europium, Cloruro De Europio Application rare earth Europium Chlorideis used as a raw material of phosphors for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor. Europium Chloride is also applied in speciality laser glass. In energy efficient fluorescent lighting, Europium provides not only the necessary red, but also the blue. Several commercial blue phosphors are based on Europium for color TV, computer screens and fluorescent lamps. A recent (2015) application of Europium is in quantum memory chips which can reliably store information for days at a time; these could allow sensitive quantum data to be stored to a hard disk-like device and shipped around the country.
