Discover Europium (Eu) – A versatile lanthanide

Symbol: Eu
Atomic Number: 63
Atomic Mass: 151 964
Element Category: Lanthanide

Europium is a ductile and silvery metal from the lanthanide group of rare earth elements. It exhibits a high level of reactivity compared with other rare earths and is used in various high-technology applications.

Distinctive Properties of Europium

Europium absorbs neutrons efficiently; consequently, it is used in nuclear technology. In addition, it improves the laser properties of plastics utilised in modern laser systems.

In its compounds, Europium displays defined optical characteristics. For instance, Europium oxide (Eu₂O₃) is frequently used as a red phosphor in televisions, fluorescent lamps and as an activator in yttrium-based phosphors, thereby producing red colours.
