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. Applications: Europium Nitrate, newly developed materials, mainly used as a phosphor activator in the red phosphor in color TV tubes and Europium-activated Yttrium vanadate; Europium-doped plastic is a laser material. It is a dopant in some types of glass in lasers and other optoelectronic devices. It is also used in the manufacture of fluorescent glass. Solubility: Soluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Molecular Formula: Eu(NO3)3.6H2O Alfa Chemistry Materials product group: Metal Manufacturer data sheet |
