Europium Metal

Catalog Number
ACM7440531-7
CAS
7440-53-1
Description
Europium is a silvery-white rare earth belonging to the lanthanide group. The metal's hardness is comparable to that of lead and it is very ductile. Europium, the most reactive of the rare earth metals, quickly oxidizes in air and resembles calcium in its reactions with water.. 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.
