Uses
Europium Fluoride is used as a phosphor activator for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor. Several commercial blue phosphors are based on Europium for color TV, computer screens and fluorescent lamps. Europium fluorescence is used to interrogate biomolecular interactions in drug-discovery screens. It is also used in the anti-counterfeiting phosphors in eurobanknotes.
Chemical Properties
white powder(s) or 99.9% pure melted pieces of 3–6mm; hygroscopic; pieces used as evaporation material for possible applications in multilayers [STR93] [CER91]
Uses
Used in the preparation of novel mixed-metal fluorides and in studies on fluoride glasses.
Uses
Europium(III) fluoride is used as a catalyst in the preparation of novel mixed-metal fluorides. It finds application in studies related to fluoride glasses. It is also used as a laboratory reagent. Further, it is used in optical glasses and ceramics.
