Lower Oxides of Samarium and Europium. The Preparation and Crystal Structure of SmO_0.4-0.6, SmO and EuO¹

Europium doped zinc sulfide: a correlation between experimental and theoretical calculations

“…For europium atoms, it is convenient to avoid core electrons, and adopt the well-assessed effective core pseudopotential (ECP) techniques [36,37]. The large-core ECP basis, ECP52MWB [38,39] (http://www.theochem.unistuttgart.de/pseudopotentials) has been chosen to represent the Eu 3+ in this work. To the best of our knowledge this basis set is the only pseudopotential available and there is no allelectron basis set available to be used in the CRYSTAL program.…”

Structural, magnetic and electrical properties of a perovskite containing divalent europium EuZrO3

“…In 1953, Brauer [15] discovered EuO in solid solution with SrO. Few years later, EuO was prepared by reduction of Eu 2 O 3 by lanthanum or carbon [16,17]. We prepared the monoxide EuO, according the following reaction:…”

Effect of film thickness and biaxial strain on the curie temperature of EuO

“…Europium oxide (EuO) has a rocksalt structure (a ¼ 5.144) 1 with Eu 2þ cations whose half-filled 4f orbital is responsible for a large ferromagnetic response below its Curie temperature (T C ) of 69 K. 2 This pronounced ferromagnetism induces a metal-to-insulator transition spanning up to 13 orders of magnitude in resistivity 3 and spin-polarization of 96%, 4 as a result of conduction band splitting by 0.6 eV. 5,6 This makes EuO exceptional and of interest for spintronic applications.…”
