Stanford Materials Corporation (SMC) is an ideal platform for manufacturing high-purity Europium metal (Eu metal). Our europium metal is available in form of discs, plates, etc. We also offer tailor-made solutions.
Europium is the most reactive element of all rare-earth elements. It oxidizes quickly when exposed to air. Thus it is usually sealed in oil or processed into granules right after the purification process. Europium Metal is a very valuable material in control rods for nuclear reactors due to that it can absorb more neutrons than any other element. It is a dopant in some types of glass in lasers and other optoelectronic devices. Europium is also used in the manufacture of fluorescent glass.

Europium Metal Applications
Europium is mainly used as a dopant in some types of glass in lasers and other optoelectronic devices. Europium oxide (Eu2O3), an important compound of Europium, is widely used as a red phosphor in television sets and fluorescent lamps, and as an activator for yttrium-based phosphors.
Europium Metal Packaging
Our europium metal products are clearly tagged and labeled externally to ensure efficient identification and quality control. Great care is taken to avoid any damage which might be caused during storage or transportation.
