Europium monoselenide is a binary inorganic compound of europium and selenium with the chemical formula EuSe.^[1] The compound forms black crystals.

Synthesis

Heating stoichiometric amounts of pure substances in a vacuum ampoule at 800 °C:^[2]

Eu + Se → EuSe

Heating of europium(II) oxalate with an excess of selenium in a hydrogen current:

EuC₂O₄ + Se + H₂ → EuSe + H₂O + CO₂ + CO

Physical properties

Europium monoselenide forms black (or brown) crystals of cubic syngony, spatial group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.6185 nm, Z = 4.^[3]^[4]

Ferromagnetic at curie temperature 7 K.
