Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Europium hydride is the most common

ferromagnetic semiconductor.[5]

Production

Europium hydride can be produced by directly reacting

hydrogen gas:[4]

Eu + H2 → EuH2

Uses

EuH2 can be used as a source of Eu2+ to create

metal-organic frameworks that have the Eu2+ ion.[2]
