Thulium monoselenide is a mixed valence[1] compound of selenium and thulium with the chemical formula TmSe.

Preparation

Thulium monoselenide can be prepared by directly reacting thulium and selenium:[2]

Tm + Se → TmSe

Properties

Thulium monoselenide forms reddish-brown cubic crystals,[2] space group Fm3m, unit cell parameters a = 0.5640 nm, Z = 4, and a structure similar to that of sodium chloride.[3][4][2]

The compound melts congruently at 2060 °C, and at 1100 °C and 1730 °C, phase transitions occur in the compound. The

Néel temperature of thulium monoselenide is 1.85–2.8 K.[2]
