Erbium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of erbium and nitrogen with the chemical formula ErN. [1]

Contents

Physical properties

The compound forms black powder. Chemically, ErN is more reactive and easily degraded in the air. High humidity causes ErN to hydrolyze, forming Er(OH)3 and ammonia. [2]

ErN is known for its magnetic and optical properties. [3]

Uses

The compound may be incorporated into III-nitride semiconductors in order to create new functional materials for optoelectronic and spintronic devices. [4]
