Europium is a rare earth metal from the lanthanide group. It is a soft heavy metal with a high technical significance for the production of phosphors. The element is paramagnetic, but at very low temperatures it exhibits antiferromagnetism. In dry air, the metal is quickly oxidized. In humid air it becomes coated with a yellow hydroxide layer. It dissolves in water to form hydrogen. Europium also reacts with most non-metals.

The main field of application of europium is the production of phosphors. It is used here as a doping agent. In addition, the element is used for application to the glass in mercury vapor lamps (high-pressure lamps). This makes the light white and more natural. As europium is a good neutron scavenger, it is also used as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors.
