Europium(III) oxide
Europium(III) oxide (Eu2O3), is a chemical compound of europium and oxygen. It is widely used as a red or blue phosphor in television sets and fluorescent lamps, and as an activator for yttrium-based phosphors. It is also an agent for the manufacture of fluorescent glass. Europium fluorescence is used in the anti-counterfeiting phosphors in Euro banknotes.[2]

Europium oxide has two common structures: Monoclinic (mS30, SpaceGroup = C2/m, No. 12) and cubic (cI80, SpaceGroup = Ia-3, No. 206). The cubic structure is similar to that of manganese(III) oxide.
It may be formed by ignition of europium metal.
It can react with acids to form the corresponding europium(III) salts.

gollark: Obviously you can use new innovations like ultrahyperbases, but there are finitely many of those.
gollark: Or they just get submerged in it and adding more isn't useful.
gollark: I mean, you can make the world worse by covering everything in ultrahyperacid, but you can only add so much ultrahyperacid to constantly dissolve everyone's skin before they get used to it.
gollark: I agree. There are probably diminishing returns on hellness, thus problems.
gollark: The e-ink Kindles run some accursed Linux distro where ALL is browser.
