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

Physical properties

The compound forms black powder. Chemically, ErN is more reactive and easily oxidized 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 inorder to create new functional materials for optoelectronic and spintronic devices.[4]
