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]
