Chemical compound
Thulium monoselenide is a mixed valence[ 1] compound of selenium and thulium with the chemical formula TmSe.
Preparation
Thulium monoselenide can be prepared by directly reacting thulium and selenium:[ 2]
Tm + Se → TmSe
Properties
Thulium monoselenide forms reddish-brown cubic crystals,[ 2] space group Fm 3 m , unit cell parameters a = 0.5640 nm, Z = 4, and a structure similar to that of sodium chloride .[ 3] [ 4] [ 2]
The compound melts congruently at 2060 °C, and at 1100 °C and 1730 °C, phase transitions occur in the compound. The Néel temperature of thulium monoselenide is 1.85–2.8 K.[ 2]
