Terbium(III) oxide, also known as terbium sesquioxide, is a sesquioxide of the rare earth metal terbium, having chemical formula Tb
2O
3. It is a p-type semiconductor when doped with calcium,[3] and may be prepared by the reduction of Tb
4O
7 in hydrogen at 1300 °C for 24 hours.[4]
Tb4O7+H2->2 Tb2O3+H2O
It is a p-type semiconductor.[5]
It is a basic oxide and easily dissolved to dilute acids, and then almost colourless terbium salt is formed.
- Tb2O3 + 6 H+ → 2 Tb3+ + 3 H2O
The crystal structure is cubic and the lattice constant is a = 1057 pm.[6]
