Terbium(III) oxide

Terbium oxide, also known as terbium sesquioxide, is a sesquioxide of the rare earth metal terbium, having chemical formula. It is a p-type semiconductor, which conducts protons, which is enhanced when doped with calcium. It may be prepared by the reduction of Terbium oxide| in hydrogen at 1300 °C for 24 hours.
It is a basic oxide and easily dissolved to dilute acids, and then almost colourless terbium salt is formed.
The crystal structure is cubic and the lattice constant is a = 1057 pm.
