Dysprosium(III) telluride is an inorganic compound, one of the tellurides of dysprosium, with the chemical formula Dy2Te3, where Dy is in the +3 oxidation state.
Preparation
Dysprosium(III) telluride can be obtained by reacting tellurium and dysprosium in a stoichiometric ratio:
Properties
Dysprosium(III) telluride reacts with copper(II) telluride at high temperature to obtain phases such as DyCuTe2, DyCu5Te4, and Dy7Cu3Te12. It and cadmium telluride can form CdDy2Te4 at high temperatures:Agaev, A. B.; Kulieva, U. A. Study of the cadmium telluride-dysprosium telluride system.
