Dielectric properties of EuF2

Dielectric constant (?) and loss (tan δ) of EuF₂ have been measured for the first time as a function of frequency in the temperature range from liquid nitrogen to 300°C. The data has been used to obtain the values of conductivity (σ). The conductivity values are frequency independent in the high temperature region and yield 1.05 eV for the activation energy for conduction.
