Au51Nd14

Au51Nd14 is a rare-earth intermetallic compound combining gold with neodymium in a fixed stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the class of gold-rare-earth binary systems. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than established industrial production; such compounds are studied for potential applications in permanent magnets, magnetostrictive devices, and high-temperature structural materials where the combination of gold's stability and neodymium's magnetic properties may offer advantages. Engineers would consider this material only in specialized applications requiring magnetic functionality at elevated temperatures or in corrosion-resistant environments where conventional rare-earth alloys are inadequate.
