Au51Sm14

Au51Sm14 is an intermetallic compound in the gold-samarium system, representing a rare-earth metallic phase rather than a conventional alloy. This material belongs to the family of gold-based intermetallics and is primarily encountered in materials research rather than established industrial production, where it is studied for its thermal, electronic, and potential catalytic properties. The Au-Sm system is of interest in advanced metallurgy and materials discovery, particularly for applications requiring controlled phase behavior or novel functional properties that emerge from the specific atomic ordering of gold and lanthanide elements.
