Ba2 As1 Au1

Ba₂AsAu is an intermetallic semiconductor compound combining barium, arsenic, and gold in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material rather than an established commercial compound; it belongs to the family of ternary intermetallics and represents exploratory work in semiconductor physics and materials discovery. Potential applications lie in thermoelectric devices, novel semiconductor architectures, or quantum materials research, where the combination of heavy elements (Ba, Au) with a pnicogen (As) may produce interesting electronic band structures or phonon scattering properties; however, limited industrial adoption and high materials cost restrict it to specialized research contexts.
