CaAuOFN

CaAuOFN is an experimental mixed-anion ceramic compound containing calcium, gold, oxygen, fluorine, and nitrogen—a composition that places it at the intersection of oxyfluoride and oxynitride ceramic chemistry. This material is primarily a research compound rather than an established industrial ceramic; it represents exploratory work in the synthesis of multifunctional ceramics that combine rare elements (gold) with common stabilizing anions to achieve novel property combinations. The incorporation of gold into a ceramic matrix is unconventional and suggests potential applications in optics, catalysis, or electronic materials where metallic conductivity or plasmonic properties might be leveraged alongside ceramic thermal or chemical stability.
