ErSb is an intermetallic ceramic compound composed of erbium and antimony, belonging to the rare-earth pnictide family of materials. This compound is primarily of research and academic interest, investigated for potential applications in high-temperature semiconductors, thermoelectric devices, and specialized optical materials that leverage rare-earth elements' unique electronic and photonic properties. ErSb remains largely experimental; its practical industrial adoption is limited compared to more established rare-earth ceramics, making it most relevant to materials researchers and engineers exploring next-generation functional ceramics in niche high-performance contexts.
