ErU3 is an intermetallic ceramic compound containing erbium and uranium, belonging to the rare-earth–actinide ceramic family. This material is primarily of research and specialized nuclear applications interest, where its high density and thermal properties make it relevant for nuclear fuel forms, shielding materials, or high-temperature ceramics in the nuclear fuel cycle. Its use is limited to controlled nuclear and materials research environments due to the radioactive nature of uranium and the specialized handling requirements typical of actinide-bearing compounds.
