Gd₂Zn₁₇ is an intermetallic compound composed of gadolinium and zinc, belonging to the rare-earth zinc family of ceramic and metallic materials. This compound is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, studied for applications requiring magnetic properties (gadolinium's ferromagnetic character) combined with the relatively low density of zinc. Its use remains largely confined to advanced functional material applications and academic research rather than high-volume engineering, making it notable for niche applications where rare-earth magnetic effects and thermal stability are design drivers.
