Gd5Ge3 is an intermetallic ceramic compound based on gadolinium and germanium, belonging to the rare-earth intermetallic family. This material is primarily of research interest for magnetocaloric and magnetotransport applications, where it exhibits notable coupling between magnetic and structural properties—a characteristic that makes it particularly valuable for emerging magnetocaloric refrigeration systems and thermal management technologies as an alternative to conventional vapor-compression cooling.
