GdB66 is a rare-earth boride ceramic compound combining gadolinium with boron in a specific stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the boride family of advanced ceramics. This material is primarily of research and development interest for high-temperature structural applications and neutron absorption scenarios, where its rare-earth content and ceramic stability offer potential advantages over conventional refractories and boron carbides. The gadolinium-boron system is explored for specialized nuclear, aerospace, and extreme-environment applications where thermal stability and neutron cross-section characteristics are critical design factors.
