Ho1 Au1

Ho1Au1 is an intermetallic compound combining holmium (a rare-earth element) and gold in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio, classified as a semiconductor material. This compound represents a research-phase material in the rare-earth/noble-metal intermetallic family, investigated for its potential electronic and magnetic properties arising from the combination of lanthanide and precious-metal constituents. While not yet established in mainstream engineering applications, such materials are of interest in specialized fields where the unique electronic structure and rare-earth contributions could enable novel device functionality.
