Ho₂Zn₂In₂ is an intermetallic compound combining holmium (a rare-earth element), zinc, and indium in a 1:1:1 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth intermetallics and is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, with potential applications in magnetic, thermoelectric, or optoelectronic device development. The incorporation of holmium—known for strong magnetic properties—alongside semiconducting elements (indium, zinc) suggests investigation for specialized functional applications where magnetic and electronic properties must be combined.
