· JVASP-145314· Ho2OsC2

Ho₂OsC₂ is a rare-earth ceramic compound combining holmium, osmium, and carbon, representing an experimental interstitial carbide in the refractory ceramics family. This material exists primarily in research contexts for high-temperature structural applications, where the combination of a rare-earth metal with osmium—one of the densest and most refractory elements—suggests potential for extreme-environment performance. The compound's notable density and presumed high melting point make it relevant to researchers exploring advanced ceramics for aerospace, nuclear, or ultra-high-temperature environments where conventional refractory carbides reach performance limits.
