Ho6 Cu2 Si2 S14
metal· Ho6 Cu2 Si2 S14
Ho₆Cu₂Si₂S₁₄ is a quaternary sulfide compound combining rare-earth (holmium), transition metal (copper), and metalloid (silicon) elements in a layered crystal structure. This material is primarily of research and exploratory interest rather than established industrial production, belonging to the family of metal chalcogenides that are investigated for thermoelectric, optical, and electronic applications. The holmium-copper-silicon-sulfur system is notable for potential use in next-generation semiconductors and energy conversion devices where rare-earth containing materials can offer tunable electronic properties and thermal characteristics.
