Ho8Au4 is an intermetallic compound combining holmium (a rare-earth element) with gold, forming a definite stoichiometric phase rather than a solid solution alloy. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth–noble-metal intermetallics, which are primarily of research interest for their unique electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties; it is not a commodity engineering material in widespread industrial use.
