HoBr₃ (holmium tribromide) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth halide family, composed of the lanthanide element holmium combined with bromine. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering ceramic, with applications leveraging holmium's unique optical and magnetic properties in controlled chemical environments. It appears in advanced optics, laser systems, and magnetic applications where rare-earth halides offer advantages in transparency, thermal stability, or magnetism that conventional oxides cannot match.
