HoRh2

HoRh₂ is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining holmium (a rare-earth element) with rhodium in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth intermetallics, which are typically studied for their unique combinations of mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electromagnetic properties at elevated temperatures. HoRh₂ and related rare-earth rhodium compounds are primarily of research and advanced materials interest rather than high-volume industrial use, with potential applications in high-temperature structural components, thermal barriers, and specialized magnetic or electronic devices where rare-earth chemistry offers performance advantages unavailable in conventional ceramics or superalloys.
