InHoAu₂ is an intermetallic compound combining indium, holmium, and gold in a 1:1:2 stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the semiconductor/metallic intermetallic family. This is primarily a research-phase material studied for its potential electronic and magnetic properties arising from the combination of a rare-earth element (holmium) with noble metals. The material is not widely commercialized but represents exploration into rare-earth intermetallics for advanced applications where unusual electronic band structures or magnetic behavior may offer advantages over conventional semiconductors or alloys.
