In12 Ru4

In₁₂Ru₄ is an intermetallic compound combining indium and ruthenium in a fixed stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the class of advanced intermetallic semiconductors. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest, particularly in the context of thermoelectric applications and high-temperature electronic devices where the combination of a noble metal (ruthenium) with a semi-metallic element (indium) can provide unique electronic and thermal transport properties. Engineers would consider In₁₂Ru₄ for specialized applications requiring materials with tailored band structure, potential thermal stability advantages over conventional semiconductors, or as a candidate phase in intermetallic-based thermoelectric or optoelectronic systems.
