Lu4 B16
semiconductor· Lu4 B16
Lu4B16 is a rare-earth boride ceramic compound combining lutetium and boron in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of hexaborides and higher borides, which are ceramic phases known for high hardness and thermal stability. Lu4B16 is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than an established commercial material; it is investigated for potential applications in high-temperature structural ceramics, wear-resistant coatings, and electronic/thermionic devices where the combination of rare-earth and boron chemistry may offer unique properties.
