· JVASP-16629· Lu8Te

Lu8Te is a rare-earth telluride ceramic compound combining lutetium (the heaviest stable rare-earth element) with tellurium in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-grade material with limited commercial production; it belongs to the rare-earth chalcogenide family, which is investigated primarily for its electronic, thermal, and optical properties at the intersection of materials science and solid-state physics.
