LuAu is an intermetallic compound composed of lutetium and gold, representing a rare-earth–noble-metal system that is primarily of research and specialized applications interest rather than commodity use. This material combines the chemical reactivity and electronic properties of lutetium with the corrosion resistance and density of gold, making it potentially valuable for high-performance applications requiring extreme conditions or precise electronic behavior. Because lutetium and gold are both scarce and costly elements, LuAu is typically explored in laboratory settings or niche applications where its unique properties justify the material cost and processing complexity.
