Nd₁Er₁Zn₂ is a rare-earth zinc intermetallic compound combining neodymium and erbium with zinc in a 1:1:2 stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material within the rare-earth alloy family, investigated primarily for its potential electromagnetic and optical properties arising from the lanthanide elements. Such ternary rare-earth zinc compounds are studied as candidates for specialized applications where the combined magnetic or photonic behavior of neodymium and erbium can be engineered through controlled composition and crystal structure.
