· JVASP-12325· Nd2ScSi2

Nd2ScSi2 is a rare-earth intermetallic ceramic compound combining neodymium, scandium, and silicon in a defined stoichiometric structure. This material is primarily investigated in research settings as a candidate for high-temperature structural applications and potential magnetostructural applications, leveraging the magnetic properties of neodymium combined with the refractory characteristics of scandium silicates. While not yet widely deployed in production, materials in this family are of interest for advanced aerospace components, magnetocaloric devices, and high-temperature oxidation-resistant coatings where rare-earth intermetallics offer thermal stability and unique property combinations unavailable in conventional ceramics.
