ScGeAu is an experimental ternary intermetallic compound combining scandium, germanium, and gold. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth and precious-metal intermetallics, primarily of interest in advanced materials research rather than established industrial production. Potential applications center on high-performance structural or functional materials where the combination of light scandium, semiconducting germanium, and noble-metal gold properties might offer unique stiffness-to-weight ratios, thermal stability, or specialized electronic behavior; however, cost, scarcity of scandium, and limited processing knowledge currently restrict real-world deployment.
