Sm₂Mg₁ is an intermetallic compound combining samarium (a rare-earth element) with magnesium in a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the rare-earth magnesium intermetallic family, primarily explored in research and advanced development rather than established high-volume production. The compound is of interest for applications requiring combinations of lightweight behavior (from magnesium) and rare-earth functional properties, though industrial adoption remains limited pending cost reduction and property optimization relative to competing lightweight and magnetic materials.
