Sm2RuAu

Sm₂RuAu is an intermetallic compound combining samarium (a rare earth element) with ruthenium and gold, belonging to the family of rare earth-based metallic compounds. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established industrial production, investigated for potential applications in advanced functional materials where the combination of rare earth magnetism and noble metal properties could provide unique electronic or magnetic characteristics. Engineers would consider this material in specialized contexts such as magnetic devices, catalysis research, or high-performance electronic applications where the rare earth-noble metal synergy offers advantages over conventional alternatives, though its scarcity, cost, and limited processing knowledge currently restrict broader adoption.
