Sm₃Pu is a rare-earth–actinide intermetallic ceramic compound combining samarium and plutonium. This material is primarily a research compound studied in nuclear materials science and materials chemistry, where it serves as a model system for understanding phase stability, crystal structure, and thermophysical behavior in actinide-bearing ceramics. Its development is driven by fundamental interest in nuclear fuel forms, transmutation targets, and the chemical behavior of lanthanide–actinide systems under extreme conditions.
