Sm4 Mg3 Co2

Sm₄Mg₃Co₂ is an intermetallic compound combining samarium (a rare earth element), magnesium, and cobalt. This material belongs to the rare-earth intermetallic family and is primarily a research compound rather than a widely commercialized engineering material. The samarium-magnesium-cobalt system is of interest in materials science for potential applications in permanent magnets, high-temperature structural materials, and functional alloys, leveraging the magnetic and thermal properties of rare earth elements combined with lighter metallic elements.
