Te₂Au₁ is an intermetallic semiconductor compound combining tellurium and gold in a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of metal-telluride semiconductors, which are primarily investigated in research contexts for thermoelectric and optoelectronic applications. Te-Au compounds are notable for their potential in high-temperature power generation and solid-state cooling devices, where the combination of metallic gold and semiconducting tellurium creates favorable electronic transport properties compared to conventional binary semiconductors.
