Tm₂B₄C₄ is a ternary ceramic compound combining thulium, boron, and carbon, belonging to the family of boron carbide-based ceramics and refractory materials. This is primarily a research-stage material studied for its potential in high-temperature structural applications, neutron absorption, and specialized optical or electronic functions where the rare-earth thulium constituent offers unique properties unavailable in simpler boron carbide systems.
