UPt

UPt is an intermetallic compound combining uranium and platinum, belonging to the class of heavy-fermion materials studied primarily in condensed-matter physics and materials research. This is an experimental/research material rather than a commercial engineering alloy, notable for its exotic electronic properties including unconventional superconductivity at cryogenic temperatures and strongly correlated electron behavior. UPt compounds are of scientific interest for fundamental physics studies and potential low-temperature applications, but practical engineering use remains limited to specialized research environments due to rarity, cost, radioactivity considerations, and extreme operational constraints.
