· JVASP-142216· Yb5Ir3

Yb₅Ir₃ is an intermetallic ceramic compound combining ytterbium and iridium, representing a rare-earth/refractory metal system typically studied for high-temperature structural applications. This material belongs to the family of intermetallic ceramics that exhibit a combination of metallic and ceramic characteristics, making it relevant for extreme-environment engineering where conventional ceramics or metals prove insufficient. Research into Yb₅Ir₃ focuses on its potential as a structural material in aerospace and power generation sectors, where the high melting point, chemical stability, and intermediate mechanical properties of rare-earth iridides could enable operation at temperatures beyond superalloy capabilities.
