Lutetium Silicide Powder Description
Lutetium Silicide Powder LuSi2 is an intermetallic compound made from lutetium (Lu), a rare-earth element, and silicon (Si). As with other rare-earth silicides, it exhibits a unique blend of metallic conductivity, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, making it an attractive material for specialized microelectronics, optoelectronics, and magnetic applications. While lutetium-based materials are less common due to the rarity and cost of lutetium, LuSi₂ powder holds promise for research in high-performance and niche applications.
