(Discontinued) HO6190 Holmium Silicide Powder (HoSi2)

Holmiumsilicide Powder Description

Holmiumsilicide Powder HoSi2 is an intermetallic compound composed of the rare earth element Holmium (Ho) and Silicon (Si). It belongs to the class of rare earth silicides, which exhibit unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. Holmium silicide is of interest for specific applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and magnetic materials due to its combination of conductivity, stability, and magnetic behaviour.

Holmium silicide combines the electrical and magnetic properties of Holmium with the stability and processing advantages of Silicon. Although less prevalent than other silicides (such as Molybdenum or Tungsten silicide), its unique magnetic and thermal properties make it promising for niche applications in advanced electronics, magnetic sensors, and high-performance coatings.
