Holmium phosphide is a binary inorganic compound of holmium and phosphorus with the chemical formula HoP.^[1]^[2]^[3] The compound forms dark crystals and does not dissolve in water.^{[citation needed]}

Synthesis

Heating powdered holmium and red phosphorus in an inert atmosphere or vacuum:

4Ho + P
4 → 4HoP

Properties

Holmium phosphide forms dark crystals of a cubic system, stable in air, does not dissolve in water.^{[citation needed]}

HoP belongs to the large class of NaCl-structured rare earth monopnictides.^[4]

Ferromagnetic at low temperatures.^[5]^[6]

HoP actively reacts with nitric acid.^{[citation needed]}

Uses

The compound is a semiconductor used in high power, high frequency applications and in laser diodes.^[3]
