AsTeN3

AsTeN3 is an experimental ceramic compound in the arsenic–tellurium–nitrogen family, representing an emerging class of chalcogenide-nitride materials being explored for semiconducting and optical applications. This material family is primarily of research interest for advanced electronics, photonics, and solid-state device development, where the combination of arsenic and tellurium with nitrogen offers potential for tunable band gaps and unique optical properties that differ from conventional oxide or carbide ceramics. AsTeN3 remains largely in the development phase; its practical adoption depends on establishing reproducible synthesis routes, thermal stability, and cost-effectiveness relative to established alternatives like gallium nitride or silicon carbide.
