Ba2 Sb1 Au1
semiconductor· Ba2 Sb1 Au1
Ba₂SbAu is an intermetallic compound semiconductor combining barium, antimony, and gold in a defined stoichiometric ratio. This is a research-phase material studied for potential thermoelectric and optoelectronic applications, representing the broader class of ternary intermetallics that can exhibit band-gap engineering and phonon-scattering properties useful in energy conversion and sensing. While not yet commercialized at scale, materials in this family are investigated for their ability to decouple electrical and thermal transport—a key advantage over conventional semiconductors for waste-heat recovery and high-efficiency power generation.
