Ca2 Nd4 S8
semiconductor· Ca2 Nd4 S8
Ca₂Nd₄S₈ is a rare-earth sulfide semiconductor compound combining calcium, neodymium, and sulfur in a mixed-valence structure. This material belongs to the family of lanthanide chalcogenides and remains largely in the research phase, with potential applications in optoelectronic devices, photoluminescence, and solid-state lighting where rare-earth dopants are leveraged for tunable emission properties. The neodymium content makes this compound particularly interesting for near-infrared applications and as a candidate material for studying rare-earth-host lattice interactions in semiconductor systems.
