Calcium iodide (CaI₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound consisting of calcium and iodine. It belongs to the halide ceramic family and is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a mainstream engineering material. Applications are limited to niche sectors including scintillation detection systems, medical imaging (as a dopant or contrast agent precursor), and advanced optical or photonic research where iodine-containing ceramics offer unique light-interaction properties.
