· JVASP-53166· CaIn2Te4

CaIn₂Te₄ is a quaternary chalcogenide ceramic compound belonging to the family of semiconducting ceramics with potential photoelectric and optoelectronic properties. This material is primarily of research and development interest rather than an established industrial ceramic, investigated for its electronic band structure and potential applications in photovoltaic or infrared sensing systems. Its relatively high density and mixed-valence cation composition (calcium and indium) position it within the broader class of complex semiconducting ceramics being explored for next-generation energy conversion and detection technologies.
