· Cd0.6Hg0.4Se1

Cd₀.₆Hg₀.₄Se is a cadmium-mercury selenide mixed crystal semiconductor belonging to the II-VI compound family, engineered by alloying cadmium selenide with mercury selenide to tune the bandgap for infrared applications. This material is primarily used in infrared detectors and photovoltaic devices operating in the mid-to-long wavelength infrared spectrum, where its adjustable energy gap offers advantages over single-component alternatives for thermal imaging and spectroscopy. The mercury content modulates the electronic properties relative to pure CdSe, making it valuable for specialized defense, medical thermal imaging, and industrial process monitoring systems where sensitivity to specific infrared wavelengths is critical.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
