Cd₀.₇Hg₀.₃Se is a cadmium-mercury-selenium ternary alloy semiconductor, a mixed-cation chalcogenide compound engineered for infrared optoelectronic applications. This material belongs to the II-VI semiconductor family and is primarily used in infrared detectors and thermal imaging systems where its bandgap engineering enables sensitivity in the mid- to long-wave infrared region. Its tunable composition allows tailoring of bandgap and lattice matching to specific detector requirements, making it valuable for applications requiring extended spectral response that standard single-element semiconductors cannot achieve.
