· Cd0.99Hg0.01Se1

Cd0.99Hg0.01Se is a cadmium selenide-based semiconductor alloy with trace mercury doping, belonging to the II-VI direct bandgap semiconductor family. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for infrared (IR) optoelectronic devices and radiation detection applications, where the mercury incorporation can fine-tune bandgap energy and carrier dynamics compared to undoped CdSe. The cadmium-mercury-selenide system is notable for tunable performance in the infrared spectrum, making it relevant where wavelength-selective detection or emission in specific IR windows is required, though commercial deployment remains limited compared to more established alternatives like HgCdTe.

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.
