· Cd0.9Hg0.1Se1

Cd₀.₉Hg₀.₁Se is a cadmium-mercury-selenide ternary alloy belonging to the II-VI semiconductor family, representing a compositional variant of the mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) class of infrared detector materials. This mixed-metal chalcogenide compound is primarily explored in infrared sensing and photonic applications where tuning the bandgap through mercury-cadmium substitution enables detection across specific wavelength ranges. The material is notable for its ability to engineer the band structure for mid-infrared and long-wavelength infrared applications, though it remains largely in the research and specialized defense/aerospace domain rather than mainstream commercial production due to material toxicity concerns and manufacturing complexity.

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.
