Cd4 B4 O10
semiconductor· Cd4 B4 O10
Cadmium tetraborate (Cd₄B₄O₁₀) is an inorganic compound belonging to the borate semiconductor family, combining cadmium oxide with boric oxide in a crystalline structure. This material is primarily investigated in research and specialty applications for its optical and electronic properties, particularly in contexts requiring wide bandgap semiconductors or scintillator materials. While not a commodity engineering material, cadmium borates are studied for potential use in radiation detection, nonlinear optics, and niche electronic applications where cadmium-containing compounds offer performance advantages despite environmental and regulatory constraints on cadmium use.
