Cd4 B6 O13
semiconductor· Cd4 B6 O13
Cd₄B₆O₁₃ is a cadmium borate ceramic compound belonging to the family of metal borate semiconductors. This material exists primarily in research and specialized contexts rather than mainstream industrial production, and represents the broader class of wide-bandgap semiconductors being investigated for optoelectronic and photonic applications. The cadmium borate family is of interest in materials research for potential use in ultraviolet detection, nonlinear optical devices, and radiation-hardened electronics, though practical deployment remains limited due to cadmium toxicity concerns and the maturity of competing materials like gallium nitride and silicon carbide.
