CdHg2 is a compound ceramic material in the cadmium-mercury family, representing an intermetallic or solid-solution phase used primarily in specialized electronic and optoelectronic applications. This material is notable in semiconductor research and detector technology due to its high atomic density and the combined electronic properties of cadmium and mercury, offering tunable bandgap characteristics for infrared sensing and radiation detection. While not as widely deployed as conventional ceramics, CdHg2 is valued in research and niche industrial settings where its unique electrical and optical properties provide advantages over single-element or more conventional alloy alternatives.
