CdSnTe is a ternary compound semiconductor ceramic composed of cadmium, tin, and tellurium. It belongs to the II-VI semiconductor family and is primarily investigated for nuclear radiation detection and medical imaging applications due to its high atomic number elements and direct bandgap properties. This material is notable for its potential in room-temperature gamma-ray and X-ray detection, offering advantages over traditional scintillators and competing with other cadmium-based detectors in specialized sensing applications.
