CdXe is a cadmium xenon compound ceramic, a binary semiconductor material from the II-VI compound family. It is primarily investigated in research contexts for high-energy radiation detection and photonic applications, where its wide bandgap and high atomic number make it potentially useful for detecting gamma rays and X-rays in specialized instrumentation. While not widely deployed in mainstream engineering, CdXe and related cadmium chalcogenide compounds are of academic and industrial interest for advanced sensor and scintillation detector development.
