CsTe is a cesium telluride compound belonging to the class of binary chalcogenide ceramics. This material is primarily studied in research contexts for its potential in optoelectronic and radiation detection applications, where its bandgap and charge-transport properties are of interest. CsTe and related alkali tellurides are notable for their use in photomultiplier tube photocathodes and as potential materials for X-ray and gamma-ray detection systems, where high atomic number and efficient carrier generation are advantageous compared to conventional semiconductors.
