· Ge40.0Te5.3I8

Ge40.0Te5.3I8 is a chalcogenide glass—a non-crystalline semiconductor compound combining germanium, tellurium, and iodine—belonging to the Ge-Te-I family of materials. This composition is primarily explored in research contexts for infrared (IR) optics and photonic applications, where its transparency in the mid- to long-wave infrared region and amorphous structure offer advantages over crystalline alternatives. The iodine doping modifies the electronic and optical properties compared to binary Ge-Te glasses, making it notable for potential use in thermal imaging components, fiber optics, and integrated photonic devices where conventional glass is opaque.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
