· Hg3

Hg3 is a mercury-based compound semiconductor whose exact composition and crystal structure are not fully specified in standard references, placing it within experimental or emerging materials research. Mercury-containing semiconductors are investigated for specialized optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications where their narrow bandgaps and high carrier mobility offer potential advantages in infrared detection and narrow-spectrum light emission. While mercury compounds have historical use in certain detector and switching applications, modern development of such materials is limited due to toxicity concerns and the availability of more benign alternatives; Hg3 would primarily be of interest to researchers exploring unconventional semiconductor physics rather than mainstream commercial manufacturing.

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.
