· Hg3 Te3

Mercury telluride (HgTe) is a narrow-bandgap semiconductor compound from the II-VI material family, notable for its tunable electronic properties and high carrier mobility. It is primarily investigated for infrared detection and sensing applications, including thermal imaging and spectroscopy systems where its narrow bandgap enables sensitivity across the mid- to far-infrared spectrum. HgTe-based materials, particularly in heterostructure configurations (such as HgTe/CdTe), are also of significant research interest as topological insulators and quantum well systems for next-generation electronic and photonic devices.

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.
