· Lu8 Zn4 S16

Lu8Zn4S16 is a ternary semiconductor compound combining lutetium, zinc, and sulfur in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth metal chalcogenides and is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than an established commercial material. The compound is investigated for potential applications in optoelectronic devices, solid-state lighting, and high-temperature semiconductor applications where the wide bandgap and rare-earth doping characteristics offer advantages in UV emission and thermal stability compared to conventional III-V semiconductors.
