· Mg2 In4 Se8

Mg₂In₄Se₈ is a ternary semiconductor compound combining magnesium, indium, and selenium in a layered crystal structure. This material belongs to the family of metal chalcogenides and is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications due to its tunable band gap and potential for direct band-gap semiconducting behavior. While not yet widely deployed in commercial production, compounds in this material class are being investigated as alternatives to conventional III-V semiconductors and as potential absorber materials in next-generation thin-film solar cells and photodetectors.
