· JVASP-19718· NdSe

Neodymium selenide (NdSe) is a rare-earth ceramic compound belonging to the rocksalt-structure family of lanthanide chalcogenides. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for its potential in optoelectronic and photonic applications, particularly where rare-earth luminescence or semiconductor properties are needed. While not yet widely deployed in mainstream industrial production, NdSe and related rare-earth selenides are of interest in next-generation infrared emitters, scintillation detectors, and advanced solid-state laser host materials due to the unique electronic properties of neodymium.
