Pb0.85Sn0.15Se is a lead-tin selenide alloy, a narrow-bandgap semiconductor belonging to the IV-VI chalcogenide family. This material system is primarily investigated for infrared detection and thermal imaging applications, where its composition balances the thermal stability and bandgap characteristics needed for operation in the mid- to long-wavelength infrared spectrum. Lead-tin selenides are notable alternatives to mercury-based compounds in IR detector technology due to their tunable bandgap through composition control and improved environmental compliance.
