Pb0.87Sn0.13Se is a narrow-bandgap IV-VI semiconductor alloy combining lead selenide with tin, engineered to tune electronic and optical properties for infrared detection and thermal imaging applications. This material belongs to the lead chalcogenide family and is primarily used in specialized optoelectronic devices where sensitivity to mid- and long-wavelength infrared radiation is required; it offers improved thermal stability and bandgap tunability compared to pure PbSe, making it valuable for demanding sensing environments in defense, thermal monitoring, and scientific instrumentation.
