Pb0.96TeIn0.04 is a lead telluride (PbTe)-based semiconductor alloy doped with indium, belonging to the IV-VI narrow-bandgap semiconductor family. This material is primarily investigated for thermoelectric applications where it can convert waste heat into electrical power, and is notable for its potential in infrared detection and sensing at cryogenic temperatures; indium doping modifies the carrier concentration and band structure to optimize thermoelectric figure of merit or detection sensitivity compared to undoped PbTe.
