Sb1 Ce1

Sb₁Ce₁ is an intermetallic compound combining antimony and cerium, belonging to the rare-earth semiconductor family. This material is primarily of research interest for thermoelectric and electronic device applications, where rare-earth intermetallics are investigated for their potential to convert thermal energy to electricity or provide specialized semiconducting properties. The cerium-antimony system represents an emerging class of materials being explored for high-temperature thermoelectric generators and solid-state cooling devices, where the combination of rare-earth and chalcogenide-like chemistry offers unique electronic band structure characteristics.
