Sc4 Sb2

Sc4Sb2 is an intermetallic semiconductor compound composed of scandium and antimony, belonging to the family of rare-earth and post-transition metal semiconductors. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established in widespread industrial production, with potential applications in thermoelectric devices, optoelectronics, and high-temperature semiconductor applications where the combination of scandium's thermal properties and antimony's semiconducting behavior may offer advantages. Engineers would consider Sc4Sb2 for specialized applications requiring exploration of novel bandgap engineering or thermal management at elevated temperatures, though maturity and commercial availability remain limited compared to conventional semiconductor materials.
