Zn0.9Hg0.1Te1
semiconductor· Zn0.9Hg0.1Te1
Zn₀.₉Hg₀.₁Te is a narrow-bandgap semiconductor alloy within the II-VI compound family, created by substituting mercury into zinc telluride. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than mainstream production, valued for its tunable electronic properties in the infrared spectrum achieved through mercury alloying. Applications center on infrared detection and sensing at wavelengths where conventional semiconductors are ineffective, with potential in thermal imaging, spectroscopy, and space-based remote sensing systems.
