· ZnSb

ZnSb is a III-V intermetallic semiconductor compound composed of zinc and antimony, belonging to the family of binary semiconductors with zinc-blende crystal structure. It is primarily investigated in research contexts for thermoelectric applications and infrared optoelectronics, where its narrow bandgap and thermal properties make it a candidate material for mid-infrared detectors and solid-state cooling devices. ZnSb remains largely experimental compared to more mature semiconductors like GaAs or InSb, but represents a cost-effective alternative in niche applications where moderate performance requirements and lower material expense justify its use over premium III-V compounds.
