Application
Semiconductor field:
Making semiconductor devices: cadmium antimonide is an important semiconductor material, and its particles can be used to prepare a variety of semiconductor devices, such as infrared detectors, photodiodes and so on. The forbidden band width of cadmium antimonide is relatively narrow, which makes it highly sensitive to infrared radiation and has good performance in infrared detection.
Semiconductor dopant: It can be added as a dopant to other semiconductor materials to change their electrical properties. For example, in the growth process of some semiconductor crystals, the addition of an appropriate amount of cadmium antimonide particles can improve the electrical conductivity and photoelectric properties of the crystal.
Solar cell field: Cadmium antimonide particles can be used to prepare the absorber layer of solar cells. It has a suitable energy band structure, which can effectively absorb sunlight and convert light energy into electricity. Although cadmium antimonide-based solar cells are not yet widely used, they have certain potential in the field of research.
Scientific research field: as a special compound material, cadmium antimonide particles are widely used for basic research in materials science, chemistry and other scientific research fields. Researchers study the physical and chemical properties of cadmium antimonide to gain a deeper understanding of the properties of semiconductor materials and related physical phenomena.
Other fields: in some special optical applications, such as optical filters, optical modulators, etc., cadmium antimonide particles may also play a role, using its absorption or reflection properties of specific wavelengths of light to achieve optical signal processing.
