What is MERCURY (II) TELLURIDE?
Chemical properties
gray powder(s); used as a semiconductor in solar cells, in thin-film transistors and in infrared detectors [HAW93] [STR93]
The Uses of MERCURY (II) TELLURIDE
Semiconductor in solar cells, thin-film transistors, infrared detectors, ultrasonic amplifiers.
The Uses of MERCURY (II) TELLURIDE
Mercury cadmium telluride (MCT)is the mostim- portantmaterial currently in use for the manufacture of high performance infrared (IR) detectors. Mercury telluride and mercury telluride-cadmium telluride are semiconductors which have been investigated as intrinsic infrared detecting materials. Complete coverage of the low-loss fiber windows by mercury telluride quantum dot are used in colloidal nanocrystals for telecommunications.
