What is ZINC TELLURIDE?

Chemical properties

Reddish crystals. Decomposes in water. Single crystals available for phosphors.

The Uses of ZINC TELLURIDE

Zinc telluride can be easily doped, and for this reason it is one of the more common semiconducting materials used in optoelectronics. ZnTe is important for development of various semiconductor devices, including blue LEDs, laser diodes, solar cells, and components of microwave generators. It can be used for solar cells, for example, as a back-surface field layer and p-type semiconductor material for a CdTe/ZnTe structure[6] or in PIN diode structures. The material can also be used as a component of ternary semiconductor compounds.Zinc telluride together with lithium niobate is often used for generation of pulsed terahertz radiation in time-domain terahertz spectroscopy and terahertz imaging.

The Uses of ZINC TELLURIDE

In semiconductor research, as photoconductor.
