InSb
InSb, or indium antimonide, is a semiconductor material composed of indium and antimony. It is known for its narrow bandgap, which allows it to be sensitive to infrared radiation. This property makes InSb particularly useful in applications such as infrared detectors and thermal imaging systems.
Due to its high electron mobility, InSb is also employed in high-speed electronic devices. It is often used in research and development for various technologies, including quantum computing and optoelectronics. Its unique characteristics make it a valuable material in both scientific and industrial fields.
