Mercury Cadmium Telluride | HgxCd1-xTe | CAS 29870-72-2

Mercury Cadmium Telluride (also cadmium mercury telluride, MCT, MerCad Telluride, MerCadTel, MerCaT, or CMT) is a chemical compound of cadmium telluride (CdTe) and mercury telluride (HgTe) with a tunable bandgap spanning the shortwave infrared to the very long wave infrared regions. It can be ‘tuned’ to the desired IR wavelength by varying the cadmium concentration. Heeger Materials offers a selection of over 100 high-purity products, including metals, metal oxides, and metal salts, with 99.999% purity or higher.

Applications:

• MCT is used in the production of high-performance infrared cameras and imaging systems.
• MCT-based detectors are employed in night vision devices like goggles, scopes, and cameras.
• MCT sensors play a crucial role in the detection of airborne threats, including missiles, aircraft, and drones.
• MCT detectors are utilized in remote sensing applications for environmental monitoring, geological surveys, and atmospheric studies.
• MCT-based infrared cameras are used in medical imaging for diagnostic purposes.

Packing:

Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) is carefully packaged in carton boxes with foam protection to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition. The vacuum packing is 1kg/bag, 25kg/barrel, or based on specific requirements.
