Encyclopedia > Aluminium antimonide

Aluminum antimonide/Aluminium antimonide (AlSb) is a semiconductor material of the III-V family containing aluminum and antimony. It has a CAS number 25152-52-7. The lattice constant is 0.61 nm. The molecular weight is 148.7 g mol-1. The density is 4200 kg m-3. The bandgap is approximately 1.6 eV. A semiconductor is a material with an electrical conductivity that is intermediate between that of an insulator and a conductor. ... Aluminum is a soft and lightweight metal with a dull silvery appearance, due to a thin layer of oxidation that forms quickly when it is exposed to air. ... General Name, Symbol, Number antimony, Sb, 51 Chemical series metalloids Group, Period, Block 15, 5, p Appearance silvery lustrous grey Atomic mass 121. ... CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences and alloys. ... Lattice constant, or a, defines the distance between atoms in crystal lattice. ... The international prototype, made of platinum-iridium, which is kept at the BIPM under conditions specified by the 1st CGPM in 1889. ... In solid state physics and related applied fields, the band gap is the energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band in insulators and semiconductors. ... An electronvolt (symbol: eV) is the amount of energy gained by a single unbound electron when it falls through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt. ...


AlSb can be alloyed with other III-V materials to produce the following ternary materials: AlInSb, AlGaSb and AlAsSb.
