…is the case with the IV–VI semiconductors such as lead sulfide. Heavier elements from the fourth column of the periodic table (germanium, tin, and lead) combine with the chalcogenides from the sixth row to form good binary semiconductors such as germanium telluride (GeTe) or tin sulfide (SnS). They have the…
