Magnesium Stannide (Magnesium Tin)

Magnesium stannide is an indirect bandgap semiconductor used in the research and development of thermoelectric materials and narrow-gap electronic components.

Mg2Sn is utilized as a sputtering target material for the deposition of thin films in the fabrication of magneto-optic and thermoelectric devices.

Used as an alloying additive or intermediate phase in the development of lightweight magnesium-tin alloys to improve mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
