Zinc antimonide (Zn Sb), (Zn₃Sb₂), (Zn₄Sb₃) is an inorganic chemical compound. The Zn-Sb system contains six intermetallics.^[2] Like indium antimonide, aluminium antimonide, and gallium antimonide, it is a semiconducting intermetallic compound. It is used in transistors, infrared detectors and thermal imagers, as well as magnetoresistive devices.
