Cadmium arsenide (Cd3As2) is a crystalline semiconductor with a tetragonal structure in the II-V family. It is a narrow gap semiconductor with an energy gap of 0.14 eV. The electron mobility is very large at ambient temperature. It is a n-type intrinsic semiconductor.

Cadmium arsenide can be prepared as amorphous semiconductive glass.

Cadmium arsenide shows the Nernst effect.

Cadmium arsenide is used in infrared detectors using Nernst effect, and in thin-film dynamic pressure sensors. It can be also used to make magnetoresistors, and in photodetectors. [1]

Cadmium arsenide can be used as a dopant for HgCdTe.
