semimetallisk
Semimetallisk, in English usually semimetal or semimetallic, refers to materials whose properties lie between metals and nonmetals. In chemistry it is often used for elements known as metalloids—boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium—exhibiting a mix of metallic and nonmetallic characteristics.
In solid-state physics, a semimetal is a material in which the valence and conduction bands either slightly
Examples of elemental semimetals include the metalloids listed above and, in some classifications, bismuth and graphite,
Applications span electronics, thermoelectrics, and sensing. Silicon's semimetal-like properties underpin most modern electronics; bismuth-based materials are
The label semimetallisk reflects a classification rather than a rigid category, covering elemental metalloids and crystalline
