Abstract

Disclosed is an adamantine semiconductor. The semiconductor comprises a first element being from one of the following groups: VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, Ī or 0. The semiconductor also comprises at least two other elements, the at least two other elements being from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII. The first element being from group VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, Ī or 0 includes an element not formally being from group VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, Ī or 0 but is known to assume the same oxidation state as the elements that do lie in these groups. The at least two other elements from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII includes elements not formally being from group I, II, III, IV, V, VI and/or VII but are known to assume the same oxidation state as the elements that do lie in these groups.
