Magnesium-germanium-tin-lead silicide?

[edit]

In this article one of the nonconductive silicides listed is quoted as (Mg,Ge,Sn,Pb)2Si. But Mg2Si is a semiconductor that is being considered for use in thermoelectrics, and modified versions of it have the heavier Group 14 elements substituting for silicon instead of magnesium so the compound would be Mg2(Si,Ge,Sn,Pb). You may want to check the WP article on magnesium silicide. Olthe3rd1 (talk) 00:46, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
