AlHO
AlHO is a wide-band-gap insulating compound containing aluminum, hydrogen, and oxygen that is predicted to be synthesizable.
About AlHO
AlHO is an insulating compound composed of aluminum, hydrogen, and oxygen. As a wide-band-gap material, it exhibits electronic properties characteristic of highly stable dielectric substances, making it a subject of interest for fundamental materials research.
Because it sits near the thermodynamic hull, AlHO is considered a likely synthesizable phase. Its existence across multiple structural databases suggests a complex landscape of potential configurations that warrant further investigation for specialized applications.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for AlHO, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
