As2Pb3O8
As2Pb3O8 is a stable, insulating inorganic oxide compound containing lead and arsenic.
About As2Pb3O8
As2Pb3O8 is a complex inorganic compound composed of arsenic, lead, and oxygen. As a thermodynamically stable phase located on the convex hull, it represents a robust crystalline arrangement that maintains structural integrity under standard conditions.
This material functions as a wide-gap insulator, characterized by its electronic properties that prevent significant electrical conductivity. Its stability and structural variety, evidenced by multiple documented configurations, make it a subject of interest for fundamental research into lead-arsenic oxide systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for As2Pb3O8, 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.
