B2F8Sr
B2F8Sr is a thermodynamically stable, insulating strontium borofluoride compound.
About B2F8Sr
B2F8Sr is a complex inorganic compound composed of strontium, boron, and fluorine. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits robust electronic properties typical of materials where valence electrons are tightly bound, preventing electrical conduction under standard conditions.
This compound is notable for its thermodynamic stability, as it sits on the convex hull of its constituent elements. Its structural integrity is supported by multiple reported configurations, making it a subject of interest for fundamental materials research into fluoride-based systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for B2F8Sr, 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.
