Ba2FeO6V
Ba2FeO6V is a semiconducting complex oxide belonging to the ferrite family that is currently studied for its unique structural properties.

About Ba2FeO6V
Ba2FeO6V is a complex oxide belonging to the broader family of ferrite materials. As a semiconducting compound, it represents an intriguing intersection of iron-based magnetic oxides and barium-based structural frameworks, offering potential for specialized electronic applications where specific oxidation states are required.
While this material exhibits a complex structural arrangement, its thermodynamic profile suggests it exists above the stability hull. This characteristic makes it a subject of interest for researchers studying metastable phases and the synthesis of complex ferrites that deviate from standard structural archetypes.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Ba2FeO6V, 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.

How It Compares
Within the spinel and hexagonal ferrites class.
Unlike the highly stable and widely utilized spinel ferrites such as MgFe2O4 or ZnFe2O4, Ba2FeO6V occupies a more precarious thermodynamic position. While compounds like Sr2FeMoO6 are celebrated for their robust electronic properties, Ba2FeO6V is distinguished by its unique stoichiometry and its status as a less common, potentially unstable variant within the expansive landscape of barium-iron oxides.
