BaNa6O4
BaNa6O4 is a semiconducting ternary oxide that is computationally predicted to be stable enough for potential laboratory synthesis.
About BaNa6O4
BaNa6O4 is a complex oxide composed of barium, sodium, and oxygen. Its electronic character is defined as semiconducting, positioning it as a material of interest for researchers investigating functional inorganic compounds with tunable electrical properties.
Because it is classified as a near-hull material, BaNa6O4 is considered thermodynamically stable enough to be a viable target for experimental synthesis. With multiple reported structures across databases, it remains a subject of ongoing computational and structural study.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for BaNa6O4, 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.
