BaSr
BaSr is a metallic binary intermetallic compound composed of barium and strontium that is considered potentially synthesizable.
About BaSr
BaSr is a metallic intermetallic compound formed from the alkaline earth metals barium and strontium. Its electronic character is defined by its metallic nature, lacking a band gap, which is characteristic of its elemental constituents. The compound is considered to be near the thermodynamic hull, suggesting that it is a viable candidate for synthesis. With a significant number of reported structures across multiple databases, it represents an interesting subject for studies in binary metal systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for BaSr, aggregated across 5 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.
