BaTi2O5
BaTi2O5 is a stable, semiconducting barium titanium oxide used in materials research for its unique structural properties.
About BaTi2O5
BaTi2O5 is a semiconducting oxide that exists as a stable phase on the convex hull. As a member of the perovskite-related family, it is characterized by a complex arrangement of barium, titanium, and oxygen atoms that dictate its electronic behavior.
This material is of significant interest in materials science due to its structural integrity and potential for integration into functional electronic devices. Its stability makes it a reliable candidate for researchers investigating the interplay between crystal structure and semiconducting properties.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for BaTi2O5, 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.
