BiCu2O6P
BiCu2O6P has a DFT band gap of Metallic / not reported across 2 reported structures in 1 space group; its reference structure is orthorhombic (Pnma (No. 62)). Cross-validated across 2 computational databases.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for BiCu2O6P, aggregated across 2 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.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Cross-Source DFT Agreement
How well independent DFT databases agree on the thermodynamics of BiCu2O6P. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
Only 1 independent DFT source (materials_project) reports a hull energy for BiCu2O6P, so cross-source agreement can't be assessed yet.
