Calcium orthovanadate is a stable, insulating ternary oxide used in solid-state materials research.
About calcium orthovanadate
Calcium orthovanadate is a thermodynamically stable oxide that functions as a wide-gap insulator. Its robust structural framework makes it a significant subject of study for researchers interested in complex ternary oxide systems and their potential for electronic applications.
Because it sits firmly on the convex hull, this compound exhibits excellent stability under standard conditions. Its insulating nature and structural versatility allow it to serve as a foundational material for investigating the interplay between transition metal centers and alkaline earth cations in solid-state chemistry.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for calcium orthovanadate, 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.
