calcium zirconate · calcium metazirconate
Calcium zirconate is a stable, insulating perovskite oxide used primarily in high-temperature refractory and ceramic applications.
About calcium zirconate
Calcium zirconate is a robust perovskite oxide that maintains high thermodynamic stability. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it is prized for its chemical inertness and structural integrity under demanding environmental conditions.
This material serves as a critical component in advanced ceramics and refractory technology. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions makes it a reliable choice for industrial manufacturing processes where thermal and chemical resistance are paramount.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for calcium zirconate, 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.
