Cd2TeSe
Cd2TeSe is a semiconducting cadmium-based ternary chalcogenide that is considered a likely candidate for laboratory synthesis.
About Cd2TeSe
Cd2TeSe is a semiconducting ternary chalcogenide that bridges the properties of cadmium-based binary systems. Its electronic character makes it an interesting candidate for research into light-sensitive materials and thin-film technologies.
Because it sits near the thermodynamic hull, the compound is considered a viable target for experimental synthesis. The existence of multiple reported structural variations suggests a complex phase space that warrants further investigation for potential device integration.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Cd2TeSe, 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.
