CdCoF5
CdCoF5 is a semiconducting transition metal fluoride compound characterized by its metastable thermodynamic state.
About CdCoF5
CdCoF5 is a complex fluoride compound that exhibits semiconducting electronic behavior. Its composition, involving cadmium and cobalt, places it in a unique category of transition metal-based inorganic materials that are of interest for fundamental solid-state studies.
Because this material resides above the thermodynamic stability hull, it is considered a metastable phase. This characteristic makes it a subject of interest for researchers investigating synthetic pathways and the conditions required to stabilize complex fluoride frameworks.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for CdCoF5, 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.
