CdGeO3
CdGeO3 is a semiconducting oxide material with potential applications in the development of transparent electronics.

About CdGeO3
CdGeO3 is a semiconducting oxide that belongs to the class of transparent conducting materials. Its electronic structure and crystalline arrangement make it a subject of interest for researchers exploring new functional oxides for optoelectronic applications.
As a near-hull material, it is considered potentially synthesizable and stable enough for experimental investigation. Its role in the field is defined by the ongoing search for stable, wide-range semiconducting oxides that can bridge the gap between traditional insulators and conductive materials.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for CdGeO3, 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.
