Overview

About Cr2Mo1V1

Cr2Mo1V1 is a ternary intermetallic phase composed of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. Its electronic structure exhibits semimetallic behavior, placing it in a regime where charge carriers are highly mobile, which is often a point of interest for fundamental studies in transition metal alloys.

As a material that sits above the thermodynamic hull, this compound is considered metastable. While it has been documented across numerous structural configurations in computational databases, its synthesis and long-term stability remain subjects of ongoing investigation in materials science research.
