F3N1Sn1
F3N1Sn1 is a metastable semiconducting compound containing tin, nitrogen, and fluorine that is primarily studied for its structural and electronic characteristics.
About F3N1Sn1
F3N1Sn1 is a complex inorganic compound composed of tin, nitrogen, and fluorine. As a semiconducting material, it represents an interesting subject for fundamental research into the electronic behavior of multi-anion tin systems.
Due to its position above the thermodynamic hull, this material is considered metastable. While it has been identified in multiple structural configurations, its inherent instability makes it a challenging candidate for practical synthesis and long-term device integration.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for F3N1Sn1, 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.
