F3RbSn
F3RbSn is a thermodynamically stable, wide-gap insulating fluoride perovskite used primarily in fundamental materials science research.
About F3RbSn
F3RbSn is a fluoride-based perovskite material that sits on the convex hull, indicating significant thermodynamic stability. Its electronic character is defined by a wide band gap, classifying it as an insulating material within the broader halide perovskite family.
Because of its structural integrity and insulating nature, this compound serves as a critical model for understanding the stability limits of perovskite-structured halides. It is primarily utilized in fundamental materials research to explore the boundaries of electronic properties in fluoride-based systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for F3RbSn, 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.

How It Compares
Within the halide perovskite photovoltaics class.
Unlike the highly conductive and widely studied photovoltaic material CsSnI3, F3RbSn functions as a wide-gap insulator. While it shares the perovskite framework with compounds like RbPbF3 and CsF3Sn, its specific chemical composition dictates a much larger electronic gap, making it distinct from the narrow-gap semiconductors typically prioritized for solar energy harvesting.
