About Ga1In1Li2

Ga1In1Li2 is a ternary intermetallic compound composed of gallium, indium, and lithium. Its electronic character is defined by a near-zero band gap, placing it in the category of semimetallic materials that exhibit complex electronic behavior due to the interplay of its constituent elements.

As a material that resides above the thermodynamic convex hull, Ga1In1Li2 is considered metastable or unstable under standard conditions. Despite this, it remains a subject of significant interest in computational materials science, with numerous structural configurations identified that provide insight into the phase space of lithium-rich alloys.
