GaHO is a wide-band-gap oxide material that serves as an insulator and is considered a promising candidate for specialized electronic and optical applications.
About GaHO
GaHO is a wide-band-gap oxide that functions as an insulator, positioning it as an intriguing candidate within the broader family of transparent conducting oxides. Its electronic character suggests potential utility in specialized optoelectronic components where wide-gap materials are essential for transparency and dielectric performance.
As a near-hull material, GaHO is considered thermodynamically accessible for synthesis. With multiple reported structures across databases, it represents a significant subject for ongoing materials research into how gallium-based oxides can be tuned for advanced electronic device integration.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for GaHO, 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.
