GeO3Te
GeO3Te is a wide-gap insulating ternary compound that is considered a promising candidate for synthesis due to its favorable thermodynamic stability.
About GeO3Te
GeO3Te is an insulating compound composed of germanium, oxygen, and tellurium. Its electronic character is defined by a wide band gap, positioning it as a dielectric material of interest for specialized electronic or optical applications. The material exhibits thermodynamic stability near the convex hull, suggesting it is a viable candidate for experimental synthesis. As a relatively rare ternary oxide-telluride, it provides a unique structural framework for researchers investigating complex inorganic systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for GeO3Te, 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.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Cross-Source DFT Agreement
How well independent DFT databases agree on the thermodynamics of GeO3Te. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
