H3F2
H3F2 is a thermodynamically stable, insulating compound composed of hydrogen and fluorine that exhibits a wide electronic band gap.
About H3F2
H3F2 is a unique hydrogen-fluorine compound that exists as a thermodynamically stable phase on the convex hull. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits distinct electronic characteristics that set it apart from typical metallic or semiconducting hydrogen-based materials.
Its structural complexity is highlighted by a significant number of reported configurations across multiple databases. This diversity in structural arrangements makes it a subject of interest for researchers investigating the fundamental bonding behaviors of light elements under varying conditions.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for H3F2, 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.
