HISr
HISr is a stable, wide-band-gap insulating solid containing strontium, hydrogen, and iodine.
About HISr
HISr is a unique inorganic compound composed of hydrogen, iodine, and strontium. As a thermodynamically stable material situated on the convex hull, it represents a robust configuration within its chemical system.
Characterized by its wide-band-gap insulating nature, this material is of interest for specialized electronic and optical applications where high resistivity is required. Its structural stability makes it a compelling subject for further investigation in solid-state chemistry.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for HISr, 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 HISr. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
Agreement ScoreA normalized confidence score summarizing how closely independent DFT databases agree. Higher scores mean tighter cross-source agreement.
Hull SpreadDifference between the highest and lowest energy-above-hull values reported by comparable sources. Smaller spread means less thermodynamic disagreement.
