About I2O2Tm2

I2O2Tm2 is a complex inorganic compound composed of thulium, iodine, and oxygen. As a thermodynamically stable phase residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust structural arrangement within its chemical system.

This material exhibits a wide-band-gap insulating electronic character, which is characteristic of many lanthanide-based oxyhalides. Its stable nature makes it a subject of interest for researchers investigating the fundamental interactions between rare-earth elements and chalcogen-halogen frameworks.
