About In1Te2Zn1
In1Te2Zn1 is a semiconducting compound within the phase-change memory material family. Its position on the convex hull indicates high thermodynamic stability, making it a robust candidate for applications requiring structural reliability during repeated transitions. As a member of the indium-tellurium-zinc system, this material is designed to leverage reversible phase transitions between amorphous and crystalline states. This capability is essential for high-speed, non-volatile data storage technologies that rely on rapid resistance switching.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for In1Te2Zn1, aggregated across 2 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.
