InHO

InHO is a thermodynamically stable indium-based oxide that functions as a wide-gap insulator within the transparent conducting oxide material class.

Overview

About InHO

InHO is a thermodynamically stable inorganic compound that sits firmly on the convex hull, indicating robust structural integrity. As a member of the transparent conducting oxide class, it exhibits wide-gap insulating characteristics that distinguish its electronic behavior in thin-film applications. Its presence across multiple structural databases highlights its significance as a subject of ongoing materials research. This compound serves as a critical building block for understanding indium-based oxide systems, particularly where high stability is required for electronic or optical components. Its unique electronic profile makes it a compelling candidate for specialized semiconductor development where traditional transparent conductors may require modification.
