K2CrF6
K2CrF6 is a stable, semiconducting inorganic fluoride compound composed of potassium, chromium, and fluorine.
About K2CrF6
K2CrF6 is a complex fluoride salt that exhibits semiconducting electronic behavior. As a thermodynamically stable phase residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust configuration of potassium, chromium, and fluorine atoms that maintains structural integrity under standard conditions.
This material is of significant interest for researchers investigating transition metal fluorides. Its stability and electronic characteristics make it a subject of study for potential applications in specialized chemical synthesis and materials development where precise control over electronic properties is required.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for K2CrF6, 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.
