Li1Pb1Y2
Li1Pb1Y2 is a semimetallic ternary intermetallic compound composed of lithium, lead, and yttrium.
About Li1Pb1Y2
Li1Pb1Y2 is a complex ternary compound composed of lithium, lead, and yttrium. It exhibits a semimetallic electronic character, placing it in a regime where conductive properties are highly sensitive to its atomic arrangement.
Due to its position above the thermodynamic hull, this material is considered metastable. Its existence across multiple reported structures highlights it as a subject of significant interest for researchers exploring structural diversity in multi-element intermetallic systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li1Pb1Y2, 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.
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.
