Li2ZrN2
Li2ZrN2 is a thermodynamically stable semiconducting nitride composed of lithium, zirconium, and nitrogen.
About Li2ZrN2
Li2ZrN2 is a semiconducting ternary nitride that occupies a stable position on the thermodynamic convex hull. Its unique composition of lithium, zirconium, and nitrogen positions it as a subject of interest for researchers investigating stable, functional electronic materials.
Because it is thermodynamically stable, this compound remains a robust candidate for further experimental characterization. Its electronic character suggests potential utility in specialized semiconductor applications where specific band structures are required for device performance.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li2ZrN2, 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.
