LiAuO2
LiAuO2 is a thermodynamically stable semiconducting oxide containing lithium and gold.
About LiAuO2
LiAuO2 is a distinct member of the lithium oxide family, characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a thermodynamically stable compound residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust phase that has been extensively documented across multiple structural databases.
This material is of significant interest in solid-state chemistry due to its unique combination of lithium, gold, and oxygen. Its stability and predictable structural behavior make it a valuable subject for researchers investigating the fundamental electronic properties of ternary lithium-based oxides.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiAuO2, 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.
