About LuSBr
LuSBr is a ternary inorganic compound composed of lutetium, sulfur, and bromine. As a thermodynamically stable phase residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust structural arrangement within its chemical system.
The material exhibits semiconducting electronic character, making it an interesting candidate for investigation in electronic and optoelectronic applications. Its stability suggests potential for synthesis and integration into functional material architectures.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LuSBr, 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.
