MgO2V
MgO2V is a metastable, semiconducting ternary oxide compound studied for its complex structural properties.
About MgO2V
MgO2V is a complex ternary oxide that exhibits semiconducting electronic behavior. As a material that resides above the thermodynamic hull, it is considered a metastable phase, which presents unique challenges and opportunities for synthesis and characterization in solid-state chemistry.
Given its status as a metastable compound, MgO2V is primarily of interest to researchers investigating phase stability and structural diversity. Its existence across multiple reported structures suggests a rich potential for exploration in specialized materials science applications where non-equilibrium states are utilized.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for MgO2V, 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.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Cross-Source DFT Agreement
How well independent DFT databases agree on the thermodynamics of MgO2V. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
Only 1 independent DFT source (materials_project) reports a hull energy for MgO2V, so cross-source agreement can't be assessed yet.
Reported Structures
