MgVMoO5
MgVMoO5 is a semiconducting quaternary oxide material that exists in a metastable state.

About MgVMoO5
MgVMoO5 is a complex quaternary oxide composed of magnesium, vanadium, molybdenum, and oxygen. As a semiconducting material, it represents a specialized chemical system that has been the subject of structural investigation across multiple databases. Its electronic properties suggest potential utility in advanced electronic or catalytic applications where specific band structures are required. The material is characterized by its position relative to the thermodynamic ground state, indicating it is a metastable phase. This metastability is a critical factor for researchers, as it often points to unique synthesis pathways or specific conditions required to stabilize the crystal lattice for practical use.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for MgVMoO5, 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.
