MoPO5
MoPO5 is a thermodynamically stable semiconducting molybdenum phosphate compound.
About MoPO5
MoPO5 is a thermodynamically stable inorganic compound composed of molybdenum, phosphorus, and oxygen. As a member of the phosphate family, it exhibits semiconducting electronic characteristics that make it a subject of interest for researchers investigating functional solid-state materials.
Its position on the convex hull indicates a high degree of structural stability, which is supported by its presence across multiple structural databases. This stability suggests that MoPO5 is a robust candidate for further experimental characterization and exploration in advanced material applications.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for MoPO5, aggregated across 4 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.
