MoSeS
MoSeS is a semiconducting ternary compound containing molybdenum, selenium, and sulfur that is considered a promising candidate for experimental synthesis.
About MoSeS
MoSeS is a semiconducting compound composed of molybdenum, selenium, and sulfur. It belongs to a family of transition metal dichalcogenide-related materials that are increasingly explored for their unique electronic properties and potential for structural tuning.
As a near-hull material, it is considered thermodynamically stable enough to be a viable candidate for synthesis. Its existence across multiple structural configurations highlights its versatility as a subject for computational and experimental materials science research.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for MoSeS, 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.
