PRuS
PRuS is a semiconducting ternary compound containing phosphorus, ruthenium, and sulfur that is predicted to be synthesizable.
About PRuS
PRuS is a ternary compound composed of phosphorus, ruthenium, and sulfur. It exhibits semiconducting electronic properties, making it an intriguing subject for research into specialized electronic materials and potential functional devices.
Because it is classified as a near-hull material, PRuS is considered a viable candidate for successful laboratory synthesis. Its structural diversity, evidenced by multiple entries across major materials databases, suggests a complex and rich phase space that warrants further investigation.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for PRuS, 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.
