RbUO3
RbUO3 is a thermodynamically stable, semiconducting oxide containing rubidium and uranium.
About RbUO3
RbUO3 is a complex oxide featuring rubidium and uranium, characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a thermodynamically stable compound residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust phase within the uranium-based oxide family, offering significant interest for fundamental solid-state studies.
Its structural diversity is evidenced by multiple reported configurations across various databases. This stability and electronic behavior make it a compelling subject for researchers investigating the interplay between heavy elements and alkali metals in crystalline lattices.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for RbUO3, 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.
