SbP
SbP has a DFT band gap of 0.34 eV across 106 reported structures in 23 space groups. Cross-validated across 2 computational databases.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for SbP, 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.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Cross-Source DFT Agreement
How well independent DFT databases agree on the thermodynamics of SbP. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
Only 1 independent DFT source (oqmd) reports a hull energy for SbP, so cross-source agreement can't be assessed yet.
