ScHO
ScHO is a wide-band-gap insulating scandium compound that is theoretically stable enough to be synthesized for material science applications.
About ScHO
ScHO is a hydrogen-containing scandium oxide that functions as a wide-band-gap insulator. Its electronic structure suggests potential utility in specialized dielectric applications where insulating properties are paramount.
As a material residing near the thermodynamic hull, ScHO is considered a viable candidate for experimental synthesis. Its structural versatility is evidenced by a significant number of reported configurations across multiple databases, highlighting its interest within the scientific community.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for ScHO, 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.
