ScVO3
ScVO3 is a metastable semiconducting oxide containing scandium and vanadium.
About ScVO3
ScVO3 is a complex oxide composed of scandium, vanadium, and oxygen. As a metastable material, it represents a unique structural configuration that offers intriguing possibilities for solid-state research and electronic applications.
Its semiconducting nature makes it a subject of interest for those studying transition metal oxides. Given its structural diversity, it serves as a valuable case study for understanding phase stability and electronic behavior in ternary oxide systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for ScVO3, 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.
