Sr2ZrO4
Sr2ZrO4 is a metastable semiconducting perovskite oxide used primarily in fundamental materials science research.
About Sr2ZrO4
Sr2ZrO4 is a complex perovskite oxide that exists in a metastable state. Its electronic character is defined as semiconducting, making it a subject of interest for researchers investigating the interplay between structural geometry and electronic behavior in oxide systems.
Because it is a member of the broader perovskite family, this compound serves as a model for understanding phase stability and structural transitions. It is primarily utilized in fundamental materials science research to explore the limits of oxide synthesis and the potential for tuning electronic properties through chemical substitution.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Sr2ZrO4, 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.

How It Compares
Within the perovskite oxides class.
Within the diverse class of perovskite oxides, Sr2ZrO4 occupies a distinct niche compared to well-known, highly stable ferroelectrics like BaTiO3 or the widely studied magnetic perovskites such as LaMnO3 and LaFeO3. Unlike these archetypal materials, Sr2ZrO4 is characterized by its metastable nature, which differentiates its synthesis and processing requirements from the more robust and thermodynamically favored members of the group.
