Te2O5
Te2O5 is a stable binary tellurium oxide that functions as a semiconductor.
About Te2O5
Te2O5 is a distinct tellurium oxide compound characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a thermodynamically stable phase residing on the convex hull, it represents a robust structural arrangement within the tellurium-oxygen system, offering reliable performance for specialized material applications.
Its structural complexity is highlighted by a significant number of reported experimental and theoretical configurations. This diversity in structural data makes it a compelling subject for researchers investigating the interplay between atomic arrangement and electronic behavior in binary oxides.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Te2O5, 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.
