TeI
TeI is a stable, semiconducting inorganic compound formed from tellurium and iodine.
About TeI
TeI is a binary inorganic compound composed of tellurium and iodine. As a thermodynamically stable phase located on the convex hull, it represents a robust structural arrangement within its chemical system.
This material exhibits semiconducting electronic character, making it a subject of interest for researchers investigating electronic and optoelectronic properties. Its existence across multiple structural databases highlights its significance as a well-documented phase in solid-state chemistry.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for TeI, 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.
