Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for TeRuSe, 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.

How It Compares
Within the platinum-group alloy catalysts class.
Within the broader class of platinum-group alloy catalysts, TeRuSe occupies a distinct niche compared to more metallic counterparts like LaRh or BaPd. While many members of this class exhibit metallic behavior, TeRuSe is notable for its semiconducting nature, setting it apart from the typical conductivity profiles seen in siblings such as GeRu or Ga2Ru.
