Ti2CdO6
Ti2CdO6 is a semiconducting oxide material containing titanium and cadmium that is studied for its potential role in transparent electronic applications.
About Ti2CdO6
Ti2CdO6 is a complex oxide composed of titanium, cadmium, and oxygen. As a member of the transparent conducting oxide class, it is investigated for its potential electronic properties and light-transmitting capabilities in thin-film applications. Despite its interesting composition, the material is generally found to be thermodynamically unstable relative to its constituent phases, placing it above the hull in stability analysis.
Research into this compound is supported by a moderate body of structural data across multiple databases. While it shares the general chemical classification of conductive oxides, its specific semiconducting nature and structural complexity make it a subject of interest for fundamental materials science studies exploring non-traditional oxide systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Ti2CdO6, 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 transparent conducting oxides class.
Unlike highly stable and widely utilized transparent conducting oxides such as ZnO or BaSnO3, Ti2CdO6 is characterized by its relative thermodynamic instability. While siblings like ZnGa2O4 and ZnCr2O4 are well-established in the literature, Ti2CdO6 remains a more niche experimental candidate that highlights the challenges of synthesizing complex ternary oxides within this functional class.
