Ti3Zn
Ti3Zn is a metallic intermetallic compound formed from titanium and zinc that is considered a promising candidate for synthesis.
About Ti3Zn
Ti3Zn is a metallic intermetallic compound composed of titanium and zinc. Its electronic structure is characterized by a lack of a band gap, consistent with its metallic nature and typical behavior for transition metal-based alloys.
As a near-hull compound, Ti3Zn is considered a viable candidate for experimental synthesis. Its significant presence in structural databases highlights its importance as a subject of ongoing study in materials science and metallurgy.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Ti3Zn, aggregated across 4 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.
