Tl2MoO4
Tl2MoO4 is a stable, wide-gap insulating inorganic compound composed of thallium, molybdenum, and oxygen.
About Tl2MoO4
Tl2MoO4 is a structurally rich inorganic compound that exists as a thermodynamically stable phase. Its electronic character is defined by a wide band gap, classifying it as an insulator that is of interest for fundamental solid-state studies.
Because it sits on the convex hull, this material exhibits robust stability. Its presence across multiple structural databases underscores its significance as a well-characterized member of the thallium-molybdenum-oxygen system.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Tl2MoO4, 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.
