Electron band structure of the high pressure cubic phase of AlH<sub>3</sub>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electronic band structure of the cubic Pm3n phase of AlH3 stable above 100 GPa is examined with semi-local, Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson local density approximation (TB-mBJLDA), screened hybrid density functionals and GW methods. The shift of the conduction band to higher energy with increasing pressure is predicted by all methods. However, there are significant differences in detail band structure. In the pressure range from 90 to160 GPa, semi-local, hybrid functional and TB-mBJLDA calculations predicted that AlH3 is a poor metal. In comparison, GW calculations show a gap opening at 160 GPa and AlH3 becomes a small gap semi-conductor. From the trends of the calculated band shifts, it can be concluded that the favourable conditions leading to the nesting of Fermi surfaces predicted by semi-local calculation have disappeared if the exchange term is included. The results highlight the importance of the correction to the exchange energy on the band structure of hydrogen dominant dense metal hydrides at high pressure hydrides and may help to rationalize the absence of superconductivity in AlH3 from experimental measurements.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
