Abstract
The structural determination, thermodynamic, mechanical, dynamic and electronic properties of 4d transitional metal diborides MB 2 ( M = Y – Ag ) are systematically investigated by first-principles within the density functional theory (DFT). For each diboride, five structures are considered, i.e. AlB 2 -, ReB 2 -, OsB 2 -, MoB 2 - and WB 2 -type structures. The calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with the previously theoretical and experimental studies. The formation enthalpy increases from YB 2 to AgB 2 in AlB 2 -type structure (similar to MoB 2 - and WB 2 -type). While the formation enthalpy decreases from YB 2 to MoB 2 , reached minimum value to TcB 2 , and then increases gradually in ReB 2 -type structure (similar to OsB 2 -type), which is consistent with the results of the calculated density of states. The structural stability of these materials relates mainly on electronegative of metals, boron structure and bond characters. Among the considered structures, TcB 2 – ReB 2 ( TcB 2 – ReB 2 represents TcB 2 in ReB 2 -type structure, the same hereinafter) has the largest shear modulus (248 GPa), and is the hardest compound. The number of electrons transferred from metals to boron atoms and the calculated densities of states (DOS) indicate that each diboride is a complex mixture of metallic, ionic and covalent characteristics. Trends are discussed.

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 it
