Gd<sub>12</sub>Co<sub>5.3</sub>Bi and Gd<sub>12</sub>Co<sub>5</sub>Bi, Crystalline Doppelgänger with Low Thermal Conductivities
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Attempts to prepare Gd12Co5Bi, a member of the rare-earth (RE) intermetallics RE12Co5Bi, which were identified by a machine-learning recommendation engine as potential candidates for thermoelectric materials, led instead to formation of the new compound Gd12Co5.3Bi with a very similar composition. Phase equilibria near the Gd-rich corner of the Gd-Co-Bi phase diagram were elucidated by both lab-based and variable-temperature synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, suggesting that Gd12Co5.3Bi and Gd12Co5Bi are distinct phases. The higher symmetry structure of Gd12Co5.3Bi (cubic, space group Im3̅, Z = 2, a = 9.713(6) Å), as determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction, is closely related to that of Gd12Co5Bi (tetragonal, space group Immm). Single Co atoms and Co-Co dumbbells are disordered with occupancies of 0.78(2) and 0.22(2), respectively, in Gd12Co5.3Bi, but they are ordered in Gd12Co5Bi. Consistent with this disorder, the electrical resistivity shows less dependence on temperature for Gd12Co5.3Bi than for Gd12Co5Bi. The thermal conductivity is low and reaches 2.8 W m(-1) K(-1) at 600 °C for both compounds; however, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity differs, decreasing for Gd12Co5.3Bi and increasing for Gd12Co5Bi as the temperature increases. The unusual trends in thermal properties persist in the heat capacity, which decreases below 2R, and in the thermal diffusivity, which increases at higher temperatures.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
