Electronic transition in solid Nb at high pressure and temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The electrical resistivity of high purity solid Nb has been measured at fixed pressures up to 5 GPa in a large volume press and temperatures up to ∼1900 K. The expected resistivity decrease with pressure and increase with temperature were found. A transition was observed in the temperature dependence of resistivity at high temperature. The transition is discussed in terms of the effects of pressure and temperature on the electronic band structure of Nb causing a resistivity behavior characteristic of a change from the “minus group” to the “plus group.” Extrapolation of the pressure dependence of the transition temperature suggests that Nb would show plus group behavior at room T at an estimated pressure of ∼27 ± 7 GPa. The electronic thermal conductivity was calculated using the Wiedemann-Franz law and was in very good agreement with 1 atm data. We show that the temperature dependence of the calculated electronic thermal conductivity increases with a steep slope from room temperature up to the electronic transition temperature for all fixed pressures. Above the transition temperature, the T-dependence of electronic thermal conductivity remained constant at 2 GPa and exhibited an increasingly negative slope at higher pressures. The isothermal pressure-dependence of electronic thermal conductivity is positive.

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.
