Structural, Thermal, and Physical Properties of the Thallium Zirconium Telluride Tl<sub>2</sub>ZrTe<sub>3</sub>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have synthesized Tl 2 ZrTe 3 at elevated temperatures starting from the elements. Tl 2 ZrTe 3 adopts a cubic structure, space group P 2 1 3 with a unit cell parameter of a = 19.118(1) Å ( Z = 36). All Tl and Zr atoms are octahedrally (distorted) coordinated by Te atoms. One out of 11 crystallographically distinct Te atoms in the structure is not connected to any Zr atoms, but is surrounded by six Tl atoms in the form of a severely distorted octahedron. Because of the absence of any significant homonuclear interactions, all atoms are in their most common oxidation states, namely, Tl +, Zr 4+, and Te 2– . Electronic structure calculations and physical property measurements reveal the semiconducting characteristics of the compound. The structure and thermoelectric properties of Tl 2 ZrTe 3 and Tl 2 SnTe 3 are compared in the present work. The dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, was found to be 0.18 for Tl 2 ZrTe 3 at 420 K and 0.31 for Tl 2 SnTe 3 at 500 K, with both materials exhibiting very low thermal conductivity. Tl 2 ZrTe 3 decomposes irreversibly around 450 K in open systems under inert gas atmosphere, while it remains stable up to its incongruent melting point at 835 K in closed silica tubes.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
