Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Electronic Properties of the CaRE<sub>3</sub>SbO<sub>4</sub> and Ca<sub>2</sub>RE<sub>8</sub>Sb<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub> phases (RE = Rare-Earth Metal)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Through high temperature synthesis at 1300 °C and above, our group has discovered and characterized the novel CaRE 3 SbO 4 and Ca 2 RE 8 Sb 3 O 10 phases (RE = Ce–Nd, Sm–Dy for CaRE 3 SbO 4, RE = La–Nd, Sm–Dy for Ca 2 RE 8 Sb 3 O 10 ). This result was motivated by the idea of opening a band gap and introducing structural complexity in the rare-earth antimonide framework by incorporation of rare-earth oxide and calcium oxide. The CaRE 3 SbO 4 phases adopt the tetragonal I 4/ m symmetry while the Ca 2 RE 8 Sb 3 O 10 ones adopt the monoclinic C 2/ m symmetry. These structures show many similarities to the other RE–Sb–O phases discovered recently, particularly to the RE 3 SbO 3 and RE 8 Sb 3 O 8 phases, in which a prolonged heat treatment results in one structure converting to another by elongation of the rare-earth oxide slabs. Electrical resistivity measurements yielded semiconducting properties for both series, despite the unbalanced electron count for Ca 2 RE 8 Sb 3 O 10 and electronic structure calculations that support metallic-type conduction. This unusual behavior is attributed to Anderson-type localization of Sb p states near the Fermi level, which arises from the highly disordered Sb layers in the structure. This Sb disorder was shown to be tunable with respect to the size of the rare-earth used, improving the electrical resistivity by approximately 1 order of magnitude for each rare-earth in the series.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
