Tunable Second-Order Structural Transition in As-Deficient MnAs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report measurements of magnetization, specific heat, and thermal expansion performed on As-deficient MnAs single crystals (MnAs$_{0.968}$). Ferromagnetic order is observed near $T_C \simeq$ 306 K on warming and $T_C \simeq$ 302 K on cooling, which is consistent with previously-reported values for stoichiometric MnAs samples. In contrast, the second-order structural phase transition is observed at $T_S \simeq$ 353 K, which is nearly 50 K lower than in the stoichiometric compound. We observe differences in the thermal expansion of our samples when compared to reports of stoichiometric MnAs including: (1) the $\sim$1.5% volume decrease at $T_C$ is smaller than the expected value of 1.9%, (2) the lattice parameters perpendicular to the basal plane exhibit a discontinuous jump of $\sim$1.1% at $T_C$ instead of being continuous across $T_C$, and (3) thermal expansion perpendicular to the basal plane for $T_C \le T \le$ 315 K is negative rather than positive. We also observe a correlation between the ratio of hexagonal lattice parameters, $c/a$, and $T_S$, strongly suggesting that the degree of structural anisotropy in MnAs could play an important role in tuning $T_S$.

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.
