Effects of spin-orbit coupling and thermal expansion on the phonon-limited resistivity of Pb from first principles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using density functional theory calculations with spin-orbit coupling (SOC), we report on the temperature-dependent thermodynamic properties of Pb: electrical resistivity, thermal expansion (TE), heat capacity, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivative. For the former, we employed the state-of-the-art ab initio Boltzmann transport equation formalism, and we calculated the effect of TE. In accordance with previous work, we show that SOC improves the description of the phonon dispersion and the resistivity. We argue that this is caused by a joint mutual effect of an increase in the electronic nesting and an increase in the electron-phonon coupling. Interestingly, including TE incorporates nonlinearity into the resistivity at high temperatures, whose magnitude depends on whether SOC is included or not. We suggest that mechanisms beyond the quasiharmonic approximation should be considered to get a better description of Pb with SOC at high 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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
