Metal-insulator transitions
Abstract
The valence and conduction bands in semi-conductors normally owe their properties to their crystal structures. Sometimes changes in pressure or composition in mixed crystals can lead to an overlap between these bands, which results in a transition to metallic behaviour. Repulsion between electrons can also lead to the formation of two bands, which may or may not overlap; again metal-insulator transitions can occur. The most important and controversial question about these transitions is whether they are accompanied by a discontinuous change in the density of current carriers; the evidence for and against this is described. Applications are to vanadium trioxide and highly doped silicon and germanium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
