Simple Model for Semiconductor-Metal Transitions: SmB6and Transition-Metal Oxides

Falicov, L. M., Kimball, J. C.·1969·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We propose a simple model for a semiconductor-metal transition, based on the existence of both localized (ionic) and band (Bloch) states. It differs from other theories in that we assume the one-electron states to be essentially unchanged by the transition. The electron-hole interaction is responsible for the anomalous temperature dependence of the number of conduction electrons. For interactions larger than a critical value, a first-order semiconductor-metal phase transition takes place.

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.
