NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).

A.
Bragg's law
Bragg's law is a fundamental equation in X-ray crystallography that relates the angles at which X-rays are diffracted by crystal lattice planes to the spacing between those planes.
-
B.
Davisson–Germer experiment
The Davisson–Germer experiment was a landmark 1927 physics experiment that demonstrated the wave nature of electrons through diffraction from a nickel crystal, providing key evidence for quantum mechanics and wave–particle duality.
-
C.
Neumann’s principle in crystallography
Neumann’s principle in crystallography is a fundamental rule stating that the symmetry elements of any physical property of a crystal must include the symmetry elements of the crystal’s point group.
-
D.
Zernike phase-contrast method
The Zernike phase-contrast method is a microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through transparent specimens into intensity differences, enabling detailed visualization of living cells and other unstained samples.
