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).

Target entity: Brillouin zones Context triple: [Quantum Theory of Solids, topic, Brillouin zones]
-
A.
Brillouin zone
chosen
The Brillouin zone is the fundamental region of reciprocal space in a crystal lattice, defining the allowed wavevectors for electrons and underpinning the structure of electronic band diagrams.
-
B.
Bloch waves
Bloch waves are quantum-mechanical wavefunctions that describe particles, such as electrons, propagating through a periodic crystal lattice and form the basis for understanding electronic band structure in solids.
-
C.
Wigner–Seitz cell
The Wigner–Seitz cell is a primitive region of space in a crystal lattice that contains all points closer to a given lattice point than to any other, serving as a fundamental building block in solid-state physics and crystallography.
-
D.
Fermi surface
The Fermi surface is the boundary in momentum space separating occupied from unoccupied electron states at zero temperature, crucial for determining a metal’s electronic and superconducting properties.
-
E.
Fresnel zones
Fresnel zones are concentric regions on a wavefront used in wave optics to analyze and predict diffraction and interference effects, especially in near-field conditions.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
Provenance (3 batches)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
