Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

PdDT and PtDT nanosheets are predicted to be promising selective NO gas sensors because NO adsorption induces magnetism and greatly enhances conductance, while CO and O2 interact weakly.

Caveat: Prediction only; no experimental sensing devices are fabricated in this paper.

p010 · Conclusions · Linked to 8 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The article cites prior synthesis of CoDT, NiDT, and PdDT nanosheets but reports no first-hand experimental synthesis route for any MDT model in this study.

Caveat: Synthesis routes are intentionally omitted under the computational-paper rule.

p003 · Introduction / Computational details

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

O2 adsorption on FeDT and CoDT produces half-metallic electronic structures with semiconducting up-spin channels and metallic down-spin channels.

Caveat: DFT prediction; no experimental magnetic/electronic validation reported.

p008 · Electronic properties · Fig. 8 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

NO adsorption changes transport through interfacial charge transfer and strong hybridisation between metal d states and NO pi* states.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is computational and based on PDOS/band structures.
