The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Based on the systematic magnetotransport measurement under pressure, we demonstrate that the superconductivity occurs following a significant electronic structure modulation possibly due to pressure induced structural changes near 6 GPa, which coincides with dramatic enhancement of the magnetoresistance (MR) reaching up to 1400 percent.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that the observed superconductivity is directly linked to the pressure-induced structural changes and Fermi surface reconstruction near 6 GPa, as inferred from the coincidence with MR enhancement and DFT results, without direct structural measurements in the abstract.

C3one line summary

Pressure above 6 GPa drives ZrTe5 into a metallic state with superconductivity at 1.8 K, linked to Fermi surface reconstruction with emerging hole pockets.
