Exploratory Mapping of Novel Phase Behaviors in Known Materials

This research introduces a predictive framework for identifying unconventional phase behaviors in known materials, grounded in the Fundamental Conservation of Information (FCI) model proposed by Ricardo Miguel Machado Fernandes. The document translates information-theoretic predictions into classical materials science terms such as pressure-induced transitions, band structure tuning, and field-induced effects. It includes a curated table of 10 high-confidence material examples, along with two supplementary datasets: - **Curated_High_Quality_Phase_Behavior_Table.xlsx**: A focused list of 25 rigorously validated systems.- **Extended_Phase_Behavior_Table.xlsx**: An expanded exploratory dataset of 50+ materials for comparative discovery and hypothesis generation. This work is part of the author's ongoing thesis project and is released under an open-science model to support experimental validation, computational modeling, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
