Abstract
Mechanical and thermoelastic properties of optical films are very important to ensure the performance of optical interference filters and optical coating systems. We systematically study the growth and the mechanical and thermoelastic characteristics of niobium oxide (Nb(2)O(5)), tantalum oxide (Ta(2)O(5)), and silicon dioxide (SiO(2)) thin films prepared by dual ion beam sputtering. First, we investigate the stress (sigma), hardness (H), reduced Young's modulus (E(r)), and scratch resistance. Second, we focus on the methodology and assessment of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and Poisson's ratio (nu) using the two-substrate method. For the high refractive index films, namely, Nb(2)O(5) (n at 550 nm=2.30) and Ta(2)O(5) (n at 550 nm=2.13), we obtained H approximately 6 GPa, E(r) approximately 125 GPa, CTE=4.9x10(-6) degrees C(-1), nu=0.22, and H approximately 7 GPa, E(r) approximately 133 GPa, CTE=4.4x10(-6) degrees C(-1), and nu=0.27, respectively. In comparison, for SiO(2) (n at 550 nm=1.48), these values are H approximately 9.5 GPa, E(r) approximately 87 GPa, CTE=2.1x10(-6) degrees C(-1), and nu=0.11. Correlations between the growth conditions (secondary beam ion energy and ion current), the microstructure, and the film properties are discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
