Abstract
The ballistic transport and junction stability of epitaxial Au, grown on Si (111) and (001) substrates via electrodeposition, have been investigated as a function of Au thickness (6.7–14.1 nm). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with ballistic emission electron microscopy (BEEM) showed hot electron transmission for diodes with Au thicknesses greater than 7 nm, whereas for thinner samples surface or interfacial oxidation meant that macroscopic current-voltage characteristics gave high barrier heights (0.8 eV) but no detectable BEEM transport at room temperature. Diodes that remained electrically stable for several months after exposure to air also show an atomically abrupt and epitaxial Au/Si interface via cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Degradation in rectifying diode properties through surface or interfacial reactions is indicated by poorer STM images and decreasing or no BEEM transmission, correlated with the formation of a continuous interfacial layer.

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
