Circularly polarized luminescence from chiral thin films
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Photoluminescent nanostructured thin films have been fabricated using physical vapour deposition and the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. Precision controlled substrate motion and oblique incidence (>75<sup>o</sup>) enable the fabrication of a variety of 3-D morphologies including vertical posts, helical (chiral) columns and chevrons. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the film nanostructure. These experiments focussed on the chiral morphology which exhibits intriguing polarization behaviour such as selective transmission of circularly polarized light and circularly polarized photoluminescence. Helical films of Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>:Eu and Alq<sub>3</sub> were fabricated with thicknesses in excess of 2 μm and densities nominally 60% of bulk. Transmission spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were used to determine the degree of selective transmission of polarized light through the samples. The degree of circular polarization for the photoluminescent light emitted from helical films was measured with the use of a quarter waveplate and linear polarizer. Polarized photoluminescence efficiencies were consistent with the observed selective transmission of circularly polarized light through the films. The use of GLAD to control the nanoscale morphology of the films allows for the spectral location and strength of these polarization effects to be easily and accurately selected.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
