Electrodeposition of Nanoscale SixGe1-x from an Air- and Water Stable Ionic Liquid
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report for the first successful electrodeposition of highly pure SixGe1-x from the air- and water stable ionic liquid 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([Py1,4]Tf2N) containing GeCl4 and SiCl4 as precursors. The electrodeposition is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and high resolution scanning electron microscopy. SixGe1-x can be deposited reproducibly and easily in this ionic liquid. Interestingly, the SixGe1-x deposit showed a strong colour change (from red to blue) at room temperature during electrodeposition. The observed colours are strong hints for band gaps between at least 1.5 and 3.2 eV, which are indicative of a quantum size effect. This proves the potential of ionic liquids in the electrodeposition of high quality SixGe1-x.

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.
