Abstract
The thermal stability, alignment and electro-optic properties of liquid crystals can be fundamentally altered by dispersing small amounts of solid nanoparticles in a liquid crystal host. In the present study, the local alignment of the liquid crystal in such dispersions is studied by means of polarising optical microscopy and fluorescence confocal polarising microscopy. The results of two- and three-dimensional imaging indicate that birefringent stripes, which are induced by the presence of nanoparticles, correspond to twist disclinations that are located at the liquid crystal–substrate interface. The luminescence of dispersed semiconductor quantum dots shows that the ends of disclination threads are pinned to conglomerates of nanoparticles, which stabilise these line defects.

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
