Multilayer route to iron nanoparticle formation in an insulating matrix
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Well-protected, isolated bcc-iron nanoparticles embedded in silicon dioxide were prepared by e-beam evaporation and postannealing of multilayers in an ultrahigh vacuum system. The spherical shape and isolation of the particles were confirmed by plan-view and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy. Oxidation was evaluated from the electron energy-loss near edge structure. In this technique, a postedge peak of 40eV above the iron L3 threshold, originating from backscattering of oxygen atoms, provides a clear indication of iron oxide. The white-line ratio (WLR), measuring the 3d-orbital occupancy, is used to estimate the oxidation-layer thickness. In the samples of large iron nanoparticles (with average diameter larger than 10nm), a very thin surface layer appears to be the oxide maghemite, approximately one atomic layer according to the WLR evaluations. The evolution of the coercivity with particle size, as measured by the magneto-optical Kerr effect, shows that the reversal process is dominated by the surface anisotropy and is also affected by the dipole interaction, particularly in samples with large volume-filling factor.

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.
