Abstract
We report the bulk preparation of nanocrystalline Si−SiO 2 ( nc- Si/SiO 2 ) composites via straightforward reductive thermal annealing of a well-defined molecular precursor, hydrogen silsesquioxane. The presented method affords quantitative yields of composite powders in large quantities. Freestanding, hydride-surface-terminated silicon nanocrystals that photoluminesce throughout the visible spectrum are readily liberated from nc- Si/SiO 2 composite powders upon etching in ethanol−water solutions of hydrofluoric acid. Composites and freestanding particles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT−IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

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
