Zinc Porphyrin‐Driven Assembly of Gold Nanofingers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nanofingers of gold covered by porphyrins are prepared by a combination of atomic manipulation and surface self-organization. A submonolayer of zinc(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-porphyrin (ZnTBPP) axially ligated to a self-assembled monolayer of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) on Au(111) is prepared and studied using a combination of ultrahigh vacuum techniques. Under the electric field produced by the STM tip, the relatively weakly bound Au surface atoms along the discommensuration lines become mobile due to the strong bond to 4-ATP, while the tendency of the porphyrins towards self-assembly result in a collective motion of gold clusters. The clusters diffuse onto the surface following well-defined pathways along the [112] direction and then reach the step edges where they assembled, thus forming nanofingers. First-principles density functional theory calculations demonstrate the reduction of the binding energies between the surface gold clusters and the substrate induced by adsorption of thiols. Scanning tunneling microscopy images show assemblies across three adjacent discommensuration lines of the Au(111)-(22 x square root 3) reconstruction, which collectively diffuse along these lines to form islands nucleated at step edges.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
