Proton NMR Relaxation Study on the Nematic–Nematic Phase Transition in A131 Liquid Crystal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A study of the proton NMR spin-lattice relaxation time, T(1), of the A131 liquid crystal compound as a function of temperature and Larmor frequency, using a combination of fast field-cycling and standard NMR techniques, is presented. The frequency dispersion in a wide range (from 10 kHz to 300 MHz) at different temperatures and the temperature variation of T(1), in several frequency conditions, were analyzed considering the contributions of the molecular movements generally detected in liquid crystals. In the case of nematic phases of calamitic liquid crystals, the nuclear spin relaxation is dominated by collective movements and local molecular reorientations. The experimental results clearly show a transition within the nematic range of this compound, previously identified as one from the uniaxial to the biaxial phase. This transition can be associated with a slowing down of the molecular rotations around the long molecular axis, where the preferred orientation defines the principal director as detected in the T(1) dispersion analysis.

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.
