Ordered Structure Rearrangements in Heated Gold Nanocrystal Superlattices
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data reveal that superlattices of organic ligand-stabilized gold (Au) nanocrystals can undergo a series of ordered structure transitions at elevated temperature. An example is presented of a body-centered cubic superlattice that evolves into a hexagonal close-packed structure, followed by the formation of binary simple cubic AB13 and hexagonal AB5 superlattices. Ultimately the superlattice decomposes at high temperature to bicontinuous domains of coalesced Au and intervening hydrocarbon. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the ordered structure transformations result from partial ligand desorption and controlled Au nanocrystal growth during heating, which forces changes in superlattice symmetry. These observations suggest some similarity between organic ligand-coated nanocrystals and microphase-segregated diblock copolymers, where thermally induced nanophase-segregation of Au and organic ligand influences the ordered arrangements in the superlattice.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
