Sub-ångstrom Experimental Validation of Molecular Dynamics for Predictive Modeling of Extended Defect Structures in Si
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this Letter we present the detailed, quantitative comparison between experimentally and theoretically derived structures of the extended {311} defect in silicon. Agreement between experimental and theoretical column positions of better than ±0.05 nm has been achieved for all 100 atomic columns in the defect structure. This represents a calculated density of 5.5×10(14) silicon interstitials per cm(2) on {311} planes, in agreement with previous work [S. Takeda, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., Part 2, 30, L639 (1991)]. We show that although the {311} defect is made up of five-, six-, seven-, and eight-member rings, the shape of these rings varies as a function of position along the defect, and these variations can be determined experimentally with high precision and accuracy. The excellent agreement between the calculated and experimentally derived structure, including the position of atomic columns and the shape of the distinct structural units of the defect, provides strong evidence for the quality and robustness of the molecular dynamics simulation approach for structural studies of defects. The experimental approach is straightforward, without the need for complicated image processing methods, and is therefore widely applicable.

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.
