Abstract
To optimize the functioning of electronics and photonic devices, we need to understand the underlying mechanisms that govern their behaviors during operation. We already have access to a variety of techniques for characterizing device performance during equilibrium; however, we have limited options for making measurements during device operation. A recent development in scanning voltage microscopy (SVM) has enabled the characterization of the internal behavior of operating devices. The work at the Khalifa University of Science and Research in the United Arab Emirates and the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, is focused on using SVM to measure the electrical properties of quantum cascade and interband cascade lasers. The first article, "Scanning Voltage Microscopy for Emerging Electronic and Photonic Devices" by Mahmud et al., discusses the fabrication process of the nanotips and the effects of the nanotip shape on its measurement ability.

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
