Four Types of CdTe Magic-Size Clusters from One Prenucleation Stage Sample at Room Temperature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Four types of colloidal semiconductor CdTe magic-size clusters (MSCs), each of which is in a single-ensemble form, have been obtained at room temperature from a single induction period (IP) sample in dispersion. The induction period is the prenucleation stage that occurs prior to nucleation and growth of colloidal quantum dots (QDs). Three types display sharp optical absorption peaking at either 371, 417, or 448 nm, and the fourth type exhibits a sharp absorption doublet with peaks at 350 and 371 nm. These MSCs are respectively denoted as sMSC-371, sMSC-417, sMSC-448, and dMSC-371. We show that the evolution of the various MSCs is affected by the nature of their dispersions. We hypothesize that the evolution of MSCs involves their precursor compounds (PCs), which are transparent in optical absorption. The present study explores new avenues for the exclusive synthesis of four types of CdTe MSCs (with each in a single-ensemble form) and provides an improved understanding for their formation.

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.
