Small-angle light scattering in large-amplitude oscillatory shear
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We explore wormlike micellar orientation during oscillatory shear using small-angle light scattering. Previous oscillatory-shear light scattering measurements focused on phase separation in polymeric solutions undergoing shear and none on wormlike micelles. We correlate light scattering videos of wormlike micelles undergoing oscillatory shear with molecular orientation. Specifically, we compare our orientation measurements with the predictions of rigid dumbbell theory. We find that “tulip” shaped scattering patterns caused by micellar orientation are only partially captured by the predicted scattering generated by rigid dumbbell theory. Additionally, we confirm that rigid dumbbell theory cannot describe the “butterfly” shaped scattering patterns arising from concentration fluctuations during micelle breakup. We successfully create a theory to describe both orientation and concentration fluctuation scattering by combining rigid rod Rayleigh-Debye scattering theory with flow induced Helfand-Fredrickson scattering theory.

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.
