Abstract
Abstract The production of colors by plasmonic nanostructures is an attractive prospect over dyes as they allow ultra‐high resolution, non‐fading colors. Typical techniques for producing plasmonic color patterns such as by electron beam or ion beam lithography are expensive, slow and not well scalable. This work demonstrates a simple, lithography‐free technique for producing plasmonic colors using a silver nanocube (AgNC) based nanoparticle‐over‐mirror (NPoM) system with thermally‐generated colors. AgNC's are deposited over a metal (Au or Ag) film with a polystyrene (PS) dielectric spacer. Upon heating the system past the glass‐transition temperature of PS, the AgNC embed into the polymer, reducing the AgNC/metal film distance. This results in a strong gap‐plasmon that can shift over 200 nm across the visible spectrum during the process. The thermal embedment of AgNC in NPoM systems is tunable across the visible range, producing wide, distinct color palettes depending on the metal film used. This technique can potentially be applied to plasmonic color‐patterning systems to produce high‐resolution microscale or nanoscale patterns over a large area.

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
