Influence of Oxygen Flow and Stoichiometry on Optical Properties and Damage Resistance of Hafnium Oxide Thin Films

Hafnium oxide (HfO 2 ) is predominantly used as a high-index material in multi-layer dielectric coatings for high-peak- and high-average-power lasers, but laser damage often initiates within the HfO 2 layers despite their wide bandgap. Oxygen deficiency during deposition can introduce vacancy-related sub-bandgap states and absorptive defects, lowering damage resistance. This study investigates how oxygen flow during HfO 2 deposition with ion beam sputtering (IBS) affects its stoichiometry, defect formation, and nanosecond laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and whether single-layer trends predict multilayer performance. Single layers were deposited at varying oxygen flows, characterized for optical and structural properties, and tested for the LIDT at 1064 nm and 355 nm. Increasing oxygen flow drove the layer toward near-stoichiometric HfO 2 , reduced the refractive index, and altered the density of surface pinhole-like features. The single-layer LIDT at 355 nm increased with oxygen, whereas the 1064 nm LIDT was comparatively less sensitive to oxygen flow, consistent with the wavelength-dependent roles of absorptive precursors and microstructural defects. In contrast, a HfO 2 -based high-reflector (HR) showed a higher LIDT at lower oxygen flow, indicating that the family of damage precursors changes between single layers and multilayers; in stacks, structural properties such as stress, gas entrapment and thermal dissipation may outweigh the isolated absorptive defects found in single layers. These results demonstrate that the optimal oxygen flow condition depends on both LIDT wavelength and film architecture. We identified, for single layers, a 15–35 sccm window for maximizing the 1064 nm LIDT and a high-flow optimum (45 sccm) for the 355 nm LIDT and, for 355 nm HR stacks, a distinct lower-flow regime (~10 sccm).

Terahertz‐Nanoscale Visualization of the Microscopic Spin‐Charge Architecture of Colossal Magnetoresistive Switching

Resolving sub-10 nm spin switching and the associated terahertz (THz) electrodynamics during the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) transition is a definitive frontier in reaching the fundamental spatial, temporal, and energy-dissipation limits of spin-electronics. Yet, simultaneous control of high magnetic field, cryogenic environment, and nanometer resolution has remained an elusive benchmark for THz nanoscopy, leaving the local THz dynamics of these transitions largely unexplored. Here, we overcome these limitations by utilizing a custom-built cryogenic magneto-THz scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (cm-THz-sSNOM) to resolve the near-field THz spectroscopic evolution of the magnetic field-driven CMR transition in a manganite single crystal. Our measurements provide a nanoscale visualization of the THz conductivity, capturing the moment that magnetic-field-induced spin switching triggers the transition from an antiferromagnetic insulator to a ferromagnetic metal. An ellipsoidal near-field model reveals a multi-scale transition initiated by 1–2 nm isolated spin-flip sites at low magnetic fields, which coalesce into ∼15 nm conducting regions as the threshold field is approached. These results provide an nano-THz view of CMR switching, establishing an analysis framework for mapping spin–charge–lattice–orbit–coupled dynamics at spatial scales that transcend the nominal sSNOM resolution.

Barless flocculent galaxies: a dynamic puzzle

We draw attention to the bright galaxies that do not show a bar in their structure but have a flocculent spiral structure. Using the THINGS and HERACLES kinematic data for four barless galaxies (NGC 2841, NGC 3512, NGC 5055, NGC 7331), we built their mass models including dark haloes. We concluded that the fraction of the dark matter does not exceed 50 per cent within the optical radii of the galaxies. This is too little to explain the lack of a bar in these galaxies. In an attempt to understand the featureless structure of these galaxies, we constructed several N-body models with an initially reduced content of dark matter. We concluded that, in addition to the low mass of the dark halo, the decisive factor that leads to a barless disc is the start from an initially unstable state. An isolated dynamically cold disc (with the Toomre parameter Q < 0.5) settled into rotational equilibrium passes through the short stage of violent instability with fragmentation and formation of stellar clumps. After that, it evolves passively and ends up with a featureless structure. We assume that the barless flocculent galaxies studied in this work may be descendants of galaxies at high redshifts with rotation curves that are consistent with the high mass fraction of baryons relative to the total dark matter halo.

Procrustean entanglement concentration in quantum-classical networking

The success of a future quantum internet will rest in part on the ability of quantum and classical signals to coexist in the same optical fiber infrastructure, a challenging endeavor given the orders of magnitude differences in flux of single-photon-level quantum fields and bright classical traffic. Here, we theoretically describe and experimentally implement Procrustean entanglement concentration for polarization-entangled states contaminated with classical light, showing significant mitigation of crosstalk noise in dense wavelength-division multiplexing. Our approach leverages a pair of polarization-dependent loss emulators to attenuate highly polarized crosstalk that results from imperfect isolation of conventional signals copropagating on shared fiber links. We demonstrate our technique both on the tabletop and over a deployed quantum local area network, finding a substantial improvement of two-qubit entangled state fidelity from approximately 75% to over 92%. This local filtering technique could be used as a preliminary step to reduce asymmetric errors, potentially improving the overall efficiency when combined with more complex error-mitigation techniques in future quantum repeater networks.

Probing Local Optical Fields via Ultralow Frequency Raman Scattering from a Corrugated Probe

Here we revisit nanoscale local optical field imaging via tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). Rather than taking advantage of molecular reporters to probe different aspects of the local fields, we show how ultralow frequency Raman (ULF) scattering from the (nano-corrugated) metallic probe itself can be used for the same purpose. The bright ULF-TERS response we record allows non-invasive (tapping mode feedback) local field imaging, enables visualizing the local fields of small (down to 20 nm) isolated plasmonic particles, and can also be exploited to distinguish between Si and SiO2 domains with 5 nm spatial resolution. We describe our approach and its limitations, particularly when it comes to using all-metallic vs molecular reporters.

Superconducting coherence peak in near-field radiative heat transfer

Enhancement and peaks in near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) typically arise due to surface phonon-polaritons, plasmon-polaritons, and electromagnetic (EM) modes in structured materials. However, the role of material quantum coherence in enhancing near-field radiative heat transfer remains unexplored. Here, we unravel that NFRHT in superconductor-ferromagnetic systems displays a unique peak at the superconducting phase transition that originates from the quantum coherence of Bogoliubov quasiparticles in superconductors. Our theory takes into account evanescent EM radiation emanating from fluctuating currents related to Cooper pairs and Bogoliubov quasiparticles in stark contrast to the current-current correlations induced by free electrons in conventional materials. Our proposed NFRHT configuration exploits ferromagnetic resonance at frequencies deep inside the superconducting band gap to isolate this superconducting coherence peak. Furthermore, we reveal that Cooper pairs and Bogoliubov quasiparticles have opposite effects on near-field thermal radiation and isolate their effects on many-body radiative heat transfer near superconductors. As a result, our proposed phenomenon can have applications for developing thermal isolators and heat sinks in superconducting circuits.

Tunable Electronic Energy Level Alignment and Exciton Diversity in Organic–Inorganic van der Waals Heterostructures

van der Waals stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials offers a powerful platform for engineering material interfaces with tailored electronic and optical properties. While most van der Waals multilayers have featured inorganic monolayers, incorporating molecular monolayers introduces additional degrees of tunability and functionality. Here, in this study, we investigate hybrid bilayers composed of atomically thin perylene-based molecular crystals interfaced with monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), specifically MoS 2 and WS 2 . Using the ab initio many-body perturbation theory within the GW approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach, we predict emergent properties beyond those of the isolated constituent systems. Notably, we find substantial renormalization of monolayer molecular crystal band gap due to TMD-induced polarization. Furthermore, by varying the TMD monolayer, we demonstrate tuning of the energy level alignment of the bilayer and subsequent control over a diversity of lowest-energy excitons, which include strongly bound hybrid excitons and long-lived charge-transfer excitons. These findings establish organic-inorganic van der Waals heterostructures as a promising class of materials for tunable optoelectronic devices and quantum excitonic phenomena, expanding the design space for low-dimensional systems.

Accessibility and Reactivity of Pentavalent Plutonium under Alkaline Conditions

Plutonium exhibits a particularly complex and rich aqueous chemistry due to a dynamic redox equilibrium that can result in the coexistence of four different oxidation states in aqueous solution. Within this equilibrium, pentavalent plutonium is among the most soluble and dominant oxidation states of Pu in neutral to alkaline aqueous solutions of relevance to environmental chemistries and the extreme chemical environments encountered in high-level radioactive wastes. Despite this, the fundamental chemistry of Pu(V) under such conditions remains poorly understood. Here, in this study, we demonstrate the redox accessibility of Pu(V) in alkaline media based on the observations of an electrochemically reversible Pu(VI/V) couple at E 1/2 = 0.19 V vs Hg/HgO (0.29 V vs NHE), allowing us to electrolytically generate Pu(V) in alkaline solution. These Pu(V) solutions remained stable under ambient conditions for at least 9 days before precipitation of crystalline Na 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O, the first structurally characterized Pu(V) hydroxide. The modest potential of the Pu(VI/V) redox couple allowed us to reproduce Na 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O synthetically as well as isolate two additional novel Pu(V)-bearing hydroxide phases Na[Pu V O 2 (OH) 2 (H 2 O)]·2.5H 2 O and K 2 [Pu V O 2 (OH) 3 ]·2H 2 O as single crystals from alkaline reactions under mild hydrothermal conditions (<200 °C) using Na 2 O 2 and KO 2 as reductants. This reactivity is rationalized and informed by our electrochemical measurements. The properties of the Pu(V) solids were further characterized by using vibrational and optical spectroscopy.

Partial Premixing Effects on the Reacting Jet of a High-Pressure Axially Staged Combustor

The effects of partial premixing on a reacting jet-in-crossflow is investigated in a five atmosphere axially staged combustor at stationary gas turbine relevant conditions. The facility consists of a dump style headend burner that provides a crossflow with a quasi-uniform velocity and temperature profile to the axial stage to isolate the effects of the jet-in-crossflow. The headend burner is run with methane and air at a lean equivalence ratio to match industry emission standards. For this work, the total air to the headend and axial stage is kept constant, and fuel is split between the headend and axial stage to represent different gas turbine loading conditions. For the cases analyzed, the fuel split to the axial stage went up to 25%. The axial stage consists of an optically accessible test section with a coaxial injector that provides variability to how long the methane and air can mix before entering the facility. Three different premixed levels are studied: fully premixed, nonpremixed, and partially premixed. The flow-field characteristics of the reacting jet-in-crossflow are analyzed using particle image velocimetry (PIV), and flame behavior is quantified by employing CH* chemiluminescence. NO measurements are made at the exit of the facility using a Horiba emissions analyzer. Furthermore, two different flames are observed: flames that burn in the leeward recirculation region and flames that burn at the core of the jet.

Limitations of cetane number to predict transient combustion phenomena in high-pressure fuel sprays

Fundamental understanding of in-cylinder processes in diesel engines is important to screen emerging biofuels and advanced combustion modes that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and regulated pollutants including soot. In this study, the role of fuel properties on spray development and combustion is investigated by systematically isolating chemical and thermophysical effects. Three different fuels are considered, two with similar chemical properties and two with similar thermophysical properties with one fuel common to both groups. Experiments are performed in a constant-pressure flow chamber de-signed to provide stable test conditions and facilitate acquisition of at least 150 injections in quick succession for each fuel under reacting conditions at high-pressure, high-temperature ambient conditions using a modified conventional diesel engine injector. Further, high speed optical diagnostics including rainbow schlieren deflectometry, OH* chemiluminescence, and a two-color pyrometry system are employed to simultaneously image the transient spray and reacting jets. Image analysis is performed to determine liquid length, vapor penetration length, timing and location of first stage and main ignition events, lift-off location, total soot mass, and more. Results show that fuels with similar chemical properties or cetane number (CN) exhibit similar delay times for first stage and main ignition events as may be expected, but very different liquid length, first stage and main ignition locations, lift-off length, apparent turbulent flame speed, and soot formation. As such, the ability to characterize candidate biofuels with CN or other parameters derived from simple flame configurations is called into question. In this study, thermo-physical properties controlling the liquid length are identified as the main contributing factor for the observed differences.

A Rapid and High Throughput MIC Determination Method to Screen Uranium Resistant Microorganisms

The assessment of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is a conventional technique used for the screening of microbial resistance against antibiotics, biocides, and contaminants such as heavy metals. However, as part of our ongoing work, we have observed biases associated with using traditional liquid MIC method to screen microbial heavy metal resistance, including both bacterial and fungal strains. Specifically, the addition of uranium into synthetic media causes immediate precipitation prior to the initiation of microbial growth, thus hampering the optical density measurements, and the obtained MIC values are thus flawed and inaccurate. To address this discrepancy, we report the optimization and development of a serial-dilution-based MIC method conducted on solid growth media supplemented with uranium, which is more accurate, relative to the testing of MICs performed in liquid cultures. Notably, we report on the efficacy of this method to screen not only bacteria that are resistant to uranium but also demonstrate the successful application to yeast and fungal isolates, for their ability to resist uranium, is more accurate and sensitive relative to the liquid method. We believe that this newly developed method to screen heavy metal resistance, such as uranium, is far superior to the existing liquid MIC method and propose replacing the liquid assay with the solid plate MIC reported herein.

Purification of native histidine-rich protein 2 (nHRP2) from Plasmodium falciparum culture supernatant, infected RBCs, and parasite lysate

Background: Despite the widespread use of histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), purified native HRP2 antigen is not standardly used in research applications or assessment of RDTs used in the field. Methods: This report describes the purification of native HRP2 (nHRP2) from the HB3 Plasmodium falciparum culture strain. As this culture strain lacks pfhrp3 from its genome, it is an excellent source of HRP2 protein only and does not produce the closely-related HRP3. The nHRP2 protein was isolated from culture supernatant, infected red blood cells (iRBCs), and whole parasite lysate using nickel-metal chelate chromatography. Biochemical characterization of nHRP2 from HB3 culture was conducted by SDS-PAGE and western blotting, and nHRP2 was assayed by RDT, ELISA, and bead-based immunoassay. Results: Purified nHRP2 was identified by SDS-PAGE and western blot as a –60 kDa protein that bound anti-HRP-2 monoclonal antibodies. Mouse anti-HRP2 monoclonal antibody was found to produce high optical density readings between dilutions of 1:100 and 1:3,200 by ELISA with assay signal observed up to a 1:200,000 dilution. nHRP2 yield from HB3 culture by bead-based immunoassay revealed that both culture supernatant and iRBC lysate were practical sources of large quantities of this antigen, producing a total yield of 292.4 µg of nHRP2 from two pooled culture preparations. Assessment of nHRP2 recognition by RDTs revealed that Carestart Pf HRP2 and HRP2/pLDH RDTs detected purified nHRP2 when applied at concentrations between 20.6 and 2060 ng/mL, performing within a log-fold dilution of commercially-available recombinant HRP2. The band intensity observed for the nHRP2 dilutions was equivalent to that observed for P. falciparum culture strain dilutions of 3D7 and US06 F Nigeria XII between 12.5 and 1000 parasites/µL. Conclusions: Purified nHRP2 could be a valuable reagent for laboratory applications as well as assessment of new and existing RDTs prior to their use in clinical settings. These results establish that it is possible to extract microgram quantities of the native HRP2 antigen from HB3 culture and that this purified protein is well recognized by existing monoclonal antibody lines and RDTs.

Quantum interferometry and pathway selectivity in the nonlinear response of photosynthetic excitons

We propose a time–frequency resolved spectroscopic technique which employs nonlinear interferometers to study exciton–exciton scattering in molecular aggregates. A higher degree of control over the contributing Liouville pathways is obtained as compared to classical light. We show how the nonlinear response can be isolated from the orders-of-magnitude stronger linear background by either phase matching or polarization filtering. Both arise due to averaging the signal over a large number of noninteracting, randomly oriented molecules. We apply our technique to the Frenkel exciton model which excludes charge separation for the photosystem II reaction center. We show how the sum of the entangled photon frequencies can be used to select two-exciton resonances, while their delay times reveal the single-exciton levels involved in the optical process.

High-frequency electrical behavior in V 3 O 5 thin films

Vanadium oxides are known for their metal–insulator transition (MIT), with V 3 O 5 being notable for its transition temperature exceeding room temperature. At about 430 K, this material shows a change in crystal symmetry accompanied with one order of magnitude increase in its electrical conductivity and alterations in its optical properties. Although the property changes during the MIT in V 3 O 5 are less pronounced than those observed in VO 2 , its transition temperature is 90 K higher, making it appealing for applications requiring elevated temperatures. In this article, the high-frequency characteristics were determined in a V 3 O 5 two-terminal device in the range from 5 to 35 GHz. The S-parameters showed that the return loss at room temperature was close to −1.5 dB, and the isolation between ports was approximately −50 dB. At temperatures above the metal–insulator transition, the isolation decreased to around −40 dB at 35 GHz. For S11 and S22, similar behavior was observed at room temperature, with a notable change in the S-parameter phase of the device. This behavior suggests that V 3 O 5 may function well as a capacitor because the considerable change in phase could control the flow of electrical signals in devices. This property also may be used for matching purposes, especially considering its response to temperature changes. Additionally, conductivity calculation from S-parameters shows a decrease of approximately two orders of magnitude at 500 K and one order of magnitude at 300 K compared to DC values. These findings highlight V 3 O 5 potential for integration into radio frequency devices that demand consistent performance in high-temperature environments.

NIST: Soil Respiration, Moisture, Temperature, Chemistry; and Fine Root Measurements from a Transect Through a Forest Edge, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 2017-2021

This dataset contains soil respiration, moisture, temperature, and chemistry, as well as fine root measurements from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Forested Optical Reference for Evaluating Sensor Technology (FOREST) research facility at Gaithersburg, Maryland. Measurements were taken at an existing transect array that begins in a grassy meadow, crosses a sharp forest edge, then a small stream, and finally extends upwards in the interior of the forest at the top of a ridge. There are 6 different landscape positions replicated across three transects in the array. Soil respiration was measured during growing seasons in 2017-2019 (2017-06-02 to 2020-02-27). Pedons (1 m3) were isolated from surrounding tree roots using trenching and a fabric to inhibit root ingrowth. Flux measurements inside the pedons were thus assumed to represent heterotrophic only respiration in 2019, and these fluxes were paired with nearby fluxes assumed to represent total respiration. Deep vertical probes measured volumetric moisture content and temperature at the same points in the array every 10 cm in depth to either 90 cm or 120 cm total depth, at 15 minute intervals, from 2019-2021 (2019-07-09 to 2021-09-10). Soil core samples were collected from each of the array points for three different months in early- to mid-2019 (2019-03-19 to 2019-07-10), at three depths each. Soils were analyzed for gravimetric moisture content; pH; total carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; texture; microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; extractable dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus; extractable nitrate and ammonia; and extracellular hydrolytic enzyme activities. The fine roots were separated from the cores and segregated by plant functional type (grass or tree species) and if they were dead or alive. Fine roots were then measured for length, surface area, diameter, and dry mass. This dataset contains four data files in comma separated (*.csv) format. These data serve to deepen our understanding of root and soil processes at forest edges and in transitional zones.

ITER ECH Transmission Line System Design and Status

The electron cyclotron (EC) heating & current drive (H&CD) system on ITER provides plasma heating by generating, transmitting, and launching high-intensity, high-frequency (170 GHz) electromagnetic wave energy steerable across the plasma cross-section. The transmission line (TL) subsystem connects the Matching Optics Unit (MOU) on each of the 24 gyrotrons to the 32 feed points in the four upper launchers and the 24 feed points in the equatorial launcher. Each TL must be able to operate at up to 1.2 MW of input power for up to 1 hour pulse lengths. The TL system contains 50 mm water-cooled corrugated waveguide, 90o miter bends, 140o miter bends, polarizer miter bend pairs, switches, expansion units, pumpouts, DC breaks, MOU-TL adapters, Radio Frequency (RF) loads, and isolation shutter valves. A detailed finite element analysis has been used to verify the thermo-mechanical performance of each component. The microwave performance has been analyzed using a 2-D electromagnetic code combined with a Monte Carlo code. This approach allows the impact of manufacturing and installation tolerances to be assessed and optimized to provide a high probability of achieving the system performance requirements. Prototypes of the waveguide and TL components have been fabricated and tested at high-power. Production contracts are now being issued for fabrication and delivery of the waveguide and components to ITER.

The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – III. The Large Magellanic Cloud

ABSTRACT We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ≃ 90 deg2 of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) derived using optical (ugriz) and near-infrared (IR; YJKs) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of background galaxies. The reddening map is created from a sample of 222 752 early-type galaxies based on the lephareχ2 minimization SED-fitting routine. We find excellent agreement between the regions of enhanced intrinsic reddening across the central (4 × 4 deg2) region of the LMC and the morphology of the low-level pervasive dust emission as traced by far-IR emission. In addition, we are able to distinguish smaller, isolated enhancements that are coincident with known star-forming regions and the clustering of young stars observed in morphology maps. The level of reddening associated with the molecular ridge south of 30 Doradus is, however, smaller than in the literature reddening maps. The reduced number of galaxies detected in this region, due to high extinction and crowding, may bias our results towards lower reddening values. Our map is consistent with maps derived from red clump stars and from the analysis of the star formation history across the LMC. This study represents one of the first large-scale categorizations of extragalactic sources behind the LMC and as such we provide the lephare outputs for our full sample of ∼ 2.5 million sources.

An embedded interfacial network stabilizes inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite thin films

Abstract The black perovskite phase of CsPbI 3 is promising for optoelectronic applications; however, it is unstable under ambient conditions, transforming within minutes into an optically inactive yellow phase, a fact that has so far prevented its widespread adoption. Here we use coarse photolithography to embed a PbI 2 -based interfacial microstructure into otherwise-unstable CsPbI 3 perovskite thin films and devices. Films fitted with a tessellating microgrid are rendered resistant to moisture-triggered decay and exhibit enhanced long-term stability of the black phase (beyond 2.5 years in a dry environment), due to increasing the phase transition energy barrier and limiting the spread of potential yellow phase formation to structurally isolated domains of the grid. This stabilizing effect is readily achieved at the device level, where unencapsulated CsPbI 3 perovskite photodetectors display ambient-stable operation. These findings provide insights into the nature of phase destabilization in emerging CsPbI 3 perovskite devices and demonstrate an effective stabilization procedure which is entirely orthogonal to existing approaches.
