Re-assembly and test of COMB dipole magnet with STAR® wires

Fermilab is developing the Conductor on Molded Barrel (COMB) magnet technology that works well with round REBCO conductors. COMB-STAR-1 magnet based on STAR wire by AMPeers was fabricated and tested in liquid nitrogen in 2023. The magnet demonstrated >90 Ic retention in the coils (before/after winding). Even though the magnet was not originally designed for operation at lower than 77 K temperatures, it was decided to test it in liquid helium to: - check the instrumentation and the DAQ system; - check the ability to detect resistive transitions or quenches and to protect the magnet; - gather the information on possible magnet design chances and upgrades of the test facility for future testing of HTS magnets. The magnet was re-assembled with a larger iron yoke and the axial supports and tested in liquid helium in 2024 at Fermilab s Vertical Magnet Test Facility (VMTF). It was the first HTS magnet test at that facility ever.

Charge correlations suppress unconventional pairing in the Holstein model

In a recent work by Schrodi et al. [Phys. Rev. B. 104, L140506 (2021)], the authors find an unconventional superconducting state with a sign-changing order parameter using the Migdal-Eliashberg theory, including the first vertex correction. This unconventional solution arises despite using an isotropic bare electron-phonon coupling in the Hamiltonian. We examine this claim using hybrid quantum Monte Carlo for a single-band Holstein model with a cuprate-like noninteracting band structure and identical parameters to Schrodi et al.. Our Monte Carlo results for these parameters suggest that unconventional pairing correlations do not exceed their noninteracting values at any carrier concentration we have checked. Instead, strong charge-density-wave correlations persist at the lowest accessible temperatures for dilute and nearly half-filled bands. As a result, we present arguments for how vertex-corrected Migdal-Eliashberg calculation schemes can lead to uncontrolled results in the presence of Fermi surface nesting.

Finite-temperature phase diagram of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix model on the lattice

We investigate the thermal phase structure of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase matrix model using nonperturbative lattice Monte Carlo calculations. Our main analyses span 3 orders of magnitude in the coupling, involving systems with sizes up to 𝑁𝜏 =24 lattice sites and SU⁡(𝑁) gauge groups with 8 ≤𝑁 ≤16. In addition, we carry out extended checks of discretization artifacts for 𝑁𝜏 ≤128 and gauge group SU(4). We find results for the deconfinement temperature that interpolate between the perturbative prediction at weak coupling and the large-𝑁 dual supergravity calculation at strong coupling. While we confirm that the phase transition is first order for strong coupling, it appears to be continuous for weaker couplings.

Characterizing and Improving the Thermal Stability of Organic Photovoltaics Based on Halogen-Rich Non-Fullerene Acceptors

In this work, the thermal stability of inverted, halogen-rich non-fullerene acceptor (NFA)-based organic photovoltaics (OPVs) with MoO x as the hole transporting layer is studied at temperatures up to 80°C. Over time, the power conversion efficiency shows a “check-mark” shaped thermal aging pattern, featuring an early decrease, followed by a long-term recovery. A high Cl concentration at the BHJ/MoO x interface in the thermally aged device is found using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the MoO x is chlorinated after thermal aging. With bulk quantum efficiency analysis, we propose an explanation to the check-mark shaped pattern. Inserting a thin C 70 layer between the BHJ and MoO x suppresses the thermal degradation mechanisms, resulting in 3 orders of magnitude increase in device lifetime at 80°C.

Double-sided electron energy analyzer for measurement of non-Maxwellian electron energy distributions

Here, a double-sided electron energy analyzer is developed for studies of magnetic reconnection. It can measure electron energy distribution functions along two directions opposite to each other at the same time. Each side is composed of a floating reference grid, an energy selector grid, and a collector plate. The voltage of the selector grid is swept from –40 to 0 V with respect to the reference grid with a frequency of 1 MHz. This fast sweeping is required to resolve sub-Alfvénic changes in plasma quantities of the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment, where the typical Alfvénic time is a few microseconds. The reliability of the energy analyzer is checked in Maxwellian plasmas away from the reconnection region. In this case, the electron temperature computed from the electron energy distribution function agrees with measurements of a reference triple Langmuir probe. When it is located near the reconnection region, the temperatures of the tail electron population from both sides, facing into the electron flow and facing away from it, exceed the bulk electron temperature measured by the Langmuir probe by a factor of about 2.

Effect of water vapor and thermal history on nuclear waste feed conversion to glass

Water affects the glass melting process by interacting with the foam layer at the glass melt surface and by influencing the batch conversion reactions. Water vapor from the nuclear waste slurry feed maintains a high water vapor pressure in the melter atmosphere. To investigate to what extent water vapor affects the vitrification of nuclear waste in joule-heated, cold-top melters, a series of feed expansion experiments were performed under humid and dry atmospheres using samples of low-activity waste (LAW) melter feed simulants. Melting of feed pellets in the presence of water vapor slightly decreased the temperature of primary foam onset, but did not significantly affect the feed volume expansion by foaming or the foam-collapse temperature. Sets of feed expansion experiments and evolved gas analyses were also performed to check the effect of thermal history on LAW feed samples tested as direct slurry, loose powder, and slow- and fast-dried pellets.

Direct Expansion Heat Pump Using High Glide Low GWP Refrigerant

Next generation of refrigerants require drastically lower global warming potential (GWP). The refrigerant mixtures, with a GWP < 150, e.g., R-457A, etc., tend to have significant temperature glide, which prefer multi-row, cross counter flow configuration. Typical heat pump operation reverses the refrigerant flow direction, compared to the air flow, from cooling mode to heating mode. It is difficult to configurate cross counter-flow heat exchangers in heat pumps. We invented an innovative configuration, having check valve assembly to maintain uniform cross counter flow configuration in both cooling and heat modes, which optimizes the performance of a high temperature slide refrigerant mixture, i.e. R-457A. Based on it, we developed a laboratory prototype, using a 2-stage compressor, achieved a cooling SEER (cooling seasonal energy efficiency rating) of 16.0 (cooling seasonal COP of 4.69) and a heating HSPF (heating seasonal performance factor) > 9.5 (heating seasonal COP of 2.78). The unit was tested in an extensive ambient condition, heating operation from 5˚F to 62˚F (-15˚C to 16.7˚C); cooling operation from 82˚F to 95˚F (27.8˚C to 35˚C). The paper will introduce the system configuration, heat exchanger dimensions and laboratory investigations.

A Simple Criterion for Feasibility of Heat Integration between Distillation Streams Based on Relative Volatilities

In a multicomponent distillation configuration, there are numerous sources and sinks of heat, and a potential way to reduce the heat duty requirement is to perform heat integration. Unfortunately, an algorithmic search of the optimal heat integration opportunities is intractable when the required temperatures of intermediate streams are computed via complex models. Instead, in this work, we introduce pressure-scaled pseudo relative volatility, a new metric to compare stream temperatures. Here, we justify the use of pseudo relative volatility by proving that this variable is a monotonically increasing function of the liquid fraction in a saturated mixture stream. Using this metric, we derive a shortcut criterion to check the feasibility of various heat integration opportunities, such as thermal coupling via heat transfer (TCH). The advantage of this approach is that it circumvents the need for explicit temperatures and instead relies on composition, component relative volatilities, and pressure—quantities that are readily available in shortcut models for optimization of distillation configurations. Leveraging this fact, we propose a new optimization framework that identifies feasible TCHs that we consider within the formulation while minimizing the total heat duty of a distillation configuration. We demonstrate, on a few examples, that our formulation can identify heat duty efficient configurations, some of which are multieffect configurations. Using this methodology, we discover configurations that are not only simpler than the fully thermally coupled (FTC) configuration but also have a much lower heat duty.

Perturbative Stability and Error-Correction Thresholds of Quantum Codes

Topologically ordered phases are stable to local perturbations, and topological quantum error-correcting codes enjoy thresholds to local errors. We connect the two notions of stability by constructing classical statistical mechanics models for decoding general Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes and classical linear codes. Our construction encodes correction success probabilities under uncorrelated bit-flip and phase-flip errors, and simultaneously describes a generalized ℤ 2 lattice-gauge theory with quenched disorder. We observe that the clean limit of the latter is precisely the discretized imaginary-time path integral of the corresponding quantum code Hamiltonian when the errors are turned into a perturbative 𝑋 or 𝑍 magnetic field. Motivated by error-correction considerations, we define general order parameters for all such generalized ℤ 2 lattice-gauge theories, and show that they are generally lower bounded by success probabilities of error correction. For CSS codes satisfying the low-density parity-check condition and with a sufficiently large code distance, we prove the existence of a low-temperature ordered phase of the corresponding lattice-gauge theories, particularly for those lacking Euclidean spatial locality and/or when there is a nonzero code rate. We further argue that these results provide evidence for stable phases in the corresponding perturbed quantum Hamiltonians, obtained in the limit of continuous imaginary time. To do so, we distinguish space- and timelike defects in the lattice-gauge theory. A high free-energy cost of spacelike defects corresponds to a successful “memory experiment” and suppresses the energy splitting among the ground states, while a high free-energy cost of timelike defects corresponds to a successful “stability experiment” and points to a nonzero gap to local excitations.

Comparative Study of TESS Photometry and Radial Velocities on Six Early K-type Contact Binaries with Similar Periods around 0.268 Day

High-precision light curves were extracted from TESScut images. Together with APOGEE and LAMOST medium-resolution spectra, a joint study was made for six early K-type contact binary candidates selected unbiasedly with orbital periods around 0.268 day. It is found that all of them (RV CVn, EK Com, V384 Ser, V1038 Her, EH CVn, and CSS_J125403.7+503945) are W-subtype shallow contact systems, though with different mass ratios (1/q = 0.27–0.62). The effective temperature differences between the binary components are around a few hundred kelvins. The original definitions of the A and W subtypes were compared with the customarily used methods, which rely on the shape or photometric solutions of the light curves. The latter two methods are not always reliable; therefore, the radial velocity analysis is strongly recommended. Through a collection of all available K-type contact binaries with both photometric and spectroscopic measurements, it is found that almost all of them are W-subtype systems, except for a few objects that have nearly identical temperatures for binary components. This W-subtype phenomenon for K-type contact binaries should be further checked with more samples in the future. Finally, the physical parameters of the targets were determined with joint data analysis, and the multiplicity is discussed for these targets. Objects V384 Ser and RV CVn are confirmed to very likely be triple systems from comprehensive analysis, while V1038 Her is a candidate of a triple system based on photometric and spectroscopic solutions.

Measurements from mobile surface vehicles during the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation – a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE)

Abstract. Between 14 and 20 July 2018, small unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) were deployed to the San Luis Valley of Colorado (USA) alongside surface-based remote sensors, in situ sensors, and radiosonde systems as part of the Lower Atmospheric Profiling Studies at Elevation – a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE). The measurements collected as part of LAPSE-RATE targeted quantities related to enhancing our understanding of boundary layer structure, cloud and aerosol properties and surface–atmosphere exchange and provide detailed information to support model evaluation and improvement work. Additionally, intensive intercomparison between the different unmanned aircraft platforms was completed. The current paper describes the observations obtained using three different types of surface-based mobile observing vehicles. These included the University of Colorado Mobile UAS Research Collaboratory (MURC), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Severe Storms Laboratory Mobile Mesonet, and two University of Nebraska Combined Mesonet and Tracker (CoMeT) vehicles. Over the 1-week campaign, a total of 143 h of data were collected using this combination of vehicles. The data from these coordinated activities provide detailed perspectives on the spatial variability of atmospheric state parameters (air temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind) throughout the northern half of the San Luis Valley. These datasets have been checked for quality and published to the Zenodo data archive under a specific “community” setup for LAPSE-RATE (https://zenodo.org/communities/lapse-rate/, last access: 21 January 2021) and are accessible at no cost by all registered users. The primary dataset DOIs are https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3814765 (CU MURC measurements; de Boer et al., 2020d), https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3738175 (NSSL MM measurements; Waugh, 2020), and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3838724 (UNL CoMeT measurements; Houston and Erwin, 2020).

Laser Disdrometer Quantities (LDQUANTS) and Video Disdrometer Quantities (VDISQUANTS) Value-Added Products Report

Disdrometers are useful instruments that measure the distribution of raindrop sizes (drop size distribution: DSD) and the associated rainfall rates/accumulation as those raindrops fall to the ground. These DSDs are a quantity of interest to members of the modeler and observational communities. However, use of disdrometer data for model evaluation, radar monitoring, or other activities requires careful quality control and processing for key DSD properties of interest (e.g., the number concentration of drops) to ensure appropriate physical (scattering, fall speed) assumptions. The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Laser Disdrometer Quantities and Video Disdrometer Quantities Value-Added Product (LDQUANTS/VDISQUANTS VAP) uses standard methods from Tokay et al. (e.g., 2013, 2014) to filter drops with unrealistic fall speeds. Further, it estimates several microphysical/geophysical quantities of parameterized DSDs (gamma or exponential assumption type fitting methods) as in previous disdrometer studies and ARM long-term efforts (e.g., Testud et al. 2001, Giangrande et al. 2014, Thompson et al. 2015). Disdrometers are also beneficial for cross-checks with other instrumentation, including rain gauges and radars. To support research interests and related radar monitoring activities, this product calculates radar equivalent quantities, including dual polarization radar quantities (e.g., Z, Differential Reflectivity ZDR, etc.), using T-Matrix scattering and additional wavelength, temperature, and drop shape assumptions (e.g., Thurai et al. 2007). All of these efforts allow disdrometer data sets to become more useful and easily handled by modeling and observational studies, or routine instrumentation checks.

First-principles investigation of the thermophysical properties of NaCl, PuCl 3 , and NaCl-PuCl 3 Molten salts

Molten salts have a variety of applications that span the nuclear and solar industries, and which involve thermal storage and heat transfer. There is a present knowledge gap in the thermophysical properties of molten salts, which limits the readiness level of molten salt applications. This is especially pertinent for molten salt reactors where the fissile material is dissolved within the molten salt. Ab initio molecular dynamics is a common method employed to investigate the structural and thermophysical properties at elevated temperatures. NaCl-PuCl 3 is a candidate fuel salt in molten salt reactors. The scope of this study is to investigate the seven unique compositions and a range of temperatures of NaCl-PuCl 3 and calculate the density, heat capacity, compressibility, enthalpy of mixing, and coefficient of thermal expansion. Within this work, the van der Waals (vdW) interactions are primarily handled with the vdW-DF2 functional but spot-checked with both the dDsC and DFT-D3 methods. The calculated densities are in good agreement with the NaCl and the eutectic compositions, and no experimental values exist for PuCl 3 at these temperatures. The densities are fit to a first-order Redlich-Kister expansion as a function of both composition and temperature. The heat capacity in the literature is scattered but the calculated values agree well with one of the experimental results. Here, the heat capacity increases as a linear function with respect to concentration at a rate of about 7.5 J/mol-K per 10 mol% PuCl 3 .

Single crystal growth and characterization of topological semimetal ZrSnTe

High quality single crystals are critical for experimental materials science research. ZrSnTe represents such an example. This material belongs to the ZrSiS-type topological material family, which is so far the only one in this material family possessing Fermi surface formed by Dirac bands generated by a Sn-square net. Experimental study on ZrSnTe is limited due to the difficulty in single crystal growth. Here, in this work, we report the single crystal growth for ZrSnTe using a solid-state reaction method with Sn as a flux. The roles of various growth parameters such as the molar ratio of starting materials, growth temperature and cooling rate in obtaining sizeable single crystals were investigated. The quality of the obtained single crystals was checked by elemental, structural and electronic characterizations. Our study on the growth method for ZrSnTe would enable the future study on this less explored topological semimetal.

Development of a Framework and Methodology for an Advanced Reactor Materials Environmental Effects Design Guide

Advanced non-light-water reactor components may operate at elevated temperature while experiencing cyclic loading, significant neutron irradiation, and exposure to reactor coolant. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 5, provides design rules for elevated-temperature service but does not include specific procedures to account for environmental effects on material properties. This report develops an initial framework and methodology for an Environmental Effects Design Guide (EEDG) focused on neutron irradiation; coolant-environment effects are reserved for future work. The proposed approach treats irradiation as a property-based overlay on the existing Division 5 design process, with two routes: a sparse-data route applying two reduction factors — FCR on creep-rupture strength and FF on fatigue life — for the creep-fatigue evaluations that typically control the design of advanced high-temperature reactor components, and a fuller framework developing the property-to-rule chain across the four Division 5 checks (primary load, strain limits and ratcheting, creep-fatigue, and buckling), together with swelling and weldments as scope items. Both routes are scoped by an in-pile qualification that restricts the use of post-irradiation-examination-derived properties in regimes where an in-pile mechanism could control the design outcome. Illustrative outputs derived on a compiled annealed Type 316 database — FCR ≈ 0.78–0.86 and FF ≈ 0.4 — demonstrate the calculation method within that specific dataset. The framework is an initial, testable design-rule concept; it identifies a practical path for preliminary design evaluations under sparse data and the material data and testing needed to develop the framework further.

Effective $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ model for finite-density QCD with tensor networks

The tensor renormalization group is a promising numerical method used to study lattice statistical field theories. However, this approach is computationally expensive in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. Here we use tensor renormalization group methods to study an effective three-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ model for the heavy-quark, high-temperature, strong-coupling limit of single-flavor 3+1 dimensional quantum chromodynamics. Our results are cross-checked using the worm Monte Carlo algorithm. We present the phase diagram of the model through the measurement of the Polyakov loop, the nearest-neighbor Polyakov loop correlator, and their susceptibilities. The tensor renormalization group results are in good agreement with the literature

Breaking the degeneracy between polarization efficiency and cosmological parameters in CMB experiments

Accurate cosmological parameter estimates using polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) put stringent requirements on map calibration, as highlighted in the recent results from the Planck satellite. In this paper, we point out that a model-dependent determination of polarization calibration can be achieved by the joint fit of the temperature-E-mode cross-power spectrum (TE) and E-mode auto-power spectrum (EE). This provides a valuable cross-check to band-averaged polarization efficiency measurements determined using other approaches. We demonstrate that, in ΛCDM, the combination of the TE and EE constrain polarization calibration with sub-percent uncertainty with Planck data and 2% uncertainty with sptpol data. We arrive at similar conclusions when extending ΛCDM to include the amplitude of lensing A L , the number of relativistic species N eff , or the sum of the neutrino masses Σm ν . Furthermore, the uncertainties on cosmological parameters are minimally impacted when marginalizing over polarization calibration, except, as can be expected, for the uncertainty on the amplitude of the primordial scalar power spectrum ln(10 10 A s ), which increases by 20–50%. However, this information can be fully recovered by adding temperature auto-power spectrum (TT) information. For current and future ground-based experiments, SPT-3G and CMB-S4, we forecast the cosmological parameter uncertainties to be minimally degraded when marginalizing over polarization calibration parameters. In addition, CMB-S4 could constrain its polarization calibration at the level of ~0.2% by combining TE and EE, and reach ~0.06% by also including TT. We therefore conclude that relying on calibrating against Planck polarization maps, whose statistical uncertainty is limited to ~0.5%, would be insufficient for upcoming experiments.

EPCAPE-PT-LANL Measurements: Humidified Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift Spectroscopy

Coastal cities offer a unique environment for studying aerosol-cloud interactions and the effects of urban emissions on cloud properties. As part of the Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE), the Partitioning Thrust by Los Alamos National Laboratory (EPCAPE-PT-LANL) was conducted. Our campaign focused on measuring the optical and chemical properties of aerosols and their interactions within marine stratocumulus clouds in La Jolla, California.
