Effects of cryogenic temperature and grain size on fatigue-crack propagation in the medium-entropy CrCoNi alloy

CrCoNi-based high-entropy alloys have demonstrated outstanding mechanical properties, particularly at cryogenic temperatures. Here we investigate the fatigue-crack propagation properties of the equiatomic, single-phase, face-centered cubic, medium-entropy alloy (MEA), CrCoNi, that displays exceptional strength, ductility and toughness, all of which are enhanced at cryogenic temperatures. Fatigue-crack growth is examined, at a load ratio of 0.1 over a wide range of growth rates, from ~10 –11 to >10 –7 m/cycle, at room (293 K) and cryogenic (198 K, 77 K) temperatures for two grain sizes (~7 and 68 µm), with emphasis on near-threshold behavior. We find that the ΔK th fatigue thresholds are increased with decreasing temperature and increasing grain size: from 5.7 MPa√m at 293 K to 8 MPa√m at 77 K in the fine-grained alloy, and from 9.4 MPa√m at 293 K to 13.7 MPa√m at 77 K in the coarse-grained alloy. Mechanistically, transgranular cracking at 293 K transitions to a mixture of intergranular and transgranular at cryogenic temperatures, where the increased propensity of nano-twins appears to inhibit growth rates by deflecting the crack path. However, the main factor affecting near-threshold behavior is roughness-induced crack closure from interference between the crack flanks, which is enhanced by the rougher fracture surfaces at low temperatures, particularly in the coarser-grained microstructure. Here, fatigue-crack propagation behavior in CrCoNi is comparable to nickel-based superalloys but is superior to that of the high-entropy CrMnFeCoNi (Cantor) alloy and many high-strength steels, making the CrCoNi alloy an excellent candidate material for safety-critical applications, particularly involving low temperatures.

EBSD of Rough Native CuInGaSe2 Thin-Films

The polycrystalline Cu (In, Ga) Se2, or CIGS, based thin-film materials system has long been studied for use in photovoltaic technologies, where its bandgap tunability, mechanical flexibility, and relatively low production costs are all appealing. Nonetheless, significant defect populations, which serve to reduce efficiency, create performance instabilities, and increase concerns about long-term reliability, have hindered wide-scale adoption. Prior work, including application of a scanning probe based deep level trap spectroscopy (SP-DLTS) defect mapping technique and scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) based electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), has shown that the most detrimental defects, with energy level near mid-gap (thus serving as a carrier recombination center), are most likely caused by CuIn/Ga antisites and tend to cluster at or around certain grain boundaries [1,2]. However, the exact nature of these particular boundaries — their structures, chemistries, or even the relative misorientation of their associated grains — and their relation to this defect clustering and/or its formation is yet unknown. As such, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) orientation mapping, directly correlated with defect-sensitive techniques like SP-DLTS and/or STEM-EELS, could prove critical for providing the final missing links toward understanding the mechanisms behind these defects. Indeed, recent studies using correlative electron beam induced current (EBIC) with EBSD have been able to identify boundaries, and their relative misorientations, that possess detrimental electronic properties [3]. However, because EBIC is unable to resolve the defect energy levels, many questions are left unanswered. Furthermore, this study, and others like it, employed focused ion beam (FIB) milling to flatten the natively-rough CIGS [3-5], which may run the risk of changing the nature of any near-surface defect structures.

Toward Ideal Metal–Organic Framework Thin-Film Growth via Automated Layer-by-Layer Deposition: Examples Based on Perylene Diimide Linkers

Photoactive metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films offer an opportunity for translating the advantages of periodic, crystalline, and tailorable light-harvesting materials directly into devices such as those for photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion. In this study, we report the fabrication of light-absorbing perylene-diimide-containing pillared-paddlewheel MOF thin films using an automated layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique. Our focus here is on optimizing the growth of representative chromophoric MOFs as oriented films of uniform and predefined thickness. Growth was examined as a function of metal identity, pillaring ligand composition, and supporting-surface chemical functionality. Further, application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and complementary techniques revealed that the surface-supported MOFs initially display island-type film growth (Volmer-Weber growth), resulting in comparatively rough films. Further growth is accompanied by the merging of islands, resulting in films that, depending on experimental details, can be remarkably smooth (i.e., roughness on the order of ±1 nm (one structural repeat unit in the pillaring direction)). These details include the use of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as a MOF pillar and ALD-grown zinc oxide as a film support (ALD = atomic layer deposition). Also helpful for mitigating island-type growth, at least in part, is the replacement of Zn 2+ by Cu 2+ as the metal component of the MOF. Notably, each of these adjustments entails replacing weaker chemical bonds with stronger ones.

On the meaning of Berry force for unrestricted systems treated with mean-field electronic structure

We show that the Berry force as computed by an approximate, mean-field electronic structure can be meaningful if properly interpreted. In particular, for a model Hamiltonian representing a molecular system with an even number of electrons interacting via a two-body (Hubbard) interaction and a spin–orbit coupling, we show that a meaningful nonzero Berry force emerges whenever there is spin unrestriction—even though the Hamiltonian is real-valued and formally the on-diagonal single-surface Berry force must be zero. Moreover, if properly applied, this mean-field Berry force yields roughly the correct asymptotic motion for scattering through an avoided crossing. That being said, within the context of a ground-state calculation, several nuances do arise as far interpreting the Berry force correctly, and as a practical matter, the Berry force diverges near the Coulson–Fischer point (which can lead to numerical instabilities). Here, we do not address magnetic fields here.

Subaru Near-infrared Imaging Polarimetry of Misaligned Disks around the SR 24 Hierarchical Triple System

The SR 24 multistar system hosts both circumprimary and circumsecondary disks, which are strongly misaligned with each other. The circumsecondary disk is circumbinary in nature. Interestingly, both disks are interacting, and they possibly rotate in opposite directions. To investigate the nature of this unique twin disk system, we present 0.″1 resolution near-infrared polarized intensity images of the circumstellar structures around SR 24, obtained with HiCIAO mounted on the Subaru 8.2 m telescope. Both the circumprimary disk and the circumsecondary disk are resolved and have elongated features. While the position angle of the major axis and radius of the near-IR (NIR) polarization disk around SR 24S are 55° and 137 au, respectively, those around SR 24N are 110° and 34 au, respectively. With regard to overall morphology, the circumprimary disk around SR 24S shows strong asymmetry, whereas the circumsecondary disk around SR 24N shows relatively strong symmetry. Our NIR observations confirm the previous claim that the circumprimary and circumsecondary disks are misaligned from each other. Both the circumprimary and circumsecondary disks show similar structures in {sup 12}CO observations in terms of its size and elongation direction. This consistency is because both NIR and {sup 12}CO are tracing surface layers of the flared disks. As the radius of the polarization disk around SR 24N is roughly consistent with the size of the outer Roche lobe, it is natural to interpret the polarization disk around SR 24N as a circumbinary disk surrounding the SR 24Nb–Nc system.

Experimental study of fracture slip due to stress perturbation in fractured geo-resources

Anthropogenic activities such as underground fluid injection/extraction, well stimulation, and dam impoundment will perturb the state-of-stress in the subsurface, which could activate critically stressed pre-existing fractures and faults. Fault and fracture activation can induce seismicity, change flow behavior, and damage asperities on the fracture surface to alter reservoir permeability. Here, in this study, triaxial shear tests were conducted on saw cut and rough fracture Barre granite specimens to better characterize how a decrease in normal stress and increase in shear stress will influence crystalline rock fracture hydromechanical properties. In a triaxial set up, confining pressure (CP) and differential stress (DS) were used to induce normal and shear stress on a 45° oriented fracture. Fracture slip and the corresponding stress relaxation was observed when the confining stress decreased. Fracture permeability increased when the fracture slipped. Moreover, new micro-cracks observed by x-ray images indicated the creation of new flow paths for fluid movement. The experimental outcomes of this study indicate that decrease in normal stress due to stress perturbations along the faults/fractures in the extensional stress regime can induce the slip along the fracture. This could have a significant influence on slope stability in quarries, stimulation and injection strategy in deep geo-resources, and potentially minimize the risk of induced seismicity. The observed stress dependency of hydraulic aperture in rough fracture during pre- and post-slip stages could provide key inputs for field-scale simulation of geo-resources.

Simple processing via thermal treatment and catalyst infiltration to enhance nickel electrode performance for liquid alkaline water electrolyzers

Two simple processes for enhancing liquid alkaline water electrolyzer performance are demonstrated. Both enhance 3D Ni electrodes by introducing a micron-scale rough structure throughout the bulk of the electrode. Oxidation/reduction relies on a simple thermal treatment cycle to create surface roughening through the volumetric expansion during NiO formation and volume contraction during reduction back to Ni metal. Catalyst infiltration introduces a washcoat of additional metal particles throughout the electrode, by flooding the electrode with catalyst precursor and converting it to micron-scale particles via a reducing thermal treatment. Further, the largest improvement in performance (211mV at 1.8Acm -2 ) is observed for infiltrated NiFe-3x catalyst. For Fe-free Ni-only electrodes, oxidation/reduction provides a larger improvement (157 mV at 1.8Acm -2 ) than infiltrated Ni-3X (106mV at 1.8Acm -2 ). For both processes, the observed electrode surface structure and performance is quite sensitive to the thermal treatment temperature.

Visualizing the Effect of Oxidation on Magnetic Domain Behavior of Nanoscale Fe 3 GeTe 2 for Applications in Spintronics

Magnetic van der Waals (vdW) materials offer an opportunity to design heterostructures that will lead to exotic functionalities that arise from interfacial interaction. In addition to coupling to different vdW materials, the naturally oxidized surface layer of a vdW material also forms a heterostructure with its bulk film, giving rise to intriguing phenomena. Here, we directly observe the impact of oxidation on the magnetic domains, namely, magnetic stripe domain and skyrmions, in a nanoscale Fe 3 GeTe 2 flake using cryo Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. After the Fe 3 GeTe 2 is exposed to ambient conditions, partial oxidation leads to an increase in the density of skyrmions even under zero magnetic field. Complete oxidation leads to a loss of the magnetic domain structure. We observe a gradual change in Fe 3 GeTe 2 from single crystal to amorphous as the oxidation increases. The oxidized Fe 3 GeTe 2 primarily consists of iron oxide, which could be antiferromagnetic in nature. We hypothesize that the interfacial interaction between these surface antiferromagnetic oxides and the bulk ferromagnetic Fe 3 GeTe 2 , as well as the effect of interfacial roughness, leads to the increase in Néel skyrmion creation. Furthermore, this work opens a path to harness controlled oxidation as a build block to create dense skyrmion lattices without the need for an external magnetic field, leading to potential future applications in spintronic devices.

Changes in Annual Extremes of Daily Temperature and Precipitation in CMIP6 Models

This study presents an analysis of daily temperature and precipitation extremes with return periods ranging from 2 to 50 years in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) multimodel ensemble of simulations. Judged by similarity with reanalyses, the new-generation models simulate the present-day temperature and precipitation extremes reasonably well. In line with previous CMIP simulations, the new simulations continue to project a large-scale picture of more frequent and more intense hot temperature extremes and precipitation extremes and vanishing cold extremes under continued global warming. Changes in temperature extremes outpace changes in global annual mean surface air temperature (GSAT) over most landmasses, while changes in precipitation extremes follow changes in GSAT globally at roughly the Clausius–Clapeyron rate of ~7% °C –1 . Changes in temperature and precipitation extremes normalized with respect to GSAT do not depend strongly on the choice of forcing scenario or model climate sensitivity, and do not vary strongly over time, but with notable regional variations. Over the majority of land regions, the projected intensity increases and relative frequency increases tend to be larger for more extreme hot temperature and precipitation events than for weaker events. To obtain robust estimates of these changes at local scales, large initial-condition ensemble simulations are needed. Appropriate spatial pooling of data from neighboring grid cells within individual simulations can, to some extent, reduce the needed ensemble size.

Multimerization of Ebola GPΔmucin on protein nanoparticle vaccines has minimal effect on elicitation of neutralizing antibodies

Ebola virus (EBOV), a member of the Filoviridae family of viruses and a causative agent of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), is a highly pathogenic virus that has caused over twenty outbreaks in Central and West Africa since its formal discovery in 1976. The only FDA-licensed vaccine against Ebola virus, rVSV-ZEBOV-GP (Ervebo®), is efficacious against infection following just one dose. However, since this vaccine contains a replicating virus, it requires ultra-low temperature storage which imparts considerable logistical challenges for distribution and access. Additional vaccine candidates could provide expanded protection to mitigate current and future outbreaks. Here, we designed and characterized two multimeric protein nanoparticle subunit vaccines displaying 8 or 20 copies of GPΔmucin, a truncated form of the EBOV surface protein GP. Single-dose immunization of mice with GPΔmucin nanoparticles revealed that neutralizing antibody levels were roughly equivalent to those observed in mice immunized with non-multimerized GPΔmucin trimers. These results suggest that some protein subunit antigens do not elicit enhanced antibody responses when displayed on multivalent scaffolds and can inform next-generation design of stable Ebola virus vaccine candidates.

Distortions of the Rain Distribution With Warming, With and Without Self-Aggregation

We investigate how mesoscale circulations associated with convective aggregation can modulate the sensitivity of the hydrologic cycle to warming. We quantify changes in the full distribution of rain across radiative-convective equilibrium states in a cloud-resolving model. For a given Sea Surface Temperature (SST), the shift in mean rainfall between disorganized and organized states is associated with a shift in atmospheric radiative cooling, and is roughly analogous to the effect of a 4K SST increase. With rising temperatures, the increase in mean rain rate is insensitive to the presence of organization, while extremes can intensify faster in the aggregated state, leading to a faster amplification in the sporadic nature of rain. When convection aggregates, heavy rain is enhanced by 20%–30% and nonlinear behaviors are observed as a function of SST and strength of aggregation feedbacks. First, radiative- and surface-flux aggregation feedbacks have multiplicative effects on extremes, illustrating a non-trivial sensitivity to the degree of organization. Second, alternating Clausius-Clapeyron and super-Clausius-Clapeyron regimes in extreme rainfall are found as a function of SST, corresponding to varying thermodynamic and dynamic contributions, and a large sensitivity to precipitation efficiency variations in some SST ranges. The potential for mesoscale circulations in amplifying the hydrologic cycle is established. However, these nonlinear distortions question the quantitative relevance of idealized self-aggregation. This calls for a deeper investigation of relationships which capture the coupling between global energetics, aggregation feedbacks and local convection, and for systematic tests of their sensitivity to domain configurations, surface boundary conditions, microphysics, and turbulence schemes.

Polycrystalline SnSe with a thermoelectric figure of merit greater than the single crystal

Abstract Thermoelectric materials generate electric energy from waste heat, with conversion efficiency governed by the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT. Single-crystal tin selenide (SnSe) was discovered to exhibit a high ZT of roughly 2.2–2.6 at 913 K, but more practical and deployable polycrystal versions of the same compound suffer from much poorer overall ZT, thereby thwarting prospects for cost-effective lead-free thermoelectrics. The poor polycrystal bulk performance is attributed to traces of tin oxides covering the surface of SnSe powders, which increases thermal conductivity, reduces electrical conductivity and thereby reduces ZT. Here, we report that hole-doped SnSe polycrystalline samples with reagents carefully purified and tin oxides removed exhibit an ZT of roughly 3.1 at 783 K. Its lattice thermal conductivity is ultralow at roughly 0.07 W m –1 K –1 at 783 K, lower than the single crystals. The path to ultrahigh thermoelectric performance in polycrystalline samples is the proper removal of the deleterious thermally conductive oxides from the surface of SnSe grains. These results could open an era of high-performance practical thermoelectrics from this high-performance material.

Dynamics of Electric Polarization and Relaxation of Ions at Humid Calcite Surfaces

Mobile ions at mineral surfaces can respond to an applied electric field, adopting a new distribution that effectively represents polarization of the electrical double layer. When the field is released, the ions relax to their equilibrium distribution. In both cases, the dynamics are characteristic of the interface. However, current models of electrokinetic phenomena are not sufficiently robust to accurately predict collective ion dynamics at structurally and chemically specific mineral–water interfaces. Here, in this study, we use electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) to investigate the dynamics of ion relaxation at hydrated calcite (104) surfaces at controlled relative humidity (RH). Electrically biased probes are used to polarize the distributions of calcium and carbonate ions that are intrinsic to this interface across a range of RH values. Polarization kinetics are tracked by monitoring the tip–sample force gradient during charging, and EFM imaging is used to characterize the spatial relaxation dynamics after the applied field is released. Electrostatic finite element modeling of the sample/probe system across length-scales from nanometers to millimeters reproduces the observed stretched exponential charging response. Together, these results allow us to estimate the ion diffusivities at the interface across a wide range of RH values. These diffusivities increase by roughly 5 orders of magnitude as the RH is increased from 5 to 90%, highlighting the critical role of adsorbed water for surface ion solvation that enables ion mobility.

Mechanical and Corrosion Response of 316SS in Supercritical CO 2

The supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO 2 ) Brayton cycle is currently being explored as a replacement for the steam Rankine cycle due to its potential for higher efficiency and lower cycle cost. 316 stainless steel is a candidate alloy for use in s-CO 2 up to roughly 600 °C, but the mechanical effects of prolonged exposure of base and welded material in s-CO 2 have not been analyzed. The potential for carburization makes this an important concern for the implementation of 316 and similar austenitic stainless steels in the s-CO 2 environment. In this study, welded and base material of two types of 316–316L and 316H–were exposed in either s-CO 2 or argon at 550 °C or 750 °C for 1000 h. 550 °C s-CO 2 exposure yielded a thin (< 1 µm) Cr oxide with occasional nodules of duplex Fe oxide and Fe–Cr spinel that were up to 5 microns thick. However, tensile results from s-CO –2 exposure matched those of 550 °C thermal aging in Ar, indicating that no mechanically detrimental carburization occurred in either 316 variant after 1000 h exposure. Conversely, 750 °C s-CO 2 exposure produced roughly 10 × the oxide thickness, with a more substantial Fe oxide (3–5 µm) on the majority of the surface and nodules of up to 40 µm thick. In comparison to aged samples, tensile testing of 750 °C CO 2 -exposed samples revealed ductility loss attributed to carburization. As a result, projections of 316L performance in s-CO 2 indicate that mechanically detrimental carburization—equal to that shown here for 750 °C, 1000 h—will likely be present after 7–14 years of service at 550 °C.

Modeling Partial Reflection Paths for Infrasound Analysis

Numerical methods enabling simulation of scattered and partially reflected infrasonic propagation paths produced by interaction with fine-scale structure in the middle atmosphere have been implemented in the infraGA ray tracing software. This capability enables simulation of ensonification in the classical stratospheric “shadow zone” that has been observed during the Humming Roadrunner and LSECE surface explosion campaigns as well as in other data sets. In the case of LSECE, a pair of stations roughly 140 kilometers east of the source location observed arrivals with celerities (horizontal group velocities) slightly slower than observed stratospheric paths at similar azimuths. The arrivals exhibited increasing trace velocity later in the wavetrain indicating a steepening of the arrival path for longer or slower propagation paths. Simulation of partially reflected paths using the updated infraGA software methods finds good agreement between observed and predicted infrasonic ensonification at these locations within the stratospheric shadow zone. Further development of the partial reflection physics and comparison with other data sets is needed to more robustly understand how such anomalous infrasonic signals can be predicted; however, the demonstration of this capability is a promising first step in such analyses.

Quantum computing approach for building surface sunlit in urban-scale energy modeling

Solar shadow calculations are needed in building energy modeling and performance simulation of PV systems installed on roofs or facades of buildings. We present a quantum computing approach for calculation of building surface sunlit fractions by recasting solar visibility as a binary optimization problem solved by quantum annealing. Each triangulated surface centroid is encoded as a binary qubit indicating sunlit or shaded status. Geometric visibility constraints are derived from the Möller-Trumbore intersection algorithm and converted into a constrained quadratic binary model compatible with contemporary quantum annealers. The coefficients were embedded to D-Wave quantum computer. To demonstrate feasibility, we conducted a case study in San Francisco for a target building with 52 triangles and roughly 2700 nearby triangles within 50 m evaluated at representative winter and summer solar positions. The results demonstrated that quantum annealing can reliably calculate and distinguish sunlit from shaded surfaces. Quantum samples achieved average accuracy exceeding 92.4 %, with the aggregate surface-level agreement approaching 99.9 %. The outputs of quantum computers agreed closely with classical algorithms, indicating practical feasibility and promising scalability. Finally, the hourly sunlit fractions of building surfaces can be obtained for urban energy modelling. This is the first study to apply quantum computing to the solar shadow and building surface sunlit calculation. It introduces a new paradigm that differs fundamentally from traditional approaches.

Permeability Evolution of Fractures in Shale in the Presence of Supercritical CO 2

We experimentally examined the impact of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) on fracture permeability and fracture surface characteristics in shales of various compositions. We measured permeability and fracture normal displacement at different effective stresses using both argon and scCO 2 as pore fluids. Both natural fractures and saw cuts in intact samples were used in our study. The permeability and fracture normal displacement decrease after multiple loading/unloading cycles, apparently as the result of inelastic compaction. In samples with high carbonate content, we observe an increase in permeability and fracture surface degradation after more than 3.5 days of exposure to scCO 2 , apparently due to carbonate dissolution. We demonstrate that the sensitivity of permeability to effective normal stress correlates well with the fracture normal displacement. The dependence of permeability on effective normal stress increases after exposure to scCO 2 as the fracture surface became more compliant.

Bulk Transfer Coefficients Estimated From Eddy-Covariance Measurements Over Lakes and Reservoirs

The drag coefficient, Stanton number and Dalton number are of particular importance for estimating the surface turbulent fluxes of momentum, heat and water vapor using bulk parameterization. Although these bulk transfer coefficients have been extensively studied over the past several decades in marine and large-lake environments, there are no studies analyzing their variability for smaller lakes. Here, we evaluated these coefficients through directly measured surface fluxes using the eddy-covariance technique over more than 30 lakes and reservoirs of different sizes and depths. Our analysis showed that the transfer coefficients (adjusted to neutral atmospheric stability) were generally within the range reported in previous studies for large lakes and oceans. All transfer coefficients exhibit a substantial increase at low wind speeds (<3 m s -1 ), which was found to be associated with the presence of gusts and capillary waves (except Dalton number). Stanton number was found to be on average a factor of 1.3 higher than Dalton number, likely affecting the Bowen ratio method. At high wind speeds, the transfer coefficients remained relatively constant at values of 1.6·10 -3 , 1.4·10 -3 , 1.0·10 -3 , respectively. We found that the variability of the transfer coefficients among the lakes could be associated with lake surface area. In flux parameterizations at lake surfaces, it is recommended to consider variations in the drag coefficient and Stanton number due to wind gustiness and capillary wave roughness while Dalton number could be considered as constant at all wind speeds.
