Magnetic transition behavior in epitaxial Fe 47 Rh 47 Pd 6 films

The properties of Fe–Rh–Pd epitaxial thin films grown on MgO(001) were studied as a function of growth temperature. Films grown above 400°C exhibit a first-order antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic magnetic phase transition with a transition temperature that decreases as the growth temperature is increased. The chemical order parameter computed from the ratio of intensities of the (001) and (002) diffraction peaks is nearly independent of the growth temperature, while the lattice constants change slightly. A comparison of our structural, magnetic, and electrical transport results with first-principle-based calculations as well as literature results indicates that the transition temperature of Fe–Rh-based alloy films depends sensitively on the lattice parameters and is of electronic origin. The transition temperature and its width can be tuned over a wide range by controlling the crystal structure via growth conditions or postdeposition annealing.

Study of the structure, structural transition, interface model, and magnetic moments of CrN grown on MgO(001) by molecular beam epitaxy

Structural phase transition is studied in high quality CrN thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on MgO(001) substrates. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction reveal that the epitaxial relationship between CrN film and MgO substrate is [100] CrN /[100] MgO , [110] CrN /[110] MgO , and [001] CrN /[001] MgO . The films show tensile strain/compression at the CrN/MgO(001) interface, which relaxes gradually with the film growth. Temperature dependent x-ray diffraction measurements show a first-order structural phase transition. In addition to the experimental measurements, first-principles theoretical calculations have been carried out for finding a stable model for the CrN/MgO interface. Furthermore, these calculations determine two possible models for the interface, where a monolayer of chromium oxide is formed between the CrN and MgO layers.

Photo-response of the $N=Z$ nucleus $^{24}$Mg

The electric E1 and magnetic M1 dipole responses of the N = Z nucleus 24 Mg were investigated in an inelastic photon scattering experiment. The 13.0 MeV electrons, which were used to produce the unpolarised bremsstrahlung in the entrance channel of the 24 Mg(γ,γ') reaction, were delivered by the ELBE accelerator of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. The collimated bremsstrahlung photons excited one J π = 1 – , four J π = 1 + , and six J π = 2 + states in 24 Mg. De-excitation γ rays were detected using the four high-purity germanium detectors of the γELBE setup, which is dedicated to nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments. In the energy region up to 13.0 MeV a total B(M1)↑ = 2.7(3) $μ$$^{2}_{N}$ is observed, but this N = Z nucleus exhibits only marginal E1 strength of less than ΣB(E1)↑≤ 0.61 × 10 –3 e 2 fm 2 . The B(Π1, $1$$^{π}_{i}$ → $2$$^{+}_{1}$)/B(Π1,$1$$^{π}_{i}$ → $0$$^{+}_{gs}$) branching ratios in combination with the expected results from the Alaga rules demonstrate that K is a good approximative quantum number for 24 Mg. The use of the known ρ 2 (E0, $0$$^{+}_{2}$ → $0$$^{+}_{gs}$) strength and the measured B(M1,1 + → $0$$^{+}_{2}$)/B(M1,1 + → $0$$^{+}_{gs}$) branching ratio of the 10.712 MeV 1 + level allows, in a two-state mixing model, an extraction of the difference Δ$β$$^{2}_{2}$ between the prolate ground-state structure and shape-coexisting superdeformed structure built upon the 6432-keV $0$$^{+}_{2}$ level.

Towards a Small Emittance Design of the JLEIC Electron Collider Ring

The electron collider ring of the Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) is designed to provide an electron beam with a small beam size at the IP for collisions with an ion beam in order to reach a desired high luminosity. For a chosen beta-star at the IP, electron beam size is determined by the equilibrium emittance that can be obtained through a linear optics design. This paper briefly describes the baseline design of the electron collider ring reusing PEP-II components and considering their parameters (such as dipole sagitta, magnet field strengths and acceptable synchrotron radiation power) and reports a few approaches to reducing the equilibrium emittance in the electron collider ring.

Final Report: Levitated Dipole Experiment

Since the very first experiments with the LDX, research progress was rapid and significant. Initial experiments were conducted with the high-field superconducting coil suspended by three thin rods. These experiments produced long-pulse, quasi-steady-state microwave discharges, lasting more than 10 s, having peak beta values of 20%. High-beta, near steady-state discharges have been maintained in LDX for more than 20 seconds, and this capability makes LDX the longest pulse fusion confinement experiment now operating in the U.S. fusion program. In both supported and levitated configurations, detailed measurements are made of discharge evolution, plasma dynamics and instability, and the roles of gas fueling, microwave power deposition profiles, and plasma boundary shape. High-temperature plasma is created by multifrequency electron cyclotron resonance heating allowing control of heating profiles. Depending upon neutral fueling rates, the LDX discharges contain a fraction of energetic electrons, with mean energies above 50 keV. Depending on whether or not the superconducting dipole is levitated or supported, the peak thermal electron temperature is estimated to exceed 500 eV and peak densities reach 10 18 m -3 .

Development of Design for the STS Extraction Magnet System

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Second Target Station Project will enhance the Spallation Neutron Source by adding a new neutron source. The upgrade includes a 30% increase in beam energy and a 50% boost in beam current, doubling the accelerator's power capability to 2.8 MW. The Ring-to-Second-Target Beam Transport (RTST) system is vital in directing high-energy proton beams to the target. A key element of the RTST system is the extraction magnets, which are tasked with precise beam extraction and transport. Within the framework of this work, Fermilab is responsible for carrying out the development of 3 types of magnets: Pulsed Dipole, Large Aperture Quadrupole and Narrow Quadrupole.

Rotators for the Hadron Storage Ring

The Electron Ion Collider calls for collisions of polarized electrons on transversely and longitudinally polarized protons and helions. To facilitate longitudinal polar ization, helical dipole rotator magnets from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider will be reused. These rotators are placed asymmetrically at -35.28 and 61.35 mrad from the interaction point. Longitudinal polarization of polarized protons cannot be satisfied for all energies while remaining below the maximum current of 322 A. Care has been taken to ensure longitudinal polarization can be satisfied at the energies of interest. The rotators ramping result in a shift in νs which has been compensated for with a change in the snake precession axes. The rotators can satisfy longitudinal polarization at all energies of interest, and the νs compensation has also been established.

Data for "Propagation of EMIC Waves from Shabansky Orbits in the Dayside Magnetosphere"

Full-wave simulations of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in a non-dipole compressed magnetic field have been conducted using the Petra-M simulation code. The manuscript investigates the effect of misalignment of the Faraday screen and electron density in the scrape-off layer on the excitation and propagation of fast helicon and slow mode waves.

Constraining the Dynamo Layers in Jupiter and Saturn with Observations and Scaling Laws

The dipole-dominated magnetic fields of Jupiter and Saturn provide evidence for active dynamos operating within their deep interiors, yet the depth of the convecting dynamo layers remains poorly constrained. While magnetic field observations, gravity data, and interior models each provide partial insight, they have not been combined into a single, self-consistent picture of the internal structure. Here, we develop a framework that links observed magnetic field strength with intrinsic heat flux and gravity-constrained interior structure using energy-based dynamo scaling laws. By relating the axial magnetic field strength to the convective power, we infer the radial thickness of the dynamo-generating region for both Jupiter and Saturn. The constants of proportionality in the scaling relations are derived using independent constraints from Earth observations, Jupiter observations, and numerical dynamo simulations. Applied to Jupiter, this framework shows how the inferred dynamo layer thickness is coupled to the outer boundary of the dynamo region. Thinner dynamo layers are predicted when the outer boundary shifts to shallower depths, and no solutions are possible when the outer boundary is less than 73% of Jupiter’s radius. These results constrain plausible geometries for future numerical dynamo simulations. Extending the analysis to Saturn, we find a thick, deep-seated dynamo layer with an outer radius at 42% of the radius to be most plausible. An alternative solution with an inner radius of the dynamo region at 60% of the planetary radius, as suggested by ring seismology models, requires a very thin dynamo layer, occupying only 2%–3% of the total radius.

The 20 Ne(d,p) 21 Ne Transfer Reaction in Relation to the s-Process Abundances

A study of the Ne-20(d,p)Ne-21 transfer reaction was performed using the Quadrupole Dipole Dipole Dipole (Q3D) magnetic spectrograph in Garching, Germany. The experiment probed excitation energies in Ne-21 ranging from 6.9 MeV to 8.5 MeV. The aim was to investigate the spectroscopic information of Ne-21 within the Gamow window of core helium burning in massive stars. Further information in this region will help reduce the uncertainties on the extrapolation down to Gamow window cross sections of the O-17(alpha,gamma)Ne-21 reaction. In low metallicity stars, this reaction has a direct impact on s-process abundances by determining the fate of O-16 as either a neutron poison or a neutron absorber. The experiment used a 22-MeV deuteron beam, with intensities varying from 0.5-1 mu A, and an implanted target of Ne-20 of 7 mu g/cm(2) in 40 mu g/cm(2) carbon foils. Sixteen Ne-21 peaks have been identified in the E-x = 6.9-8.5 MeV range, of which only thirteen peaks correspond to known states. Only the previously-known E-x = 7.960 MeV state was observed within the Gamow window.

Observing Charge Separation Distance in Organic Donor-Acceptors with Photoinduced Absorption Detected Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

The debatable role of charge transfer states in photoinduced charge separation to useful free carriers has been a long-standing controversy in the field of organic solar cells. In this work, varying charge-pair distances are measured in sensitized donor-acceptor thin films using a photoinduced absorption-detected magnetic resonance (PADMR) technique where nearest-neighbor charge transfer states are identified by their strong magnetic dipole-coupling relative to more distant charges. Correlation with the direct measurement of free carriers using time-resolved microwave conductivity has corroborated a distributed-range electron transfer model in which charges generated at longer distances become free carriers, while shorter transfer distances give only bound charge transfer states that cannot separate to generate photocurrent.

Experimental Studies on Grooved Surfaces to Suppress Secondary Electron Emission

Grooved surfaces are effective to suppress the secondary electron emission, and can be a promising technique to mitigate the electron cloud effect in positron/proton storage rings. Aiming for the application in a dipole-type magnetic field, various shapes of triangular grooved surfaces have been studied at KEK. The grooves tested here have vertex angles of 20-30{sup o}, depths of 2.5-5.0 mm, and vertex roundness of 0.05-0.2 mm. In a laboratory, the secondary electron yields (SEY) of small test pieces were measured using an electron beam in a magnetic-free condition. The grooved surfaces clearly had low SEY compared to flat surfaces of the same materials. The grooves with sharper vertexes had smaller SEY. A test chamber installed in a wiggler magnet of the KEKB positron ring was used to investigate the efficacy of the grooved surface in a strong magnetic field. In the chamber, a remarkable reduction in the electron density around the beam orbit was observed compared to the case of a flat surface with TiN coating.

Thermo-magneto coupling in a dipole plasma

We observe the generation of a magnetic moment in a dipole plasma as a levitating magnet-plasma system moves in response to electron cyclotron heating and increasing {beta} (magnetically confined thermal energy). We formulate a thermodynamic model that interprets heating as injection of microscopic magnetic moments; the corresponding chemical potential is the ambient magnetic field.
