Uncertainty Quantification of Monolithic Tungsten Target Block Fatigue

The current STS spallation target design consists of 21 water cooled, tantalum clad, monolithic tungsten blocks. The target wheel assembly rotates such that each target block receives a direct proton pulse every 1.4 seconds (21 blocks / 15 Hz pulses). The quasi-steady heating induced by the repetitive beam pulses creates a significant mean stress distribution in the target. On top of this, the rapid energy deposition from a proton pulse induces dynamic stress waves that are of the same order of magnitude as the mean stresses. Over the design goal of 5,000 operational hours per year for a decade, each target must withstand over 130 million repetitions of these dynamic stress events. The fatigue life prediction of the target blocks is a complex sequence of simulations that depend upon a set of input parameters. For the tungsten block, the end goal is the fatigue factor-of-safety (FOS). This study documents a new structural analysis routine using software available to U.S. national laboratories (e.g. CUBIT, Sierra Multiphysics, Dakota) that enables more rapid target fatigue analysis. The increased throughput is amenable to parameter sensitivity and uncertainty quantification (UQ) studies. A set of input parameters (ultimate strength, fatigue strength, density, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, specific heat, flow rate) with expected ranges are documented based on literature data, recent experimental testing, and engineering judgement. UQ bounds the resulting fatigue FOS at [0.5, 3.4] using epistemic interval analysis. These bounds are expected to be wider due to model effects (discretization) and beam effects (focus, offset) that were not included. Parameter sensitivity underscores the importance of ultimate strength and fatigue strength of irradiated tungsten on the fatigue calculations.

Restructuring of the Lewis Acid Sites in Y-Modified Dealuminated Beta-Zeolite by Hydrothermal Treatment

Yttrium-modified dealuminated Betazeolite (Y-BEA) represents a type of Lewis acid zeolite that has gained attention for its potential to efficiently catalyze the conversion of biomass-derived oxygenates. The structure of the Y active sites and their dynamics during biomass conversion reactions, which normally involve substantial amounts of water, necessitate thorough investigation for the rational design of more active and stable catalysts. Here, we conducted a study where a series of Y-BEA catalysts with different yttrium loadings (1–7 wt.%) were subjected to hydrothermal treatment (450 °C, 20% water) and investigated for their structural and catalytic activity changes through a combination of multiple characterizations and kinetic measurements. The number of acid sites of Y-BEA decreased without a change in acid strength following the hydrothermal treatment, which was confirmed by the results of acid site titration, infrared spectroscopy of probe molecules, and kinetic measurements for probe reactions (acetone aldol condensation). Structural analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurement, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated that both the zeolite structure and the isolation status of the Y site remain intact after hydrothermal treatment. Further, the Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) spectra, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and operando 1 H and 29 Si magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed the dehydroxylation of Y-BEA induced by hydration-rearrangement-condensation restructuring during the high-temperature steam treatment. Dehydroxylation affects the structure of Y sites by reducing their vicinal silanol sites. In conclusion, this conversion of Lewis acidic Y sites into nonacidic sites is the primary factor behind the change in acid site quantity and catalytic activity on Y-BEA.

Scanning SQUID study of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates

Infinite-layer nickelates R 1-x Sr x NiO 2 (R = La, Pr, Nd) are a class of superconductors with structural similarities to cuprates. Although long-range antiferromagnetic order has not been observed for these materials, magnetic effects such as antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and spin-glass behavior have been reported. Different experiments have drawn different conclusions about whether the pairing symmetry is s or d wave. In this paper, we applied a scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) to probe the magnetic behavior of film samples of three infinite-layer nickelates (La 0.85 Sr 0.15 NiO 2 , Pr 0.8 Sr 0.2 NiO 2 , and Nd 0.775 Sr 0.225 NiO 2 ) grown on SrTiO 3 (STO), each with a nominal thickness of 20 unit cells. In all three films, we observed a ferromagnetic background. We also measured the magnetic susceptibility above the superconducting critical temperature in Pr 0.8 Sr 0.2 NiO 2 and La 0.85 Sr 0.15 NiO 2 and identified a non-Curie-Weiss dynamic susceptibility. Both magnetic features are likely due to NiO x nanoparticles. We investigated superconductivity in Pr 0.8 Sr 0.2 NiO 2 and Nd 0.775 Sr 0.225 NiO 2 , which exhibited inhomogeneous diamagnetic screening. The superfluid density inferred from the diamagnetic susceptibility in relatively homogeneous regions shows T-linear behavior in both samples. Finally, we observed superconducting vortices in Nd 0.775 Sr 0.225 NiO 2 . We determined a Pearl length of 330 µm for Nd 0.775 Sr 0.225 NiO 2 at 300 mK, both from the strength of the diamagnetism and from the size and shape of the vortices. These results highlight the importance of considering NiO x particles when interpreting experimental results for these films.

Characterization of Interconnects

Combined-accelerated stress testing (C-AST) simultaneously combines stress factors of the natural environment (including UV radiation, temperature, humidity, electrical current, and external mechanical force) into a single test that requires fewer modules, fewer chambers, and makes it possible to discover weaknesses in new designs that are not known a-priori. C-AST reduces risk, accelerates time to market, and improves bankability by reducing costly overdesign using test levels not exceeding those seen in the natural environment. This project seeks to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of modern cell interconnect designs with combined-accelerated stress testing (C-AST) to screen multiple climates along with finite element and failure analysis to determine the potential for a 50-year life. Supporting this, we seek to develop methods of characterization to assess the degradation of interconnects, enable predictive rate models with material forensics and FEA and show C-AST's ability to find interconnect failures and benchmark it relative to other accelerated stress test methods like temperature cycling and cyclic dynamic mechanical loading. Examples of modern interconnect designs covered are Canadian Solar Hetero Technology ribbon enabling closer cell interconnections, SmartWire (eg. Meyer-Berger technology), and shingled cells with new interconnect materials.

Dynamic coevolution of baseflow and multiscale groundwater flow system during prolonged droughts

Field and numerical studies suggest that baseflow is composed of waters from a spectrum of groundwater flow paths termed the Groundwater Flow System (GWFS) – from shallow hillslope contributions to watershed-scale deep circulation originating in headwaters and discharging into lowland rivers. Here, we explore the evolution of the GWFS under prolonged droughts to understand its dynamics and multiscale nature, and to elucidate its role in baseflow generation and recession at the watershed scale. In this work, we consider three drought scenarios of varying severity and simulate groundwater flow in a 2-D cross-section of an idealized watershed with deep permeable bedrock, tracking the evolution of flow paths, baseflow, and residence times during the recession process. We find that baseflow generation at different drainage stages, and within different subwatersheds, is influenced distinctly by flow paths of different scales, depending on the relative strength of the flow paths and the position of the subwatersheds relative to the recharge/discharge zones of the deeper watershed-scale groundwater circulation. Despite having the same local relief, geology, and climate, baseflow from each subwatershed has a distinct recession behavior and time-dependent residence time distribution. Also, the hydraulic and transport characteristics of baseflow generation co-evolve and are strongly affected by the connection state of the water table to subwatersheds. These findings suggest that asynchrony and dissimilarity of baseflow generation from hillslopes under the impact of the watershed-scale groundwater flow, and interactions with local-scale and intermediate-scale groundwater flow, must be taken into account when interpreting baseflow recession data and building conceptual baseflow models at the watershed scale.

Temperature evolution of the phonon dynamics in the Kitaev spin liquid

In this work, we present a study of the phonon dynamics in the honeycomb Kitaev spin model at finite temperatures. We show that the fractionalized spin excitations of the Kitaev spin liquid, the itinerant Majorana fermions, and static Z 2 fluxes have distinct effects on the phonon dynamics, which makes the phonon dynamics a promising tool for exploring the Kitaev spin liquid candidate materials. In particular, we focus on the signature of the fractionalized excitations in the thermodynamic behavior of the sound attenuation and the phonon Hall viscosity: the former describes the phonon decay into the fractionalized excitations, and the latter is the leading order time-reversal symmetry breaking effect on the acoustic phonon. We find that the angular dependence of the attenuation coefficient and its magnitude is modified by the thermal excitation of the Z 2 fluxes. The strength of this effect strongly depends on the relative magnitude of the sound velocity and the Fermi velocity characterizing the low-energy Majorana fermions. We also show that the Hall viscosity is strongly suppressed by the increase of the density of the Z 2 fluxes at finite temperatures. All these observations reflect the effects of the emergent disorder on the Majorana fermions introduced by the Z 2 fluxes. Our analysis is based on the complementary analytical calculations in the low-temperature zero-flux sector, and numerical calculations in the inhomogeneous flux sectors at intermediate and high temperatures with stratified Monte Carlo (strMC) method.

Atomistic simulations for investigation of substrate effects on lipid in-source fragmentation in secondary ion mass spectrometry

In beam-based ionization methods, the substrate plays an important role on the desorption mechanism of molecules from surfaces. Both the specific orientation that a molecule adopts at a surface and the strength of the molecule-surface interaction can greatly influence desorption processes, which in turn will affect the ion yield and the degree of in-source fragmentation of a molecule. In the beam-based method of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), in-source fragmentation can be significant and molecule specific due to the hard ionization method of using a primary ion beam for molecule desorption. To investigate the role of the substrate on orientation and in-source fragmentation, we have used atomistic simulations—molecular dynamics in combination with density functional theory calculations—to explore the desorption of a sphingolipid (palmitoylsphingomyelin) from a model surface (gold). We then compare SIMS data from this model system to our modeling findings. Using this approach, we found that the combined adsorption and binding energy of certain bonds associated with the headgroup fragments (C3H8N+, C5H12N+, C5H14NO+, and C5H15PNO4+) was a good predictor for fragment intensities (as indicated by relative ion yields). This is the first example where atomistic simulations have been applied in beam-based ionization of lipids, and it presents a new approach to study biointerfacial lipid ordering effects on SIMS imaging.

RaDIATE Collaboration Thermal shock studies

As next-generation accelerator target facilities (High Energy Physics, Spallation Sources, ... ) become increasingly more powerful and intense, high power target systems face key technical challenges, such as radiation damage and thermal shock. Those ultimately degrade the performance and lifetime of targets and have been identified as the leading cross-cutting challenges of high-power target facilities. In order to operate reliable beam-intercepting devices in the framework of energy and intensity increase for next generation accelerators, the RaDIATE Collaboration (Radiation Damage In Accelerator Target Environment), established in 2012 and managed by Fermilab, brings together existing expertise in nuclear material and accelerator targets from 20 international institutions, including CERN, to execute a coordinated strategy for high power targetry R&D. In this context, several thermal shock studies were performed at CERN's HiRadMat (High-Radiation to Materials) facility, that took a key step towards improving our knowledge on target damage tolerance. The first experiment HRMT-24, supported by EURCARD2 and completed in 2015, successfully validated the Johnson-Cook strength model developed at SwRI on beryllium S200FH (used for beam window material), providing a better confidence in simulating the thermal shock response of current and future S200FH beryllium components. HRMT-43, supported by ARIES and completed in 2018, tested various materials (Be, C, SiC, Si, Ti and ceramic nanofiber). It was a first and unique test which included pre-irradiated specimens from high energy proton beam irradiation to identify thermal shock response differences between non-irradiated and previously irradiated materials. Real-time measurement of dynamic thermomechanical response of graphite helped to benchmark numerical simulations.

Lattice dynamics of high-pressure hydrides studied by inelastic neutron scattering

Due to the small mass and anomalously large neutron scattering cross-section of proton (about 80 barns compared to a few barns for other nuclei), inelastic neutron scattering is considered as one of the most effective tools in studying optical vibrations of hydrogen atoms in metal hydrides. The current review is focused on the binary hydrides of 3d- and 4d-metals of groups VI–VIII, which were produced at high hydrogen pressures of several gigapascals in relatively large quantities of hundreds of mg, quenched to low temperature and studied by INS ex situ at ambient pressure with high statistical accuracy. One of the unusual effects revealed by INS is a strong increase in the strength of the metal-hydrogen interactions with decreasing atomic number of the d-metal accompanied by an increase in the Me-H distance. Based on the available experimental results, the spectra g(E) of the phonon density of states and temperature dependencies CV(T) of the heat capacity at constant volume at T up to 1000 K have been derived in this paper and presented both in the figures and in digital form. This provides the reference data for the theoretical investigations of the crystal structures and compositions of new practically important hydrides giving the opportunity to validate calculation methods by comparing the calculated g(E) and CV(T) with the accurate experimental dependencies for the binary hydrides. Recent INS studies showed [R.A. Klein et al., J. Alloy. Compd. 894 (2022) 162381] that the fingerprints of anomalously short H-H separations of 1.6 Å violating the “2 Å rule” can be easily and unambiguously identified in the complex INS spectra of quaternary hydrides (La,Ce)NiInH 1+x . This makes neutron spectroscopy an attractive means for obtaining valuable data in the search for novel hydrides with a record high hydrogen capacity.

Computational Insights into Malononitrile-Based Carbanions for CO 2 Capture

Although anionic N and O sites have been widely used in chemisorption of CO 2 , carbanions are much less explored for CO 2 capture. Here, in this study, we employ ab initio calculations and quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the interaction between CO 2 and the malononitrile carbanion, [CH(CN) 2 ] – . We have explored the potential energy surface of CO 2 binding by scanning the C–C distance between CO 2 and the central C site of the carbanion. We find that CO 2 prefers to bind to the nitrile group physically rather than to form a C–C bond via the carboxylation reaction at the sp 2 C site. Moreover, the two –CN groups can attract two CO 2 molecules at equal strength. The presence of an alkali metal ion enhances both physical and chemical interactions of CO 2 with the malononitrile carbanion. QM/MM MD simulations further confirm the preference of physical interaction in the condensed ionic liquid phase with a phosphonium cation. Our findings suggest that ionic liquids based on the malononitrile carbanion may have a high CO 2 solubility for carbon capture.

Mechanisms of Metal Additive-Induced Ordering During SNIPS Membrane Formation

Isoporous membranes can be fabricated by combining self-assembly with nonsolvent induced phase separation (SNIPS) using an amphiphilic block copolymer like polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (SV). Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (V) is known to complex with metal salts, which are hypothesized to stabilize solution ordering and preserve structure during casting. We explored how the molar ratio of metal additive to the poly(4-vinylpyridine) block affected the final membrane morphology via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Dynamic light scattering (DLS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and in situ grazing-incidence SAXS were used to track changes in solution ordering and chain conformation as a function of the molar ratio of the additive to the V block. Additives induced aggregation, promoted the formation of more compact conformations in solution, and facilitated micelle ordering onto lattices at optimal ratios. Furthermore, these experimental results were supported by random phase approximation calculations, which helped explain how the thermodynamic order–disorder transition shifts with additive binding strength. Stronger additive–polymer interactions reduced the block copolymer volume fraction required for ordering in solution, allowing ordered domains to form at lower polymer concentrations.

Reversible electrowetting transitions on superhydrophobic surfaces

An electric field applied across the interface has been shown to enable transitions from the Cassie to the Wenzel state on superhydrophobic surfaces with miniature corrugations. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations manifest the possibility of reversible cycling between the two states when narrow surface wells support spontaneous expulsion of water in the absence of the field. With approximately 1 nm sized wells between the surface asperities, the response times to changes in the electric field are of O(0.1) ns, allowing up to GHz frequency of the cycle. Because of the orientation preferences of interfacial water in contact with the solid, the phenomenon depends on the polarity of the field normal to the interface. The threshold field strength for the Cassie-to-Wenzel transition is significantly lower for the field pointing from the aqueous phase to the surface; however, once in the Wenzel state, the opposite field direction secures tighter filling of the wells. Considerable hysteresis revealed by the delayed water retraction at decreasing field strength indicates the presence of moderate kinetic barriers to expulsion. Known to scale approximately with the square of the length scale of the corrugations, these barriers preclude the use of increased corrugation sizes while the reduction of the well diameter necessitates stronger electric fields. Field-controlled Cassie-to-Wenzel transitions are therefore optimized by using superhydrophobic surfaces with nanosized corrugations. Abrupt changes indicate a high degree of cooperativity reflecting the correlations between the wetting states of interconnected wells on the textured surface.

Microstructure evolution, enhanced aging kinetics, and mechanical properties of AA7075 alloy after friction extrusion

In the present study we utilized Friction Extrusion (FE) a solid phase processing technique to produce fully consolidated dense 5 mm rods of AA7075 alloy. The combination of large shear stresses and temperatures at the tool-billet interface during the FE process resulted in the formation of dynamically recrystallized ~2.0 μm equiaxed grains and fine uniformly distributed stable η (MgZn 2 ) precipitates ~25–100 nm in size. Formation of such a microstructure resulted in lower solutionizing temperature and times (flash annealing) as compared to the conventionally extruded counterparts. Here we demonstrate for the first time that the solutionizing times for the T6 heat treatment of AA7075 can be reduced by three times using this FE process. In addition to being an energy efficient process, FE also serves to improve the performance of AA7075 alloys by retaining their strength while enhancing the ductility of the material. The tensile data for samples that were flash annealed and artificially aged after FE processing showed exceptional increase in ultimate tensile strength by over 19% and yield strength by over 59%, compared with an as-FE-processed sample.

Quantifying Single-Ion Transport in Percolated Ionic Aggregates of Polymer Melts

Single-ion conducting polymers such as ionomers are promising battery electrolyte materials, but it is critical to understand how rates and mechanisms of free cation transport depend on the nanoscale aggregation of cations and polymer-bound anions. We perform coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of ionomer melts to understand cation mobility as a function of polymer architecture, background relative permittivity, and corresponding ionic aggregate morphology. In systems exhibiting percolated ionic aggregates, cations diffuse via stepping motions along the ionic aggregates. These diffusivities can be quantitatively predicted by calculating the lifetimes of continuous association between oppositely charged ions, which equal the time scales of the stepping (diffusive) motions. In contrast, predicting cation diffusivity for systems with isolated ionic aggregates requires another time scale. Finally, our results suggest that to improve conductivity the Coulombic interaction strength should be strong enough to favor percolated aggregates but weak enough to facilitate ion dissociation.

Explosive fragmentation of additively manufactured stainless steel

Properties of fragmentation from an explosively driven 316L stainless steel spherical shell section fabricated by a laser powder bed additive manufacturing process with minimal surface finishing are investigated. This shell is driven by an insensitive high explosive, resulting in high strain rate deformation (>8 × 10 3 s –1 ) and failure of the stainless steel. Photonic Doppler velocimetry measures the expansion rate; dynamic radiography and high-speed imaging capture the fracture behavior of the stainless steel. The fracture response of the additively manufactured stainless steel shell is compared to published experimental results on additively manufactured 316L stainless steel and conventionally manufactured wrought 316L and 304 stainless steel shell fragmentation. Despite preferred crack orientation, suggesting the influence of surface grooves on fracture time, fragment size is identical to that measured in a similar experiment on wrought 304 stainless steel. Further analysis indicates that the 316L additively manufactured stainless steel shell exhibits comparable spall strength and fragmentation toughness to conventionally manufactured stainless steel yet lower failure strain due to surface stress concentrations.

First inverse kinematics measurement of resonances in Be 7 ( α , γ ) C 11 relevant to neutrino-driven wind nucleosynthesis using DRAGON

A possible mechanism to explain the origin of the light $\textit{p}$ nuclei in the Galaxy is the nucleosynthesis in the proton-rich neutrino-driven wind ejecta of core-collapse supernovas via the $\textit{νp}$ process. However, this production scenario is very sensitive to the underlying supernova dynamics and the nuclear physics input. As far as the nuclear uncertainties are concerned, the breakout from the $\textit{pp}$ chains via the 7 Be(α,γ) 11 C reaction has been identified as an important link which can influence the nuclear flow and, therefore, the efficiency of the $\textit{νp}$ process. However, its reaction rate is poorly known over the relevant temperature range, $\textit{T}$ = 1.5–3 GK. We report on the first direct measurement of two resonances of the 7 Be(α,γ) 11 C reaction with previously unknown strengths using an intense radioactive 7 Be beam from the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC-I) Center facility and the DRAGON recoil separator in inverse kinematics. In this work, we have decreased the 7 Be(α,γ) 11 C reaction rate uncertainty to ≈9.4–10.7% over the relevant temperature region.

Motional Squeezing for Trapped Ion Transport and Separation

Transport, separation, and merging of trapped ion crystals are essential operations for most large-scale quantum computing architectures. In this Letter, we develop a theoretical framework that describes the dynamics of ions in time-varying potentials with a motional squeeze operator, followed by a motional displacement operator. Using this framework, we develop a new, general protocol for trapped ion transport, separation, and merging. We show that motional squeezing can prepare an ion wave packet to enable transfer from the ground state of one trapping potential to another. Here, the framework and protocol are applicable if the potential is harmonic over the extent of the ion wave packets at all times. As illustrations, we discuss two specific operations: changing the strength of the confining potential for a single ion and separating same-species ions with their mutual Coulomb force. Both of these operations are, ideally, free of residual motional excitation.

Structure–Activity Relationships in Ether-Functionalized Solid-State Metal–Organic Framework Electrolytes

The structure–property relationships of metal–organic framework (MOF)-based solid-state electrolytes are not well understood. Herein, a systematic investigation of 12 Zr(IV)-based UiO-66 MOFs with varying ether-chain functional groups was carried out to elucidate the critical microscopic interactions that facilitate improved solid-state electrolyte performance. Enhanced sampling molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed and revealed a three-tier ion hopping mechanism: linker–linker hopping, linker-counterion hopping, and counterion-counterion hopping. Detailed structural analysis of the MD trajectories revealed that the chemistry and morphology of the linker groups affect the relative stability and population distribution of the electrolyte components, such that crown-ether-based linker groups enhance the probability of extended, low-barrier ion percolation pathways. As a result, we were able to tune the ionic conductivities by rationally manipulating the counterion distributions, linker binding strengths, and the configurational entropy (multivariability of the linkers). The resulting performance of these MOF-based solid-state electrolytes was significantly enhanced, with a methoxy-functionalized framework (UiO-66-L1 100 ) achieving high ionic conductivities of 2.32 × 10 –4 S/cm and 2.07 × 10 –3 S/cm at 30 °C and 90 °C, respectively, an order of magnitude greater than other all-solid-state MOF electrolyte systems. The electrolyte stability was evaluated with LiIn|LPSCl|MOF:LiTFSI|LPSCl|LiIn symmetric cells, showing excellent Li plating/stripping processes for over 2 months.
