Epitaxial growth, magnetoresistance, and electronic band structure of GdSb magnetic semimetal films

Motivated by observations of extreme magnetoresistance (XMR) in bulk crystals of rare-earth monopnictide (RE-V) compounds and emerging applications in novel spintronic and plasmonic devices based on thin-film semimetals, we have investigated the electronic band structure and transport behavior of epitaxial GdSb thin films grown on III-V semiconductor surfaces. The Gd 3 + ion in GdSb has a high spin S=7/2 and no orbital angular momentum, serving as a model system for studying the effects of antiferromagnetic order and strong exchange coupling on the resulting Fermi surface and magnetotransport properties of RE-Vs. Here, we present a surface and structural characterization study mapping the optimal synthesis window of thin epitaxial GdSb films grown on III-V lattice-matched buffer layers via molecular-beam epitaxy. To determine the factors limiting XMR in RE-V thin films and provide a benchmark for band-structure predictions of topological phases of RE-Vs, the electronic band structure of GdSb thin films is studied, comparing carrier densities extracted from magnetotransport, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. ARPES shows a hole-carrier rich, topologically trivial, semimetallic band structure close to complete electron-hole compensation, with quantum confinement effects in the thin films observed through the presence of quantum-well states. DFT-predicted Fermi wave vectors are in excellent agreement with values obtained from quantum oscillations observed in magnetic field-dependent resistivity measurements. An electron-rich Hall coefficient is measured despite the higher hole-carrier density, attributed to the higher electron Hall mobility. The carrier mobilities are limited by surface and interface scattering, resulting in lower magnetoresistance than that measured for bulk crystals.

BONCAT-Live for isolation and cultivation of active environmental bacteria

In diverse environments, microbes drive a myriad of processes, from geochemical and nutrient cycling to interspecies interactions, including associations with plants and animals. Their physiological state is dynamic and impacted by abiotic and biotic conditions, responding to environmental fluctuations by changes in cellular metabolism, according to their genetic potential. Molecular, cellular, and genomic approaches can identify and measure microbial responses and adaptation to environmental changes in native communities. However, isolating individual microbial cells that respond to specific changes for cultivation has been difficult. To address this, we implemented a novel bacterial isolation approach (BONCAT-Live) by integrating bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) in diverse native communities, with isolation and cultivation of cells responding to specific stimuli, at different time scales. In frozen Arctic permafrost samples, we identified and isolated dormant bacteria that become active after thawing under native or nutrient-enriched conditions. From the Populus tree rhizosphere, we isolated strains that thrive under high concentrations of root exudates that act as defense compounds and nutrients. In the human microbiome, we identified and isolated bacteria that rapidly proliferated when exposed to metabolites provided by the host or other co-occurring microbes. Further characterization of isolated bacterial strains will provide opportunities for in-depth determination of how these microbes adapt to changes in their environments, individually and as part of model communities.

Evolution and engineering of pathways for aromatic O -demethylation in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

In this study, biological conversion of lignin from biomass offers a promising strategy for sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. However, aromatic compounds derived from lignin commonly contain methoxy groups, and O-demethylation of these substrates is often a rate-limiting reaction that influences catabolic efficiency. Several enzyme families catalyze aromatic O-demethylation, but they are rarely compared in vivo to determine an optimal biocatalytic strategy. Here, two pathways for aromatic O-demethylation were compared in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. The native Rieske non-heme iron monooxygenase (VanAB) and, separately, a heterologous tetrahydrofolate-dependent demethylase (LigM) were constitutively expressed in P. putida, and the strains were optimized via adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) with vanillate as a model substrate. All evolved strains displayed improved growth phenotypes, with the evolved strains harboring the native VanAB pathway exhibiting growth rates ~1.8x faster than those harboring the heterologous LigM pathway. Enzyme kinetics and transcriptomics studies investigated the contribution of selected mutations toward enhanced utilization of vanillate. The VanAB-overexpressing strains contained the most impactful mutations, including those in VanB, the reductase for vanillate O-demethylase, PP_3494, a global regulator of vanillate catabolism, and fghA, involved in formaldehyde detoxification. These three mutations were combined into a single strain, which exhibited approximately 5x faster vanillate consumption than the wild-type strain in the first 8 h of cultivation. Overall, this study illuminates the details of vanillate catabolism in the context of two distinct enzymatic mechanisms, yielding a platform strain for efficient O-demethylation of lignin-related aromatic compounds to value-added products.

Spatiotemporal Crossover between Low- and High-Temperature Dynamical Regimes in the Quantum Heisenberg Magnet

The stranglehold of low temperatures on fascinating quantum phenomena in one-dimensional quantum magnets has been challenged recently by the discovery of anomalous spin transport at high temperatures. Whereas both regimes have been investigated separately, no study has attempted to reconcile them. For instance, the paradigmatic quantum Heisenberg spin-$1/2$ chain falls at low-temperature within the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid framework, while its high-temperature dynamics is superdiffusive and relates to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in $1+1$ dimensions. This work aims at reconciling the two regimes. Building on large-scale matrix product state simulations, we find that they are connected by a temperature-dependent spatiotemporal crossover. In this work, as the temperature $T$ is reduced, we show that the onset of superdiffusion takes place at longer length and time scales $\propto 1/T$. This prediction has direct consequences for experiments including nuclear magnetic resonance: it is consistent with earlier measurements on the nearly ideal Heisenberg $S=1/2$ chain compound Sr$_2$CuO$_3$ yet calls for new and dedicated experiments.

Global compilation of soil methane uptake measurements from 1984 to 2018

This data package contains a global compilation of soil methane uptake measurements collected from published field studies between 1989 and 2022. The dataset was developed to support machine learning (ML) estimation of the global terrestrial methane soil sink and includes monthly methane uptake rates, measurement dates, site coordinates, and associated ecosystem information from different ecosystems. Data were compiled from 164 peer-reviewed publications across approximately 260 study sites, resulting in ~12,000 monthly observations after quality control screening and removal of manipulated experimental treatments. The database was further processed to generate site-averaged methane uptake estimates for comparison between process-based (PB) and ML models.

Diatom volatile organic compound production is driven by diel metabolism and the cell cycle

Introduction: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are small, low-vapor-pressure molecules emitted from the surface ocean into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, VOCs can change OH reactivity and condense onto particles to become cloud condensation nuclei. VOCs are produced by phytoplankton, but the conditions leading to VOC accumulation in the surface ocean are poorly understood.Methods: In this study, VOC accumulation was measured in real time over a 12 h day−12 h night cycle in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum during exponential growth.Results: Sixty-three m/z signals were produced in higher concentrations than in cell-free controls. All VOCs, except methanol, were continuously produced over 24 h. All VOCs accumulated to higher concentrations during the day compared to the night, and 11 VOCs exhibited distinct accumulation patterns during the morning hours. Twenty-seven VOCs were associated with known metabolic pathways in P. tricornutum, with most VOCs involved in amino acid and fatty acid metabolism.Discussion: Patterns of VOC production were strongly associated with diel shifts in cell physiology and the cell cycle. Diel VOC production patterns give a fundamental understanding of the first steps in VOC accumulation in the surface ocean.

Irradiation-induced chemical disordering in ceramics: The case of SiC

Chemical disordering is one feature of damage that occurs in irradiation environments and is common in ceramic compounds. This paper reviews irradiation-induced chemical disordering in SiC-based materials at elevated temperatures. Here the results were obtained using advanced analytical tools to characterize atomistic defects and to evaluate the chemistry of defect clusters and homonuclear bond structures. Finally, this paper demonstrates that chemical disordering is crucial to understanding microstructural stability and establishing a mechanistic modeling of microstructural evolution of irradiated SiC.

Theory of the charge density wave in A V 3 Sb 5 kagome metals

The family of metallic kagome compounds AV 3 Sb 5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) was recently discovered to exhibit both superconductivity and charge order. The nature of the charge density wave (CDW) phase is presently unsettled, which complicates the interpretation of the superconducting ground state. In this paper, we use group theory and density functional theory (DFT) to derive and solve a phenomenological Landau model for this CDW state. The DFT results reveal three unstable phonon modes with the same in-plane momentum but different out-of-plane momenta, whose frequencies depend strongly on the electronic temperature. This is indicative of an electronically driven CDW, stabilized by features of the in-plane electronic dispersion. Motivated by the DFT analysis, we construct a Landau free-energy expansion for coupled CDW order parameters with wave vectors at the M and L points of the hexagonal Brillouin zone. We find an unusual trilinear term coupling these different order parameters, which can promote the simultaneous condensation of both CDWs even if the two modes are not nearly degenerate. We classify the different types of coupled multi-Q CDW orders, focusing on those that break the sixfold rotational symmetry and lead to a unit-cell doubling along all three crystallographic directions, as suggested by experiments. Here, we determine a region in parameter space, characterized by large nonlinear Landau coefficients, where these phases—dubbed staggered trihexagonal and staggered Star of David—are the leading instabilities of the system. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for the kagome metals.

Platinum Group Metals Global Economics Market Supply

Due to uncertainty in the transition away from internal combustion engines (and more importantly, the catalytic convertors these automobiles use), there is large uncertainty in the future of the PGM market. However, proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers could be a new demand application for PGMs. Therefore, a model was developed which utilizes the system dynamics approach to predict supply and prices for specific demand scenarios. Results indicated that the total PGM market value sees a decline in the late 2020s due to changing automotive application demand. Market decline was due to decreasing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle demand resulting in less PGMs supplied for automotive applications. Compounding market decline was an increase in secondary supply of PGMs as more ICE automotives reach their EOL pushing PGM prices down as secondary supply increases while demand simultaneously decreases. Following the market decline, an increase in market value in the early 2030s was observed due to deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technologies and subsequent increase in PGM demand

Modernization efforts for the R -Matrix code SAMMY [Abstract]

The R-Matrix code SAMMY is a widely used nuclear data evaluation code focused on the resolved range, which includes corrections for experimental effects. The code is still mostly written in Fortran 77, and uses a memory management system suitable for the time of its initial writing (1984). A modernization effort is under way to bring the code in-line with modern software development practices. A continuous-integration testing framework was added, automating the large existing set of test cases. It is run on every commit. The memory management was updated to current standard practices suitable for modern software analysis tools. The code can be obtained from https://code.ornl.gov/RNSD/SAMMY. The resonance parameters and covariance information are now stored in C++ objects shared by SAMMY and AMPX, the processing code that generates nuclear data libraries for SCALE. This allows for easier maintenance and access to the resonance parameters inside and outside of SAMMY. This feature is already used by accessing and changing parameters in memory in the Bayesian Monte Carlo Evaluation Framework for Cross Sections Nuclear Data and Integral Benchmark Experiments project, Further plans include the switch to the ENDF reading and writing routines in AMPX, as these routines are more robust, easier to maintain, and support more features. Of note here is support for the new GNDS format. Previously it wasn’t easy to share the full covariance matrix for evaluations containing more than one isotope due to limitations on the ENDF format; this is now supported in GNDS. The data are currently available in a binary SAMMY format and can be exported to GNDS to make them more widely available and sharable. The next step will be to use the same resonance processing code at 0K in AMPX and SAMMY as one of the available Reich-Moore R-Matrix formalism. The first step toward this goal is to isolate the reconstruction into a module that takes resonance parameters as its input and does not depend on SAMMY global parameters. This goal has been achieved and it should now be possible to more easily change the resonance formalism and add enhancements as the Phenomenological R-Matrix parameterization of direct, doorway, and compound nuclear reactions discussed elsewhere on this conference. This concerted modernization and enhancement effort provides multiple advantages to the nuclear data community. It will allow parameter optimization using enhanced formalisms, including experimental effects, that better match complex experimental data. Then those evaluated parameters can immediately be passed off to AMPX to be reconstructed with the exact same cross section model and be put into a data library for subsequent testing using SCALE and the Valid Benchmark suite or other suitable benchmark suites.

Compound Drought and Heatwaves at a Global Scale: The Role of Natural Climate Variability-Associated Synoptic Patterns and Land-Surface Energy Budget Anomalies

Compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) events have garnered much attention in recent studies. However, thus far, the identification of such events is oversimplified, and their association with natural climate variability is not fully explored. Here, we derive anomalies in the weekly self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (sc_PDSI) and daily maximum temperatures to identify CDHW events from 1982 to 2016 over 26 climate regions across the globe. Using a Poisson Generalized Linear Model (GLM), we analyze yearly occurrences of seasonal CDHW events and their association with the warm and cold phases of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). ENSO exhibits robust association with CDHW events over the Southern Hemisphere during the austral summer and fall, while PDO influences their occurrences over the Western North America in the Northern Hemisphere during the boreal summer, which is supported by the composites of anomalies in the atmospheric circulations and surface energy budget. However, NAO association with CDHW events is relatively weak. The CDHW occurrence over other regions is driven by a combination of these large-scale natural forcing. Our analyses also highlight that the cooccurrence of weekly to submonthly scale anomalies in the observed temperature and precipitation may not be always aligned between the observations and the reanalysis. Therefore, caution must be exercised while explaining such observed anomalies on the basis of reanalysis-based circulations and surface energy budget. Lastly, our analyses provide a new insight towards concurrent extremes and should help foster research efforts in this area.

Optimal Sizing and Dispatch of Solar Power with Storage

Designers of utility-scale solar plants with storage, seeking to maximize some aspect of plant performance, face multiple challenges. In many geographic locations, there is significant penetration of photovoltaic generation, which depresses energy prices during the hours of solar availability. An energy storage system affords the opportunity to dispatch during higher-priced time periods, but complicates plant design and dispatch decisions. Solar resource variability compounds these challenges, because determining optimal system sizes requires simultaneously considering how the plant will be operated under the imposed market and weather conditions. We develop an approach to analyze the economic performance of hybrid and single-technology solar power plants, which incorporates optimal dispatch, and considers the expected electricity market and weather conditions. We utilize the System Advisor Model software package to simulate the operation of multiple renewable generation and energy storage technologies, in conjunction with hourly-fidelity generation decisions determined by a revenue-maximizing, mixed-integer linear program. We show that, under our assumed market and weather conditions, the lifetime benefit-to-cost ratio can be improved by 6 to 19 percent, relative to a baseline design without optimizing, and that a concentrating solar power with thermal energy storage design produces significantly more energy per year, but is less profitable under our cost assumptions.

Prenol production in a microbial host via the “Repass” Pathways

Prenol and isoprenol are promising advanced biofuels and serve as biosynthetic precursors for pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and other industrially relevant compounds. Despite engineering improvements that circumvent intermediate cytotoxicity and lower energy barriers, achieving high titer ‘mevalonate (MVA)-derived’ prenol has remained elusive. Difficulty in selective prenol production stems from the necessary isomerization of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) as well as the intrinsic toxicity of these diphosphate precursors. Here, the expression of specific isopentenyl monophosphate kinases with model-guided enzyme substitution of diphosphate isomerases and phosphatases enabled selective cycling of monophosphates and diphosphates, dramatically improving prenol titers and selectivity in Escherichia coli. Pairing this approach with the canonical MVA pathway resulted in 300 mg/L prenol at a 30:1 ratio with isoprenol. Further pairing with the “IPP-Bypass” pathway resulted in 526 mg/L prenol at a 72:1 ratio with isoprenol, the highest and purest MVA-derived prenol titer to date. Additionally, modifying this “IPP-Repass” for DMAPP production and coexpressing the prenyltransferase acPT1 yielded 48.3 mg/L of the potential therapeutic precursor drupanin from p-coumarate. These novel repass pathways establish a unique strategy for tuning diphosphate precursors to drive isoprenoid biosynthesis and prenylation reactions.

Investigation of Mass Transfer and Sorption in CO 2 /Brine/Rock Systems via In Situ FT-IR

CO 2 geological storage in deep saline formations is considered a promising method to mitigate anthropogenic CO 2 emissions and, thereby, minimize changes to the Earth’s atmosphere. A fundamental understanding of CO 2 mass transfer and sorption phenomena in brine-saturated reservoir formations is necessary to understand the long-term fate of injected CO 2 as it is subjected to different (physical, dissolution, and mineral) trapping mechanisms. In this work, we investigate CO 2 sorption in brine-saturated and dry Mt. Simon sandstone samples via in-situ Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) at elevated pressures, ranging from 0.3 MPa to 8.3 MPa, at a temperature of 50 ⁰C. The FT-IR spectra of bulk-phase CO 2 were simultaneously recorded under the same conditions. For bulk-phase CO 2 , we observed, in agreement with past studies, a doublet peak at 2361 cm -1 and 2336 cm -1 and another peak (ν 2 bending mode) at 667 cm -1 . With increasing pressure, the position of the peak at 667 cm -1 remains invariant, however, when crossing into the supercritical region the doublet peak degenerates onto a single peak at 2336 cm -1 with a barely visible shoulder at 2361 cm -1 . The bulk CO 2 data provide a perfect fit for Beer’s law for the whole range of pressure conditions. For the dry sample, the IR spectrum is experimentally indistinguishable from the bulk CO 2 spectrum, signifying that if physical adsorption occurs to any significant extent, the adsorbed CO 2 molecules are not substantially more rotationally constrained than the dense bulk CO 2 molecules. For the brine-saturated sample, we observe a strong band centered at 2342 cm -1 and a small companion peak at 2360-2361 cm -1 that degenerates into a barely visible shoulder peak at the higher pressures. The 2342 cm -1 band has been previously observed by other investigators for CO 2 dissolved in bulk water/brine as well during its adsorption on a variety of other wet natural porous media. We observe no peaks corresponding to bicarbonate or carbonate bulk species, which correlates well with the prior literature on similar low-pH aqueous solutions. The integrated peak area for the CO 2 sorbed in the brine-saturated sample correlates linearly with its solubility in the same bulk brine, as measured separately via a PVT-cell approach. Here, this validates the accuracy of both techniques, and the potential of the FT-IR method to be used in the study of mass transfer and adsorption in such systems. To that effect, a simple mathematical model is presented to analyze the FT-IR data to determine the CO 2 effective diffusivity in the brine-saturated sandstone sample.

Reactivity and Mechanisms of Methane, Ethane, and Benzene C–H Amination with an Iodine(III) Bistriflimide Complex

The iodine(III) bistriflamide complex (C 6 F 5 ) III I(NTf 2 ) 2 in HNTf 2 (bistriflimide acid; (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 NH) selectively aminates methane and ethane. At a 100 °C reaction with methane after 3 h, it resulted in the exclusive formation of MeNTf 2 with a yield of approximately 40%. For ethane, at 100 °C in 2 h, a > 80% yield was found for a combination of monofunctionalized and difunctionalized amination products. In contrast to alkanes giving functionalized products, the reaction of (C 6 F 5 ) III I(NTf 2 ) 2 with benzene resulted in being stalled at (C 6 F 5 )I III (Ph)(NTf 2 ) with a <5% conversion to PhNTf 2 even at 120 °C. PWPB95-D3(BJ) density functional theory calculations indicate that C–H activation is the lowest energy pathway to break the hydrocarbon bonds and is lower in energy than radical, electron-transfer, proton-coupled electron-transfer, or hydride substitution pathways. For methane, from the (C 6 F 5 )I III (CH 3 )(NTf 2 ) intermediate, there is a one-step amine functionalization mechanism that avoids a carbocation intermediate. For ethane, from the (C 6 F 5 )I III (Et)(NTf 2 ) intermediate, dynamics simulations suggest the possibility of a competitive two-step functionalization pathway that involves a short-lived carbocation intermediate. As a result, a reaction coordinate strain analysis provides a straightforward model for understanding the relative reactivity rates for alkyl versus aryl functionalization.

Sucrose transport inside the phloem: Bridging hydrodynamics and geometric characteristics

In plants, the delivery of the products of photosynthesis is achieved through a hydraulic system labeled as phloem. This semi-permeable plant tissue consists of living cells that contract and expand in response to fluid pressure and flow velocity fluctuations. The Münch pressure flow theory, which is based on osmosis providing the necessary pressure gradient to drive the mass flow of carbohydrates, is currently the most accepted model for such sucrose transport. When this hypothesis is combined with the conservation of fluid mass and momentum as well as sucrose mass, many simplifications must be invoked to mathematically close the problem and to resolve the flow. Here this study revisits such osmotically driven flows by developing a new two-dimensional numerical model in cylindrical coordinates for an elastic membrane and a concentration-dependent viscosity. It is demonstrated that the interaction between the hydrodynamic and externally supplied geometrical characteristic of the phloem has a significant effect on the front speed of sucrose transport. These results offer a novel perspective about the evolutionary adaptation of plant hydraulic traits to optimize phloem soluble compounds transport efficiency.

Molecular level characterization of wildfire aerosol induced changes to plant health and value

The potential impacts of wildfire smoke on plant health and value are of increasing concern, due both to increasing awareness, and more frequent wildfire events. Wildfires produce substantial amounts of atmospheric pollution in smoke and particulate matter which can travel thousands of miles. These smoke events can blanket entire agricultural regions and cause impacts to plant development. One notable example of this is ‘smoke taint’ in wine, where vines, exposed to smoke, absorb many small volatile phenolic (VP) compounds. These VPs can be metabolized (glycosylated) and transported throughout the plant. Later, during downstream processing (fermentation of the grape musts), these glycosylated VPs can be hydrolyzed to re-release and volatilize the aroma-active phenolic compounds. The final product, thus, smells of smoke. Despite the obvious commercial and general research interests here, the nature of wildfire impacts on plant health are incompletely understood. Using established metabolomics and organic matter (aerosol) characterization methods, the overall aim of this proposal is thus to study wildfire smoke impacts on plant health and value, in the context of a model system (V. vinifera). This project closed early, and this report reflects some of the limited work conducted prior to conclusions. Specifically, this report discusses some sample preparation and initial MALDI-mass spectrometry analysis.

Permitting Commercial Geologic CO 2 Storage Projects

Conference presentation at 2023 Rocky Mountain Section-American Association of Petroleum Geologists (RMS-AAPG) Annual Meeting, Bismarck, ND, June 4–6, 2023. Successful Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) projects depend on clear and applicable regulatory requirements that are thoroughly understood by project developers. It is evident that states are best positioned to regulate CO 2 storage through comprehensive regulations and permitting efficiencies. Further, tax incentives and an emphasis on low-carbon fuels compound to make CCUS more attractive to investors and states alike.
