Dynamical fractal and anomalous noise in a clean magnetic crystal

Fractals—objects with noninteger dimensions—occur in manifold settings and length scales in nature. In this work, we identify an emergent dynamical fractal in a disorder-free, stoichiometric, and three-dimensional magnetic crystal in thermodynamic equilibrium. The phenomenon is born from constraints on the dynamics of the magnetic monopole excitations in spin ice, which restrict them to move on the fractal. This observation explains the anomalous exponent found in magnetic noise experiments in the spin ice compound Dy 2 Ti 2 O 7 , and it resolves a long-standing puzzle about its rapidly diverging relaxation time. Here, the capacity of spin ice to exhibit such notable phenomena suggests that there will be further unexpected discoveries in the cooperative dynamics of even simple topological many-body systems.

Diffusion of silver over atomically clean silicon surfaces

The diffusion of silver the (111), (100), and (110) silicon surfaces is studied by Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction. The mechanisms of diffusion over the (111) and (110) surfaces are revealed, and the temperature dependences of diffusion coefficients are measured. An anisotropy of silver diffusion over the (110) surface is detected.

Diffusion of Ag, Sn, and Pb over Atomically Clean Ge(111) Surface

Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction were used to study the diffusion of Ag, Sn, and Pb over the Ge (111) surface. The mechanisms of diffusion of atoms of these elements over the Ge(111) surface are determined, and the temperature dependences of the diffusion coefficients are measured. The parameters of diffusion of these elements over the Ge(111) and Si (111) surfaces are compared.

Data Cleaning and Analysis Scripts for Individual Traits in the Dunning-Kruger Effect Study

This code was built to recode and analyze survey data. The recoding script was built in Python while the data analysis script was built in R. The recoding script takes the raw survey data text and converts it to a numeric coding scheme. The data analysis script conducts analyses recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA) for data of this type. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.

Wavelength-Independent Coherence Cleaning by Parametric Plasma Amplification

Although incoherence generally suppresses stimulated scattering processes in plasma, here we show that this requirement relaxes for parametric amplification in the pump-depletion regime, including for x rays, providing a compact wavelength-independent source of high-peak-power radiation.

Characterization of laser-induced plasmas associated with energetic laser cleaning of metal particles on fused silica surfaces

Here, time-resolved plasma emission spectroscopy was used to characterize the energy coupling and temperature rise associated with single, 10-ns pulsed laser ablation of metallic particles bound to transparent substrates. Plasma associated with Fe(I) emission lines originating from steel microspheres was observed to cool from >24,000 to ~15,000 K over ~220 ns as $\tau$ -0.28 , consistent with radiative losses and adiabatic gas expansion of a relatively free plasma. Simultaneous emission lines from Si(II) associated with the plasma etching of the SiO2 substrate were observed yielding higher plasma temperatures, ~35,000 K, relative to the Fe(I) plasma. Lastly, the difference in species temperatures is consistent with plasma confinement at the microsphere-substrate interface as the particle is ejected, and is directly visualized using pump-probe shadowgraphy as a function of pulsed laser energy.

Clean Industry in China: A Techno-Economic Comparison of Electrified Heat Technologies, Barriers, and Policy Options

China’s manufacturing sector generates 61% of the country’s CO 2 emissions, nearly three-quarters of which is related to industrial process heating. To meet China’s climate targets and attain a zero-carbon industrial sector, decarbonizing these industrial heating processes is a necessity. If China’s electricity grid is similarly decarbonized, direct electrification is the most practical means of supplying this heat efficiently at the required scale.

Iowa: Iowa's Clean Energy Resources and Economy [Brochure]

By harnessing its vast natural resources, Iowa has become a leader in renewable energy production. Iowa was the largest producer of ethanol in the United States in 2011—accounting for more than a quarter of the nation’s fuel ethanol production. Iowa, home to nine wind industry manufacturing facilities in 2010, ranks second in the country in installed wind capacity, with 4,322 megawatts installed at the end of 2011. This installed wind capacity is estimated, in an average year, to supply approximately 20% of Iowa’s entire in-state electricity generation. Iowa’s high utilization of wind power has propelled the state to third in the nation for total installed renewable electricity capacity. Additionally, Iowa’s potential for using biopower produced from solid materials is second in the country, behind only Illinois. Iowa owes part of its success to its early policy support for renewable energy. The first capacity target in Iowa’s Alternative Energy Law, passed in 1983, was met in 1997. This early success led to former Iowa Governor Vilsack’s 2003 call for Iowa to deploy 1,000 MW of renewable energy—a goal that was met in 2006. Although Iowa’s renewable energy capacity requirements are met mostly by wind, other eligible resources include solar, waste management, resource recovery, refuse-derived fuel, agricultural crops or residues, wood-burning facilities, and small hydropower facilities. The state has also made a strong commitment to energy efficiency. Iowa’s investor-owned utilities more than doubled the budgets of their efficiency programs from 2002 to 2007, passing the $\$$100 million mark in 2006.
