Solving disorder in (3D) real space: a comparative study of the three-dimensional difference pair distribution function and atomic resolution holography reconstructions

The quantitative analysis of local ordering principles in disordered crystalline systems has gained much attention over the past few years, as it is often considered crucial for optimizing material functionality. This development has been driven by significant advancements in computational and experimental methods, which have led to the establishment and widespread use of various analytical techniques. In this study, we perform model calculations to compare the effectiveness of atomic resolution holography and three-dimensional difference pair distribution function analysis (3D-ΔPDF). Using Cu 3 Au as a model system, we demonstrate an approach to derive local order parameters quantitatively and show that both techniques are well suited to quantifying chemical short-range order correlations and local bond-distance variations. By evaluating the strengths and limitations of both techniques, we advocate for their combined use to solve complex short-range order problems accurately.

Neutron Characterization for Additive Manufacturing

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is leveraging decades of experience in neutron characterization of advanced materials together with resources such as the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) shown in Fig. 1 to solve challenging problems in additive manufacturing (AM). Additive manufacturing, or three-dimensional (3-D) printing, is a rapidly maturing technology wherein components are built by selectively adding feedstock material at locations specified by a computer model. The majority of these technologies use thermally driven phase change mechanisms to convert the feedstock into functioning material. As the molten material cools and solidifies, the component is subjected to significant thermal gradients, generating significant internal stresses throughout the part (Fig. 2). As layers are added, inherent residual stresses cause warping and distortions that lead to geometrical differences between the final part and the original computer generated design. This effect also limits geometries that can be fabricated using AM, such as thin-walled, high-aspect- ratio, and overhanging structures. Distortion may be minimized by intelligent toolpath planning or strategic placement of support structures, but these approaches are not well understood and often "Edisonian" in nature. Residual stresses can also impact component performance during operation. For example, in a thermally cycled environment such as a high-pressure turbine engine, residual stresses can cause components to distort unpredictably. Different thermal treatments on as-fabricated AM components have been used to minimize residual stress, but components still retain a nonhomogeneous stress state and/or demonstrate a relaxation-derived geometric distortion. Industry, federal laboratory, and university collaboration is needed to address these challenges and enable the U.S. to compete in the global market. Work is currently being conducted on AM technologies at the ORNL Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) sponsored by the DOE's Advanced Manufacturing Office. The MDF is focusing on R&D of both metal and polymer AM pertaining to in-situ process monitoring and closed-loop controls; implementation of advanced materials in AM technologies; and demonstration, characterization, and optimization of next-generation technologies. ORNL is working directly with industry partners to leverage world-leading facilities in fields such as high performance computing, advanced materials characterization, and neutron sciences to solve fundamental challenges in advanced manufacturing. Specifically, MDF is leveraging two of the world's most advanced neutron facilities, the HFIR and SNS, to characterize additive manufactured components.

Theoretical and Experimental Insights into CO 2 Capture and Methanation over Amine-Grafted Ru-Based Catalysts

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, along with CO 2 capture and conversion methods, have emerged as crucial research areas to address rising CO 2 emissions. In this study, we seek to understand the mechanistic role of amines in enabling lower-energy pathways for CO 2 conversion. Our research focuses on the development and analysis of dual-functional materials (DFMs) engineered for the reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO 2 into methane, utilizing Ru catalysts grafted with amine groups. We employ Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations using methylamine as a model amine to investigate the impact of amine groups on CO 2 methanation on a Ru(0001) surface, both in the presence and absence of amine groups. The amine ligand alters the carbon coordination environment, promoting direct C–O dissociation and potentially destabilizing the CO* adsorbate, thereby reducing the risk of CO poisoning. Additionally, we observe a preference for hydrogenation, although it becomes more energetically uphill in the amine-bound scenario. Our experiments, however, report similar CO 2 conversion and CH 4 production rates over the synthesized catalysts “Ru/TiO 2 ” and the amine (N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminoproplytrimethoxysilane (“diaminosilane”)) deposited catalyst “Diamine−Ru/TiO 2 ”. By constructing comparative reaction-free energy diagrams and performing microkinetic modeling (MKM) simulations, we link our theoretical findings with experimentally observed CO 2 uptake, conversion, and methane production rates. A microkinetic model was employed to investigate the anomaly, showing reduced amine–carbon complex coverage and increased CO 2 coverage at all temperatures. The MKM simulations consistently confirmed these trends. In conclusion, this comprehensive approach offers key insights into the role of the amine-CO 2 bond in methanation, highlighting a pathway toward lower-energy, more efficient CO 2 capture and conversion processes.

Metallized Nanotube Polymer Composite (MNPC) and Methods for Making Same

A novel method to develop highly conductive functional materials which can effectively shield various electromagnetic effects (EMEs) and harmful radiations. Metallized nanotube polymer composites (MNPC) are composed of a lightweight polymer matrix, superstrong nanotubes (NT), and functional nanoparticle inclusions. MNPC is prepared by supercritical fluid infusion of various metal precursors (Au, Pt, Fe, and Ni salts), incorporated simultaneously or sequentially, into a solid NT-polymer composite followed by thermal reduction. The infused metal precursor tends to diffuse toward the nanotube surface preferentially as well as the surfaces of the NT-polymer matrix, and is reduced to form nanometer-scale metal particles or metal coatings. The conductivity of the MNPC increases with the metallization, which provides better shielding capabilities against various EMEs and radiations by reflecting and absorbing EM waves more efficiently. Furthermore, the supercritical fluid infusion process aids to improve the toughness of the composite films significantly regardless of the existence of metal.

Database and deep-learning scalability of anharmonic phonon properties by automated brute-force first-principles calculations

Understanding the anharmonic phonon properties of crystal compounds—such as phonon lifetimes and thermal conductivities—is essential for investigating and optimizing their thermal transport behaviors. These properties also impact optical, electronic, and magnetic characteristics through interactions between phonons and other quasiparticles and fields. In this study, we develop an automated first-principles workflow to calculate anharmonic phonon properties and build a comprehensive database encompassing more than 6500 inorganic compounds. Utilizing this dataset, we train a graph neural network model to predict thermal conductivity values and spectra from structural parameters, demonstrating a scaling law in which prediction accuracy improves with increasing training data size. High-throughput screening with the model enables the identification of materials exhibiting extreme thermal conductivities—both high and low. The resulting database offers valuable insights into the anharmonic behavior of phonons, thereby accelerating the design and development of advanced functional materials.

Underlying mechanism of structural transformation between GaSb and GaAs response to intense electronic excitation

Ion irradiation of semiconductors has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating self-organized nanosystems with high atomic precision, despite often being accompanied by undesirable phenomena. Exploring the mechanisms underlying structural transformations is crucial for assessing nanostructure array types under complex irradiation environments. By quantitatively calculating the thermodynamically driven processes and analyzing the impact of intrinsic structural parameters, distinct structural transformations in response to intense electronic excitation are systematically investigated in gallium antimonide (GaSb) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) systems. In high-energy regimes, the nanofibers layer of GaSb exhibits intriguing structural discrepancy, characterized by partial nanofibers with coherent boundaries, interspersed nanopores accompanied by antisite defects and Ga precipitates, distinguishing to a series of discontinuous latent tracks that emerged within cylindrical trajectories in GaAs. Furthermore, significant diffusion behaviors of the nanohillocks are discovered in GaAs, with higher average roughness than GaSb, driven by the gradient stress distribution influenced by the free-surface effects. The deposition energy for melting phase formation, Gibbs free energy, and Ga diffusion coefficients contribute to the distinctive structural features, evidencing relatively stable morphological configurations and higher irradiation resistance in GaAs. Consequently, special optoelectronic properties associated with structural discrepancies facilitate the design and optimization of material functionalities by irradiation technologies.

Dielectric particle injector for material processing

A device for use as an electrostatic particle or droplet injector is disclosed which is capable of injecting dielectric particles or droplets. The device operates by first charging the dielectric particles or droplets using ultraviolet light induced photoelectrons from a low work function material plate supporting the dielectric particles or droplets, and then ejecting the charged particles or droplets from the plate by utilizing an electrostatic force. The ejected particles or droplets are mostly negatively charged in the preferred embodiment; however, in an alternate embodiment, an ion source is used instead of ultraviolet light to eject positively charged dielectric particles or droplets.

Metal hydrides: a historical perspective

Metal hydrides are known for their outstanding performance as materials for hydrogen storage and processing. These materials find applications for short- and long-term energy storage, compression and supply of hydrogen gas, thermal energy storage, as electrodes and electrolytes in rechargeable batteries, for the microstructural optimisation of functional materials, in thin film technologies, as catalysts, getters and in many other uses. After the discovery of the first binary metal hydrides back in the 19th century, their studies covered all possible binary M-H systems and expanded rapidly into the field of ternary hydrides following the recognition of the excellent hydrogen storage performance of LaNi 5 - and TiFe-based materials, which operate efficiently at room temperature and at near-ambient H 2 pressures. This review aims to provide an overview of the early works, as well as selected recent results on various classes of metal hydrides. It also covers the recent activities from the major contributing countries and continents, including USA, Europe, Japan, China and Australia. These studies relate to achieving the hydrogen storage systems goals set by the Department of Energy in the United States which inspired the research activities at the national and international level, through execution of the tasks on hydrogen-based energy storage managed by the International Energy Agency. The review is prepared by international experts in the field and covers the most important past developments and also presents the recent achievements in the field.

Carbon doping in GeTe drives differences in local structure and properties

Advances in low-power, energy-efficient information storage and computing require understanding and controlling the atomic and nanoscale structures of functional materials, such as phase-change materials. Phase-change memory technology enables nonvolatile, low-power memory in devices by storing information through reversible changes in a phase-change material's atomic structure (i.e., transformations between amorphous and crystalline phases) that have corresponding changes in properties, including electronic resistivity and optical reflectivity. Here, we apply complementary X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray pair distribution function analyses to experimentally identify the local- and medium-range atomic structure differences of GeTe and C-doped GeTe thin films. Upon controlled heating, composition- and temperature-dependent atomic structure evolution in GeTe and C-doped GeTe films shows differences in bonding behavior and local structure that directly influence crystallization onset temperature. We find that the introduction of C interrupts Ge–Ge bonds in amorphous GeTe, altering the as-deposited structure to be more similar to the distorted rocksalt structure of crystalline α–GeTe. The change alters the response of the amorphous atomic structure to heating and also lowers the crystallization onset temperature, from 230 °C in GeTe to 220 °C in the C-doped film. The combined insights from both X-ray techniques provide understanding of structural transformations that enables the development and optimization of next-generation memory and computing materials.

Polyurethane Microparticles for Stimuli Response and Reduced Oxidative Degradation in Highly Porous Shape Memory Polymers

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been found to be promising biomaterials for a variety of medical applications; however, the clinical translation of such technology is dependent on tailorable properties such as gravimetric changes in degradation environments. For SMPs synthesized from amino-alcohols, oxidation resulting in rapid mass loss may be problematic in terms of loss of material functionality as well as toxicity and cytocompatibility concerns. Control of gravimetric changes was achieved through the incorporation of small molecule antioxidants, either directly into the polymer matrix or included in microparticles to form a SMP composite material. Direct incorporation of small molecule antioxidants, such as phenolic alcohols, was found to alter shape memory attributes and increase elastic modulus at the expense of the strain to failure. Such changes could not ensure retention of the antioxidants and therefore did not increase oxidative stability. However, the inclusion of antioxidants in microparticles was found to produce materials with similar thermomechanical and shape memory properties while increasing oxidative resistance compared to controls. The microparticle composite SMPs also act as a platform for environmental sensing, such as pH-dependent fluorescence shifts and payload release, as demonstrated by fluorescent dyes and the release of antioxidants. The use of polyurethane-urea microparticles in porous SMPs is demonstrated to increase biostability of the materials, by approximately 25%, and ultimately extend their lifespan for use in aneurysm occlusion as determined through calculated in vivo degradation rates corresponding to a porcine aneurysm environment.

Machine learning-enhanced design of lead-free halide perovskite materials using density functional theory

The investigation of emerging non-toxic perovskite materials has been undertaken to advance the fabrication of environmentally sustainable lead-free perovskite solar cells. This study introduces a machine learning methodology aimed at predicting innovative halide perovskite materials that hold promise for use in photovoltaic applications. The seven newly predicted materials are as follows: CsMnCl 4 , Rb 3 Mn 2 Cl 9 , Rb 4 MnCl 6 , Rb 3 MnCl 5 , RbMn 2 Cl 7 , RbMn 4 Cl 9 , and CsIn 2 Cl 7 . The predicted compounds are first screened using a machine learning approach, and their validity is subsequently verified through density functional theory calculations. CsMnCl 4 is notable among them, displaying a bandgap of 1.37 eV, falling within the Shockley-Queisser limit, making it suitable for photovoltaic applications. Here, through the integration of machine learning and density functional theory, this study presents a methodology that is more effective and thorough for the discovery and design of materials.

Direct Ab Initio Simulation of the Synthesis of BaZrO 3 and the Microstructure Impacts on Proton Transport

Controlling and predicting the processing-structure-performance relationship in functional materials is a grand challenge in materials science, with important implications for a wide range of emerging applications; a high fidelity understanding of the performance impact of microstructures formed under synthesis conditions is required to develop advanced materials, such as solid-state fuel cells and electrolyzers. Using the ceramic BaZrO 3 as a case study, we directly simulate the synthesis and investigate how proton transport is dictated by microstructures. We develop a framework that couples density functional theory (DFT), machine-learning interatomic potential (MLIP) driven molecular dynamics, and grand canonical Monte Carlo to perform large-scale, microstructure-resolved, atomistic simulations of proton transport in experimentally representative polycrystalline structures. Our fully ab initio approach, using a MLIP as a proxy for DFT, allows us to quantify the competition between two distinct diffusion mechanisms: one associated with grain-boundary regions and another within grains. When the impacts of grain boundaries are taken into account, proton transport exhibits substantial deviation from the bulk oxide limit. This addresses long-standing discrepancies between theory and experiments. Our integrated approach provides atomistic insight into microstructure-dependent proton pathways in BaZrO 3 and establishes a general protocol for predicting processing-structure-performance relationships.

Phase Diagrams and Piezoelectric Properties of Wurtzite Al1-x-yScxGdyN Heterostructural Alloys

Ternary nitride alloys based on wurtzite AlN are a promising platform to realize functional materials, particularly ferroelectrics and optical emitters, that can smoothly integrate with conventional microelectronics. Here, a strategic design is presented to enable multifunctional materials by substituting multiple elements into AlN to create quaternary nitride alloys. By combining computational predictions and combinatorial thin film synthesis, the phase diagram of these quaternary Al-Sc-Gd-N alloys (or pseudo-ternary heterostructural AlN-ScN-GdN alloys) is successfully predicted as a function of effective temperature, and we experimentally grow Al1-x-xScxGdyN thin films for the first time. It is revealed that Al1-x-xScxGdyN crystallizes in a wurtzite-derived structure for X + y <~ 0.35, consistent with the calculated phase diagram. The computational investigation explores whether co-substitution induces cooperative effects on these alloys' piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties, finding that it is beneficial for reducing the polarization switching barrier. We calculate that Al1-x-xScxGdyN thin films should display ferroelectric switching. This is supported by our experimental measurements of a high optical bandgap, enhanced piezoelectric coefficient, and a change in the calculated polarization switching mechanism, and we achieve preliminary ferroelectric switching that experimentally realizes the prediction. Overall, our work sets the foundation toward quaternary wurtzite-nitride-based multifunctional materials, including piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, and possibly even multiferroics.

Uncovering multiscale structure-property correlations via active learning in scanning tunneling microscopy

Atomic arrangements and local sub-structures fundamentally influence emergent material functionalities. These structures are conventionally probed using spatially resolved studies and the property correlations are deciphered by a researcher based on sequential explorations, thereby limiting the efficiency and scope. Here we demonstrate a multi-scale Bayesian deep-learning based framework that automatically correlates material structure with its electronic properties using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements in real-time. Its predictions are used to autonomously direct exploration toward regions of the sample that optimize a given material property. This method is deployed on a low-temperature ultra-high vacuum STM to understand the structure-property relationship in a europium-based semimetal, EuZn 2 As 2 , a promising candidate relevant to magnetism-driven topological phenomena. The framework employs a sparse-sampling approach to efficiently construct the scalar-property space using minimal measurements, about 1–10% of the data required in standard hyperspectral methods. Moreover, we formulate the problem hierarchically across length scales, implementing autonomous workflow to locate mesoscopic and atomic structures that correspond to a target material property. This framework offers the choice to design scalar-property from the spectroscopic data to steer sample exploration. Our findings reveal correlations of the electronic properties unique to surface terminations, local defect density, and point defects.

Multiplexing core & sheath extrusion system development for additive manufacturing for inner-bead multi-material capability

Single-feed polymer extruders are widely used in large-format additive manufacturing (AM) systems; however, the increasing demand for multi-material functionality within a single part has driven significant innovation in this field. One approach involves robotic pick-and-place operations, while another explores mechanical switching of feed lines during extrusion. Although robotic pick-and-drop systems offer flexibility, they introduce longer layer times during material changes, which can negatively affect the structural integrity of the part. On the other hand, mechanical feed switching causes delays in material transitions, as the existing material must be flushed before the new material emerges from the nozzle. This poses particular challenges for smaller or more intricate parts. In this study we are developing a unique multiplexing extrusion system with core & sheath nozzle that combines two extruders via co-extrusion. This allows for a unique inside and outside inner-bead (i.e., within the same bead) multi-material capability. We believe that this technology will allow for combining neat and filled materials, ductile and stronger materials, and many other combinations to address the problems aforementioned above and disrupt the AM technology creating new opportunities and opening application areas.

Electrochemical Random-Access Memory: Progress, Perspectives, and Opportunities

Non-von Neumann computing using neuromorphic systems based on analogue synaptic and neuronal elements has emerged as a potential solution to tackle the growing need for more efficient data processing, but progress toward practical systems has been stymied due to a lack of materials and devices with the appropriate attributes. Recently, solid state electrochemical ion-insertion, also known as electrochemical random access memory (ECRAM) has emerged as a promising approach to realize the needed device characteristics. ECRAM is a three terminal device that operates by tuning electronic conductance in functional materials through solid-state electrochemical redox reactions. This mechanism can be considered as a gate-controlled bulk modulation of dopants and/or phases in the channel. Early work demonstrating that ECRAM can achieve nearly ideal analogue synaptic characteristics has sparked tremendous interest in this approach. More recently, the realization that electrochemical ion insertion can be used to tune the electronic properties of many types of materials including transition metal oxides, layered two-dimensional materials, organic and coordination polymers, and that the changes in conductance can span orders of magnitude has further attracted interest in ECRAM as the basis for analogue synaptic elements for inference accelerators as well as for dynamical devices that can emulate a wide range of neuronal characteristics for implementation in analogue spiking neural networks. At its core, ECRAM shares many fundamental aspects with rechargeable batteries, where ion insertion materials are used extensively for their ability to reversibly store charge and energy. Computing applications, however, present drastically different requirements: systems will require many millions of devices, scaled down to tens of nanometers, all while achieving reliable electronic-state tuning at scaled-up rates and endurances, and with minimal energy dissipation and noise. Further, in this review, we discuss the history, basic concepts, recent progress, as well as the challenges and opportunities for different types of ECRAM, broadly grouped by their primary mobile ionic charge carrier, including Li, protons, and oxygen vacancies.

Copper and bismuth-based sorbent characterization in simulated iodine off-gas streams

The effective capture of volatile radioiodine, a fission product present in used nuclear fuel (UNF), is of paramount importance for development of used fuel reprocessing schemes to prevent release of radioiodine during unit operations and to meet regulatory standards for air emissions. A well-studied method for iodine capture in off-gas streams is the use of silver-functionalized zeolite phases (AgZ), which exploit chemisorption of I to Ag. Advances into other Ag-functionalized materials, including aerogels and metal organic frameworks (MOFs), are underway [1]. Additional metals with the capability to chemisorb iodine, including Cu, Bi, and Sn, [1] are being evaluated as alternatives to Ag for potential applicability to iodine management in off-gas systems. The design of novel functionalized sorbents with Cu and Bi, including composites with metal particles embedded in PAN substrates [2] and composites with metal sulfides embedded in PAN [3], is an ongoing area of study for improved iodine capture. Previously reported work on novel PAN-based metal sorbents has provided the synthesis, characterization, and iodine capture efficiency of this new class of sorbent. Specifically, the metal sulfide PAN composites are found to be easy to produce and reproduce, as well as having a high iodine loading potential under static conditions [3]. Due to the favorable testing previously performed with metal sulfide PAN composites, further testing into the performance of these composites under gas streams containing I2(g) in combination with NO2(g) and H2O(g) is needed. Humid streams of NO2(g) may arise from dissolver off-gas streams, when used fuel is dissolved in HNO3(aq) [4]. NO2(g) has been found to reduce AgZ sorption capacity for I because of oxidation of Ag, the chemisorbing agent, to Ag2O [5]. It follows that performance evaluation of novel sorbents under highly oxidizing conditions such as NO2(g) streams is critical. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the effect of flowing NO2(g) and H2O(g) streams on iodine sorption capacity and sorbent performance. This work utilizes custom-built gas handling capabilities for sorbent exposure along with solid-state characterization techniques to assess the physical and chemical properties of sorbents before and after exposure.

New Materials for Structural Composites and Protective Coatings

The objective of this Phase I project was to create novel conductive materials that are lightweight and strong enough for multiple ground support equipment and Exploration applications. The long-term goal is to combine these materials within specially designed devices to create composites or coatings with diagnostic capabilities, increased strength, and tunable properties such as transparency, electroluminescence, and fire resistance. One such technology application is a smart windows system. In such a system, the transmission of light through a window is controlled by electrical power. In the future, these materials may also be able to absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy to produce light, thereby creating a self-sufficient lighting system. This experiment, conducted in collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology, demonstrated enhancements in fabricating fiber materials from carbon nanotubes (CNT). These nanotubes were grown as forests in an ultra-high-purity chemical vapor deposition (CVD) furnace and then drawn, using novel processing techniques, into fibers and yarns that would be turned into filaments. This work was submitted to the Journal of Advanced Functional Materials. The CNT fibers were initially tested as filament materials at atmospheric pressure; however, even under high current loads, the filaments produced only random sparking. The CNT fibers were also converted into transparent, hydrophobic, and conductive sheets. Filament testing at low vacuum pressures is in progress, and the technology will be enhanced in 2008. As initial proof of the smart-windows application concept, the use of CNT sheets as composites/ protective coatings was demonstrated in collaboration with Nanocomp Technologies of Concord, New Hampshire.
