Hund’s flat band in a frustrated spinel oxide

Electronic flat bands associated with quenched kinetic energy and heavy electron mass have attracted great interest for promoting strong electronic correlations and emergent phenomena such as high-temperature charge fractionalization and superconductivity. Intense experimental and theoretical research has been devoted to establishing the rich nontrivial metallic and heavy fermion phases intertwined with such localized electronic states. Here, in this study, we investigate the transition metal oxide spinel LiV 2 O 4 , an enigmatic heavy fermion compound lacking localized f orbital states. We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and dynamical mean-field theory to reveal a kind of correlation-induced flat band with suppressed interatomic electron hopping arising from intra-atomic Hund’s coupling. The appearance of heavy quasiparticles is ascribed to a proximate orbital-selective Mott state characterized by fluctuating local moments as evidenced by complementary magnetotransport measurements. The spectroscopic fingerprints of long-lived quasiparticles and their disappearance with increasing temperature further support the emergence of a high-temperature “bad” metal state observed in transport data. This work resolves a long-standing puzzle on the origin of heavy fermion behavior and unconventional transport in LiV 2 O 4 . Simultaneously, it opens a path to achieving flat bands through electronic interactions in d-orbital systems with geometrical frustration, potentially enabling the realization of exotic phases of matter such as the fractionalized Fermi liquids.

Field test of continuous-variable quantum key distribution with a true local oscillator

A continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV QKD) using a true local (located at the receiver) oscillator (LO) has been proposed to remove any possibility of side-channel attacks associated with transmission of the LO as well as reduce the cross-pulse contamination. Here we report an implementation of true LO-CV QKD using “off-the-shelf” components and conduct QKD experiments using the fiber optical network at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A phase reference and quantum signal are time multiplexed and then wavelength division multiplexed with the classical communications that “coexist” with each other on a single optical network fiber. Importantly, this is the first demonstration of CV QKD with a receiver-based true LO over a deployed fiber network, a crucial step for its application in real-world situations.

Magnetoelastic resonance as a probe for exchange springs at antiferromagnet-ferromagnet interfaces

In prototype ferromagnet-antiferromagnet interfaces we demonstrate that surface acoustic waves can be used to identify complex magnetic phases arising upon evolution of exchange springs in an applied field. Applying sub-GHz surface acoustic waves to study the domain structure of the ferromagnetic layer in exchange-biased bilayers of Ir 20 Mn 80 -Co 60 Fe 20 B 20 , we are able to associate the magnetoelastic resonance with the presence of the exchange spin-spirals in both the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layer. Our findings offer a complementary, integrative insight into emergent magnetic materials for applications of noncollinear spin textures in view of low-energy-consumption spintronic devices.

HIBP Applications to Advance Understanding of Plasma Transport Physics (2011-2017) (and subsequently titled) Development of Beam Measurements to Advance Understanding of Transients and Improve Validation (2017-2020) (Final Technical Report)

This is the Final Technical Report for the DoE Measurement Innovation (previously Diagnostic Development) grant DE-SC0006077 titled HIBP Applications to Advance Understanding of Plasma Transport Physics (2011-2017), and subsequently titled Development of Beam Measurements to Advance Understanding of Transients and Improve Validation (2017-2020). The grant was funded by the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) for the period 1 May 2011–17 July 2020. Work performed through the grant has resulted in diagnostic innovations and new measurement capabilities that will improve understanding of transport, magnetic equilibrium, and electric fields in magnetically confined plasmas. We have developed novel hardware and advanced techniques to expand beam-based diagnostic capabilities, and extend measurements to new operating regimes. Some have been realized using a Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) having traditional features, while other applications have joined our innovations with subsets of advantageous HIBP features. This work has established smaller, more economical detection systems and, in doing so, may enable substantial extension of scenarios in which beam-based diagnostics are deployed. Key Measurement Innovations include: Computer Models and Simulations of HIBP Applications-Computer modeling and simulating of HIBP applications is central to predicting interaction of beam particles with plasmas, designing diagnostic systems, and anticipating measurement characteristics. We have extended the capability and improved measurement fidelity of the HIBP diagnostic on the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed field pinch (RFP); simulated feasibility of HIBP operation in the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) optimized stellarator; and investigated the plausibility of HIBP measurements in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. We have also developed a new technique that uses ion optics to model a finite phase-space beam. It yields more realistic (than traditional method) estimates of sample volume characteristics, which influence measurement resolution and sensitivity. Extension of Diagnostic Capabilities and Measurements on the MST RFP-Capabilities have been extended using the first and only HIBP installation on an RFP. Challenges associated with operation of the diagnostic on MST include the three-dimensional nature of particle trajectories, temporal topology and amplitude changes in the plasma equilibrium, and strong particle and radiative emission from the plasma. We have addressed these challenges through development of detailed and higher precision diagnostic simulations, calibrated subtraction of noise to resolve secondary ion signals, and implementation of hardware that enables higher fidelity measurement of plasma fluctuations. Development of New Hardware and Measurement Techniques - We have advanced beam-based measurement capabilities via development of new detectors and techniques to determine the poloidal magnetic flux ψ in the plasma, and enable placement of detectors close to the plasma and thus allow a smaller and less expensive diagnostic. We have demonstrated measurement of ψ, an ability that was made possible by development of highly effective noise reduction techniques. We also modeled the effect of non-ideal and instrumentation effects by developing a virtual (simulated) diagnostic. Application of beam-based diagnostics on various devices and multiple magnetic configurations (e.g. stellarator, tokamak, and reversed field pinch) enables investigation of critical physics issues and measurements resulting in the broad parameter space data needed to test and validate theory & modeling.

Electromagnetic Inhomogeneous-Energy-Density-Driven Instability in the UCLA Large Plasma Device (EM-IEDDI in LAPD) (Final Technical Report)

Using the Large Plasma Device (LAPD), the electromagnetic signatures associated with the inhomogeneous-energy-density-driven (IEDD) instability were targeted for documentation in a lab experiment. Exploitable features of LAPD are the extreme-length, high-beta, low-collisionality, and excellent reproducibility. The signatures of interest were mode amplitude, mode structure, frequency spectrum, phase velocity, and excitation threshold. The abrupt inhomogeneity at the interface between two coaxial plasma columns, that have disparate space potential values, were expected to generate a strong, localized, transverse, dc electric field and form a strong ExB-flow inhomogeneity that was expected to trigger broadband, intermediate-frequency waves that propagate many gyroradii beyond the interfacial source region. WVU was unable to destabilize the IEDDI mode in LAPD. Experimental limitation of three different parameters conspire to prevent IEDDI-favorable conditions even though Alfven-favorable conditions are met. Electron-neutral collision frequency is too high, Structuring of the radial profile of the radial electric field is negligible and the control of that structure is minimal, and the Magnetic field is too large for some purposes and too small for other purposes. WVU designed a new antenna and relied on externally-driving the IEDDI (instead of spontaneous destabilization). The antenna operation failed for unforeseen reasons and lack of electrician time and availability.

CO2 Storage Economic Analysis: CarbonSAFE Use Case

Poster on “CO2 Storage Economic Analysis: CarbonSAFE Use Case” for the CCUS 2025 conference held in Houston, Texas March 3-5, 2025. The cost of designing, permitting, constructing, operating, and closing a CO2 storage project is of vital importance to project developers. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has developed the NRAP/SMART Technoeconomic and Liability Evaluation for Storage (TALES) Model to provide quantitative cost-based insights to support developers planning CO2 injection and storage projects. This study presents a collaborative economic analysis applying TALES with data from the San Juan Basin CarbonSAFE Phase III project led by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to estimate potential costs incurred during the implementation of a real-world commercial-scale carbon storage project. Scenario analysis was implemented in which different operational and cost attributes were varied and the associated cost implications observed. Key results data and project cost summary metrics, first-year breakeven price of CO2 ($/tonne) and net present value (NPV), are presented for base and alternative cases. Output provides a unique perspective for project stakeholders towards evaluating the influence of different operational strategies and financing approaches on overall project cost and financial viability.

Segmented wall-less hall thruster

Disclosed is a miniaturized plasma propulsion device with minimized surface area of the thruster walls exposed to the plasma and, as a result, reduced plasma-surface interactions including a set of segmented electrodes to facilitate the following improvements compared to relevant existing technologies: 1) control of the plasma flow including focusing of the plasma plume 2) increase of the thrust 2) reduction of inefficiencies associated with the electron cross field current, and 3) mitigation of low frequency oscillations. The electrodes affect all these actions when a DC or modulated voltage is applied to one or all of them with the same or different amplitudes, with the same or different frequencies or phases which are all optimized to realize the best performance through changes in the acceleration and/or ionization regions. In addition, the applied voltage to the main electrodes may also be modulated.

Optimal Hairpin Winding Configuration for EV Traction Motors to Enhance Active CMV Cancellation Capability of NPL.X Inverter

Active common-mode voltage (CMV) cancellation in neutral-point-less (NPL.X) inverter is an effective approach for reducing common-mode electromagnetic interference and alleviating voltage stress associated with high-speed switching in EV traction drives. However, the existing hairpin winding configuration often exhibits impedance imbalance due to slot leakage inductance and manufacturing constraints, limiting the effectiveness of active CMV cancellation. This paper investigates symmetric hairpin winding configurations for a dual-three-phase EV traction machine to improve impedance symmetry. Considering the manufacturing constraints of six-layer hairpin windings, four feasible symmetric winding configurations are analyzed. Two-dimensional finite-element analysis is performed to extract the impedance parameters of each configuration. The extracted impedance parameters are used to quantify the impedance mismatch between complementary phase pairs and evaluate its influence on active CMV cancellation. The results show that the fully interleaved winding configuration achieves perfectly balanced phase impedances with 0 % mismatch, whereas the mismatch in the other configurations ranges from approximately 2.4 % to 0.8 %. Consequently, the resulting total CMV overshoot is significantly suppressed to near zero voltage under high-voltage and high switching frequency operating conditions, demonstrating the importance of winding symmetry for maximizing the active CMV cancellation capability of the NPL.X inverter.

Calculating n-point charge correlations in evolving systems

Background: In dynamic systems such as heavy-ion collisions, charge susceptibilities and local charge correlations change with time. These changes are accompanied by nonlocal correlations, which spread diffusively with time and are constrained by local charge conservation. Such correlations have been measured at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and have been linked to the chemical evolution of the matter and possible phase separation or critical phenomena. The evolution of such correlations has been modeled for two-point correlators superimposed onto hydrodynamics, but not for three- or four-point correlators. These higher-order correlators represent an essential basis for calculating the kurtosis and skewness of charge distributions measured at RHIC. For short-range correlations, such as those between charges on the same particle, and the associated charge-balance correlations a theoretical formalism was lacking for handling higher-order correlations. In particular, one needed to understand how higher-order charge fluctuations was split onto lower numbers of particles. For example, correlations of order three have contributions with charge all on one particle, split onto two particle, or split onto three. By assuming local chemical equilibrium of short-range correlations, the sources of the various correlators were found to be uniquely determined. The relevant theoretical foundation is presented here, including a diagrammatic technique to correctly account for all the possible terms to higher-order correlations. Here, we found a consistent theoretical treatment and its applicability, viability, and tractability are discussed. The formalism derived here enables realistic and quantitative modeling of the three- and four-point charge correlations necessary for understanding measurements of the kurtosis and skewness of charge distributions at RHIC. These observables have been promoted as signals of phase transitions or measures of chemical evolution.

Characteristics of upward-connecting-leader current leading to attachment in downward negative cloud-to-ground lightning strokes

For this work, we analyzed currents associated with upward connecting leaders (UCLs) initiated from the Kennedy Space Center Industrial Area Tower in two negative cloud-to-ground strokes that struck the tower. One stroke was also recorded using a high-speed video camera located 760 m from the KSC IAT. The NLDN-reported peak currents for the two strokes were – 31.7 and – 98.5 kA. During the UCL development phase the current waveforms exhibited a monotonically (quasi-exponentially) increasing “background” current overlaid with 10-μs scale pulses with a median amplitude of 51.1 A. The UCL current durations for the two strokes were 1039 and 449 μs, respectively. During the pre-attachment processes (UCL and slow front) the total negative charge effectively transferred to ground were 70.2 and 55 mC, respectively. For the stroke captured on high-speed video, the average line-charge-density for the 109-m long UCL was found to be 0.5 mC/m. The average UCL 2-D speed was 2.4 × 10 5 m/s, and it was observed to accelerate toward the downward leader prior to attachment. We observed that UCL-pulse amplitudes are larger, background currents are higher, and interpulse intervals are shorter at later times during UCLs, which can be attributed to the intensification of the local electric field due to the approaching downward negative leader. The median positive charge injected into the UCL by a pulse was 297 μC. The UCL associated with the higher peak-current stroke produced the highest injected pulse-charge values about three times sooner during its development, likely due to the 2–2.7 times faster average downward leader vertical speeds.

Microscopic Phase Diagram of Eu(Fe 1-x Ni x )As 2 ( x = 0,0.04) Under Pressure

This study will go to establish the microscopic P-T phase diagram of recent 112-type iron-pnictides Eu(Fe 1-x Ni x )As- 2 (x = 0,0.04), high-pressure synchrotron Mossbauer spectroscopy experiments in 151 Eu and 57 Fe have been performed. In EuFeAs 2 application of pressure completely suppresses the itinerant electron magnetism from the Fe sublattice and the local-moment magnetism in Eu ions at similar to ~10 and similar to ~11.6 GPa, respectively. High-pressure x-ray diffraction experiments in EuFeAs 2 reveal an anomalous change in the lattice parameters and a discontinuity in volume around 10 GPa, suggesting an isostructural transition at this pressure. With Ni-doping (x = 0.04), a collapse of local magnetic order occurs at similar to ~8GPa, a lower critical pressure compared with the parent compound. In both systems, the suppression of local-moment magnetism is associated with a significant increase of mean valence in Eu ions.

Bulk‐Boundary Correspondence of Semimetal Ru 3 Sn 7 and Topological Surface States on Chemically Realistic Terminations

Ru 3 Sn 7 is experimentally demonstrated as an efficient catalyst, with potential utilization of topological surface states for hydrogen evolution reaction. Despite its promising catalytic performance, the topological nature of Ru 3 Sn 7 remains uncertain. Particularly, the bulk-boundary correspondence has not yet been established, hence hindering a rigorous justification of its topologically-protected surface states. In this work, the bulk topology of Ru 3 Sn 7 is detailed using first-principles calculations and the topological quantum chemistry formalism. Ru3Sn7 turns out to be an enforced semimetal possessing symmetry-protected crossings within a set of bands near the Fermi level, which are enforced and prescribed by the violations of symmetry-prescribed compatibility relations. Moreover, the surface states and the associated origin from the same set of entangled bands are identified, thereby establishing the bulk-boundary correspondence. To evaluate the effects of chemical modifications, the response of topological surface states to various surface terminations, stoichiometry, and oxidation is examined. The surface structures are globally optimized, and the phase diagrams for various experimental conditions are built. It is shown that, due to changes in the local chemical environment, the original surface states are significantly altered. Modified surface bands can be observed near the Fermi level on surface terminations that preserve the C 4v symmetry.

Advanced Characterization Techniques for Overcoming Challenges of Perovskite Solar Cell Materials

Abstract In the last 10 years, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have achieved unprecedented advances, to the point where they now exhibit extremely high efficiency. However, long‐term stability and areal scalability limitations impede the commercial application of perovskite materials, and appropriate diagnosistic tools have become necessary to evaluate perovskite materials. Characterization of perovskite materials is regularly misinterpretated, due to unique intrinsic and extrinsic factors: degradation from the measurement source, ion migration, phase transition, and separation. Herein, studies on perovskites are reviewed that have used advanced characterization tools to overcome characterization challenges. Cryogenic temperature assisted measurements mitigate degradation or phase transitions induced by the measurement source. In situ measurements can track the variation of perovskite materials depending on external stimuli. Spatial material properties are able to be evaluated by the use of multidimensional mapping techniques. An overview of these advanced characterization tools that can overcome the challenges associated with established tools provides the opportunity for further understanding perovskite materials and solving the remaining challenges on the road to commercialization.

Developing aqueous solubilizing agents as an alternative to solvent extraction

Here, advancing separations science is important for the entire field of chemistry. One partitioning technique that would benefit from improvement is solvent extraction. Despite its effective and widespread use, the method suffers from some problems: generation of flammable organic waste, lengthy process times, and safety concerns associated with contacting organic solvents with acidic aqueous solutions. We developed an alternative separation method inspired by solvent extraction that side-steps those issues. Toward this end, we identified that the functionality of an extractant (an agent used in solvent extraction to pull analytes from the aqueous phase into the organic phase) would change if it was modified for water solubility. In this alternative scenario, the extractant transforms into an “aqueous solubilizing agent.” We discovered that adding this aqueous solubilizing agent alongside a precipitating agent caused the contaminants to precipitate, but not the analyte. This separation concept was demonstrated within the bounds of one of the most difficult partitioning problems, separating minor actinides (Am 3+ ) from lanthanides (Ln 3+ ). We discovered that the (HSO 3 Ph) 4 BTP (aq) aqueous solubilizing agent prevented Am 3+ (aq) from precipitating with Ln 3+ (aq) when f-element precipitating agents (NaF (aq) or HF (aq) ) were added. This separation boasts impressive Am 3+ (aq) recovery yield (90 ± 2 %), near quantitative Ln 3+ (aq) removal, and high separation factors [>3000, Am 3+ (aq) vs. Nd 3+ (aq) ]. It seems likely – given the large number of candidate extractants that could be modified for aqueous solubility and the numerous combinations of existing solubilizing and precipitating agents – that this alternative approach could be used broadly in place of solvent extraction and solve other important separation problems.

Operando neutron diffraction reveals mechanisms for controlled strain evolution in 3D printing

Abstract Residual stresses affect the performance and reliability of most manufactured goods and are prevalent in casting, welding, and additive manufacturing (AM, 3D printing). Residual stresses are associated with plastic strain gradients accrued due to transient thermal stress. Complex thermal conditions in AM produce similarly complex residual stress patterns. However, measuring real-time effects of processing on stress evolution is not possible with conventional techniques. Here we use operando neutron diffraction to characterize transient phase transformations and lattice strain evolution during AM of a low-temperature transformation steel. Combining diffraction, infrared and simulation data reveals that elastic and plastic strain distributions are controlled by motion of the face-centered cubic and body-centered cubic phase boundary. Our results provide a new pathway to design residual stress states and property distributions within additively manufactured components. These findings will enable control of residual stress distributions for advantages such as improved fatigue life or resistance to stress-corrosion cracking.

Evidence for charge delocalization crossover in the quantum critical superconductor CeRhIn5

Abstract The nature of charge degrees-of-freedom distinguishes scenarios for interpreting the character of a second order magnetic transition at zero temperature, that is, a magnetic quantum critical point (QCP). Heavy-fermion systems are prototypes of this paradigm, and in those, the relevant question is where, relative to a magnetic QCP, does the Kondo effect delocalize their f -electron degrees-of-freedom. Herein, we use pressure-dependent Hall measurements to identify a finite-temperature scale E loc that signals a crossover from f -localized to f -delocalized character. As a function of pressure, E loc ( P ) extrapolates smoothly to zero temperature at the antiferromagnetic QCP of CeRhIn 5 where its Fermi surface reconstructs, hallmarks of Kondo-breakdown criticality that generates critical magnetic and charge fluctuations. In 4.4% Sn-doped CeRhIn 5 , however, E loc ( P ) extrapolates into its magnetically ordered phase and is decoupled from the pressure-induced magnetic QCP, which implies a spin-density-wave (SDW) type of criticality that produces only critical fluctuations of the SDW order parameter. Our results demonstrate the importance of experimentally determining E loc to characterize quantum criticality and the associated consequences for understanding the pairing mechanism of superconductivity that reaches a maximum T c in both materials at their respective magnetic QCP.

Additive Manufacturing of Cryogenic Austenitic Steel JK2LB via Wire-Fed Directed Energy Deposition (DED) for Fusion Energy Applications

This study explores the feasibility of fabricating cryogenic austenitic steel JK2LB via both laser-based directed energy deposition (laser-DED) and arc-based directed energy deposition (arc-DED) additive manufacturing processes for potential application in fusion reactors. JK2LB, a low-nickel, high-manganese stainless steel developed for ITER, offers excellent cryogenic toughness, radiation resistance, and decay-to-clearance characteristics. Although JK2LB was originally designed to endure cyclic stresses at cryogenic temperatures in tokamaks, its low-temperature mechanical integrity and radiation tolerance also make it a promising candidate for structural components, such as the coil case/support structure in nonplanar high-temperature superconducting magnet assemblies in stellarators. Directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing was selected for this study due to its capability to fabricate large structures with complex geometries. Here, to address the long lead time and high cost associated with acquiring conventional JK2LB solid wire, JK2LB powder-cored wire was developed as the feedstock material. Testing blocks were then fabricated using both wire-fed laser-DED and arc-DED processes. Microstructural and compositional analyses revealed that both DED approaches yield fully austenitic phase and columnar grain structures. Mechanical testing at room temperature revealed that both DED routes achieved yield strength and elongation comparable to those of conventionally processed JK2LB via vacuum melting, electroslag remelting, extrusion, and drawing, though ultimate tensile strength was reduced due to Mn loss and large columnar grains. As a study mainly focusing on the additive manufacturing process, this work demonstrates the potential of additive manufacturing for fusion energy applications and provides a basis for optimization and future cryogenic mechanical evaluation.

Technological developments and accelerator improvements for the FRIB beam power ramp-up

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) began operation with 1 kW beam power for scientific users in May 2022 upon completion of 8 years of project construction. The ramp-up to the ultimate beam power of 400 kW, planned over a 6-year period, will enable the facility to reach its full potential for scientific discovery in isotope science and applications. In December 2023, a record-high beam power of 10.4 kW uranium was delivered to the target. Technological developments and accelerator improvements are being made over the entire facility and are key to completion of the power ramp-up. Major technological developments entail the phased deployment of high-power beam-intercepting systems, including the charge strippers, the charge selection systems, the production target, and the beam dump, along with support systems, including non-conventional utilities (NCU) and remote handling facilities. Major accelerator improvements include renovations to aging legacy systems associated with experimental beam lines and system automation for improved operational efficiency and better machine availability. Experience must be gained to safely handle the increased radiological impacts associated with high beam power; extensive machine studies and advanced beam tuning procedures are needed to minimize uncontrolled beam losses for the desired operating conditions. This paper discusses the technological developments and accelerator improvements with emphasis on major R&D efforts.
