Net Metering Expansion on the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska Reservation (Final Technical Report)
The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, through their affiliated economic development entity Ho-Chunk, Inc; their affiliated non-profit Ho-Chunk Community Development Corporation; and an additional project partner Nebraska Renewable Energy Systems conducted a community scale renewable energy project on their reservation in Nebraska. Over the two-year project period, we installed PV Solar systems on ten tribally owned commercial/retail/office facilities, which included both six roof mounted and four pole mount installations. The project was undertaken as a part of the Tribe’s broader initiative to increase renewable energy production on the reservation, reduce the Tribe’s financial obligations for purchasing energy, and lessen our reliance upon outside sources of energy to meet our basic needs. The project enabled us to formalize and strengthen community collaborations and build our capacity to pursue additional renewable energy opportunities that will enhance our energy sovereignty.

Technical report: Design of the accessor
As we have seen the arithmetic power of hardware architectures growing much faster than the memory bandwidth, there is an urgent need to rethink the way we operate, communicate, and store data. A promising strategy for overcoming the “memory wall” is the decoupling of memory precision from arithmetic precision as proposed in Anzt et al. Such a decoupling of memory precision and arithmetic precision requires an “accessor” that handles the conversion between formats (resp. compression of the data) on the fly in registers. Such an accessor has to be general in the sense that it can handle a wide range of floating point formats and compression strategies, and still allows for further extension. At the same time, is important that the use of the accessor is not a burden for the developer. Therefore, it is important to abstract all implementation details from the user, hide the underlying storage format from the user, and make the accessor cross-platform portable. In this document we present the design of an accessor that aims at fulfilling all these requirements.

Center for direct catalytic conversion of biomass to biofuels (Final Technical Report)
Lignocellulosic biomass has only one-third the energy density of crude oil and lacks petroleum’s versatility as a feedstock for fuels and chemicals. Since 2009, the Center for direct Catalytic Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels (C3Bio) has recognized the potential of chemical catalysis and fast-pyrolysis to overcome such limitations by transforming the main components of biomass (cellulose, xylan, and lignin) from grasses and trees directly to liquid hydrocarbons and aromatic co-products. In 2014, C3Bio proposed to develop critical systems-level understanding of how biomass structural complexity at molecular, nanoscale, and mesoscale levels impacts the yields and selectivities of desired products from catalytic and pyrolytic transformations. Our long-term goal was to gain unprecedented control of effective routing of carbon: we aimed to specify both the structures within, and the reaction products from, lignocellulosic biomass. Enabled by the EFRC high-risk, high-reward approach to grand challenge science, our interdisciplinary team of plant biologists, chemists, and chemical engineers disrupted the conventional paradigm of the cellulosic biorefinery into a new future of “no carbon left behind” - the full utilization of carbon from plant cell walls in energy-dense fuels.

Refinery Products Volatile Organic Compounds Emissions Estimator (RP-VOC): User Manual and Technical Documentation
The estimation of well-to-distributor volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions resulting from the extraction of crude oil in an oilfield, transportation to a crude oil terminal upstream of the refinery, operation of the refinery, and subsequent pipeline and product distribution has previously been approached as a top-down industry-wide average; RP-VOC performs its core calculations using a “from-the-ground-up” approach. By taking this approach, the tool results can be used for the supply network of a single refinery, or to generalize the average performance of all refineries.

The Wonders of Physics -- Public Outreach (Final Technical Report)
The mission of The Wonders of Physics (TWoP) outreach program is to generate interest in physics among people of all ages and backgrounds. The objective is to generate interest in physics, increase appreciation for the significance of physics in our lives, and encourage children to consider careers in science and plasma physics. The primary means for achieving that objective is to make entertaining presentations to audiences that would not normally be motivated to attend a lecture on physics or plasmas, while at the same time introducing some of the fundamental concepts and applications. During this reporting period, the students Michael Hall, Megan Tabbutt and Connor Sullivan, Director of Communications Sarah Perdue, Director of Undergraduate Program Jim Reardon, and Senior Information Processing Consultant Paul Wilhite worked to make outreach programs a success and prepare for the future of The Wonders of Physics, which will continue. Because of the curtailment of public events due to Covid-19, there will not be an in person Annual Show or Physics Fair in 2021, but a video competition has already been announced and planning continues for The Wonders of Physics in 2022 and beyond. The annual shows and Physics Fair are scheduled for February 12-13 and February 19-20, 2022. These continue to be our premier outreach events, engaging diverse audiences in real hands-on science. Further shows and exploration stations are planned.

Nanoporous weakly coordinating anionic frameworks (Final Technical Report)
Under this award, we synthesized and characterized new weakly coordinating, anionic covalent organic frameworks. The motivation was to expand the class of covalent organic frameworks though the introduction of the first weakly coordinating anionic ones. The significance of the weakly coordinating anionic character of these frameworks is associated with the character of the counter (metal) cations in their pores. Those counter-cations, due to the inability to effectively coordinate to the pore walls, have a “naked”, and thus highly electrophilic, Lewis acidic character. Such properties are expected to translate to a number of interesting physical properties that can be potentially used for a range of energy-relevant applications. One of these applications is gas adsorption, separation, and storage. The electrophilic, Lewis acidic character of the counter-cations are expected to strongly bind to gas molecules entering the pores leading to higher gas sorption capacities. Other applications include heterogeneous catalysis, ion exchange, and solid state ion conduction. Within the project we explored a range of chemical blocks, and tested synthesis conditions to polymerize these building blocks to form the target materials. In particular, we focused on materials with group 15 elements like phosphorus in the oxidation state +5 and the coordination number 6, that have a formal -1 charge. The synthesis of such materials is challenging because its success depends on the absence of residual monomeric and oligomeric side-products in the pores, and the absence of significant framework interpenetration. Crystalline forms of these materials require sufficient reversibility of the polymerization reaction (which is difficult to achieve because group 15 elements like P tend to make strong covalent bonds with neighbored elements), as well as suitable polymerization rates that prevent the formation of kinetically controlled products. We had success with the preparation of anionic porous organic frameworks with anionic building blocks containing P(V)O6 octahedra synthesized through Yamamoto coupling reactions. These materials are non-crystalline because of the irreversible nature of the Yamamoto coupling reaction, but show porosity. The porosity and surface area can be significantly increased by co-reaction with electrostatically neutral co-reactants. Very high porosity and surface areas can be achieved when the materials are washed with hydrochloric acid. This method is commonly used to free products from Yamamoto coupling reactions from by-products. Indeed, this method removed by products from the pores of our materials, however it also led to the hydrolysis of the PO6 octahedra to form pending phosphonic acid groups (-PO3H)-groups in the frameworks (PA-POFs) which was actually not desired. Nonetheless, these materials showed high CO2 sorption capacities. In addition, they show extremely high (actually record) sorption capacities for the removal of a range of common micropollutants such as bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-nitrophenol in water. BPA is a wide-spread organic pollutant and a known endocrine disruptor. The maximum adsorption capacity of BPA at equilibrium is found to be as high as 3,366 mg g-1 by Langmuir adsorption model, which is more than 10 times greater than peer materials. The polymer also rapidly removes various other organic micropollutants with more than 90% removal efficiencies. In addition, the PA-POF material can be regenerated at least five times by mild washing using methanol without significant loss in removal efficiency. This is significant advantage over commonly used activated carbon materials (that are in Brita water faucet filters, for example). Comparison studies showed that only materials with the phosphonate groups show extreme sorption although the number of PA group is actually small according to solid state NMR and EDX data. More research would be needed to investigate why this is (a possibility is that the phosphonate groups have a multiplying effect in which a PA-induced initial adsorption leads to the adsorption of much more adsorbate). The extreme sorption capabilities can also be visually seen when colored adsorbates such as 4-nitrophenol are used, as the adsorption of the nitrobenzene leads to the decoloration of the solution. We have produced three short videos that illustrate the sorption capabilities compared to two peer materials (activated carbon from dismantled Brita water filters, and a electrostatically neutral, chemically related, porous organic polymer, respectively).

Strengthening Technical Safeguards of Fresh Fuel Through International Cooperation
Over time, nuclear fuel designs have shifted towards having higher initial enrichments and a greater number of burnable poison rods. This enables increased burnup for commercial reasons. These changes have made safeguards measurements of the 235 U content in modern fresh fuel more challenging.This is addressed here through a re-evaluation of the UNCL (Uranium Neutron Collar–Light Water Reactor Fuel)poison rod correction factor. Coefficients of the poison rod correction factor were updated by simulating response of AngraII PWR fuel with a wide range of both burnable poison rods and Gd 2 O 3 contentper rod. Benchmark comparisons are made to experiments performed at Resende (Brazil) and CNEN/LASAL in Brazil. By updating these coefficients, while maintaining the same mathematical form to allow INCC to be used without software modification,it was possible to reduce error in experimental 235 U linear density assay by an order of magnitude.

Emergent Collective Phenomena in Artificial Spin Ice (Final Technical Report)
This program encompassed studies of lithographically fabricated “artificial spin ice” arrays of nanometer-scale single-domain ferromagnetic islands in which the array geometry results in frustration of the magnetostatic interactions between the islands. Artificial spin ice offers a wide range of opportunities for studying the mechanism by which nature accommodates frustration and accesses physics associated with frustration in ferromagnetic nanostructures. Since the arrays are created lithographically, we can easily vary the array characteristics, including the geometry of the lattice and the level and type of lattice disorder. We can probe both the local properties of the arrays by imaging individual moments, and we can also probe thousands of moments simultaneously, allowing us to gain insight into the collective properties of the system. The research funded by this program included studies of unusual frustrated lattices, studies of magnetotransport in these systems, studies of perpendicular anisotropy moments, and a range of other related experimental measurements.

Argonne National Laboratory is assigned responsibility by DOE/EM-4 to conduct a peer review of the proposed Authorized Limits (ALs) for disposal of waste containing residual radioactive material at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Landfill IV, Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The ALs document package (Document Number OREM-19-2573, dated May 2020) was sent to Argonne by DOE on June 1, 2020 (Oak Ridge 2020a). Argonne started the review immediately and held several BlueJeans meetings with Oak Ridge and DOE to discuss review comments. The first BlueJeans meeting was June 17, 2020. Oak Ridge presented a briefing of the AL package, followed by discussion of the assumptions, methodology, and parameters used in the analysis. A follow-up BlueJeans meeting was held on June 24, 2020, at which Argonne presented both general and specific review comments in PowerPoint slides. This set of slides - Review Comments on the “Authorized Limits for Disposal of Waste Containing Residual Radioactive Material at DOE Industrial Landfill IV, Y-12 National Security Complex, Oak Ridge, Tennessee” - was then emailed to Oak Ridge and DOE after the BlueJeans meeting on June 24, 2020. A PDF version of this slide set is included as Appendix A.

Where Have All of the Electrons Gone? Understanding the Role of Alternative Electron Flow and O 2 Reduction in Balancing Cellular Redox (Final Technical Report)
An informed understanding of the fundamentals of light-driven electron transfer reactions in photoautotrophic organisms is necessary to enable improved photosynthetic efficiencies for the production of renewable fuels and novel biomaterials. To obtain high photosynthetic yields, light energy must be efficiently coupled to the fixation of CO 2 . Sub-optimal environmental conditions and metabolic routing (caused by blocks in biosynthetic routes) can severely impact the conversion of light energy to biomass and lead to reactive oxygen production, which in turn can cause cellular damage and productivity losses. Hence, plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria have evolved a network of alternative outlets to sustain the flow of photosynthetically derived-electrons. Our research was focused on the nature and integration of these outlets. The data obtained in this project will inform efforts to rationally engineer crop plants and algae to improve photosynthetic yields by enhancing electron transfer reactions to CO 2 reduction and targeted biomass accumulation. A major project research thrust was focused on identifying and quantifying the flow of photosynthetic reductant through electron transfer circuits that result in the light-dependent reduction of O 2 . New energy management strategies were identified that are used when normal carbon assimilation pathways are compromised due to nutrient deprivation, and/or by a reduction in starch synthesis/carbon storage, all conditions resulting in highly reduced intracellular redox pools. The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and likely many other algae, have multiple O 2 -reducing pathways that play critical roles in maintaining cellular metabolic balance and scavenging electrons that could potentially cause cellular damage, which in some instances leads to reduced photosynthetic yields but increased fitness. We explored the activities of three essential outlets associated with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii photosynthetic electron transport: (1) reduction of O 2 to H 2 O through Flavodiiron proteins (FLVs) and (2) Plastid Terminal Oxidases (PTOX), and (3) the synthesis of starch. Real-time measurements of O 2 exchange demonstrated that FLVs immediately engage during dark to light transitions, allowing electron transport when the CBBC is not fully activated. Under these conditions, we quantified, for the first time, maximal FLV activity and its overall capacity to direct photosynthetic electrons towards O 2 reduction. However, when starch synthesis is compromised, a greater proportion of electrons is directed toward O 2 reduction through the FLVs, while PTOX, which is sensitive to the PQ pool redox state, is activated. This suggests, that starch synthesis has an important role in priming/regulating CBBC and electron transport. We also identified a biological ‘switch’ in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that reversibly restricts photosynthetic electron transport (PET) at the cytochrome b 6 f complex when reductant and ATP generated by PET are in excess of the capacity of carbon metabolism to utilize these products; we specifically show a restriction at this switch when sta6 mutant cells, which cannot synthesize starch, are limited for nitrogen (growth inhibition) and subjected to a dark to light transition. This restriction causes diminished electron flow to PSI, which prevents PSI photodamage, and the plastid alternative oxidase (PTOX) becomes fully activated, serving as an electron valve that dissipates excitation energy absorbed by PSII, thereby lessening PSII photoinhibition. Furthermore, illumination of the cells following the dark acclimation gradually diminishes the restriction at the switch. Future engineering of these switches may allow more effective electron transfer to lipid (biofuel) pathways and diminish the number of electrons “wasted” in the reduction of O 2 to water. Lastly, we explored metabolic routing of electrons during algal fermentation and discovered multiple novel pathways that are activated when the preferred anoxic routes are blocked. These provide valuable products (e.g. lactate, glycerol) that can be used in broad portfolio of biotechnological applications.

Spin-Coherent Transport under Strong Spin-Orbit Interaction (Final Technical Report)
The major goals of the project consisted of acquiring insight in spin-dependent quantum coherent electronic transport phenomena arising from spin-orbit interaction, via experiments on semiconductor heterostructures and thin film semimetals patterned into mesoscopic and nanoscale geometries. The solid-state physics findings contain insight potentially useful for the creation of new quantum states of matter, for spin operations in quantum information processing, for future spin electronics, and for other future functionalities of power-saving electronic devices. The subject was of fundamental interest, but was also of long-term applied interest for quantum devices, spintronics devices, and general electronic devices. The experiments were conducted by low-temperature electronic magnetotransport in nanoscale structures of length scales similar to the quantum phase- and spin-coherence lengths and the carrier mean-free paths in the materials. Emphasis was placed on quantum coherence and spin coherence, to understand coherent spin-dependent electronic processes, on transport of electrons with very long mean-free path (ballistic transport), on the transfer of electron spin to nuclear spin (dynamic nuclear spin polarization in bismuth), and on the study of materials with quantum states emerging from spin-orbit interaction and electron-electron interaction (bismuth iridates). In two-dimensional electron systems in quantum wells of the narrow-bandgap semiconductors InAs and InGaAs the objectives included the characterization of quantum states arising from the Aharonov-Casher quantum-mechanical phase as an electromagnetic dual of the Aharonov-Bohm phase. Objectives also included quantum electronic transport at the mesoscopic scale on the semimetal bismuth in thin film form, and particularly on its strongly spin-orbit coupled surface states. An almost-strain-free method was developed to grow high-quality bismuth thin films. Devices fabricated on these films were then used to study a novel nuclear spin torque, whereby the bismuth carrier spin was transferred to the bismuth nuclei by the agency of both spin-orbit interaction and hyperfine interaction. Aspects of ballistic transport were studied in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures of very high mobility, and a hitherto unsuspected similarity was discovered between ballistic transport and hydrodynamic transport, of potential use in future power-saving electronic devices.

A Technical basis for in-house calibration of 252 Cf neutron source emission rates
10CFR835 stipulates that radiation protection instruments must be calibrated at least annually. Accordingly, calibration of dose rate instruments are reliant on well-known reference fields. The neutron-free-in-air facility (NFIA) located at TA36-0214 provides such a capability for neutron remmeters. One of the reference NFIA sources, 252 Cf, must be replaced every 8-10 years due to its relatively short half-life (2.645 ± 0.008 y). In the past, each newly purchased 252 Cf source has been calibrated at NIST using the Mn-bath technique prior to shipping to LANL. However, because of COVID-19 complications, the most recently acquired 252 Cf source (FTC-CF-7167) has been stored at LANL pending approval to ship to NIST for calibration. Due to the considerable expense in transporting the source to and from NIST, this TBD was written to demonstrate that new sources can be accurately calibrated via intercomparison measurements with older NIST-calibrated 252 Cf sources. It had been previously noted that such measurements yielded emission rates that agreed very well with the official rates established by NIST

Materials Development and Advanced Process Simulation for Additive Manufacturing with Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics (Final Technical Report)
DuPont, Local Motors, and the Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center (CMSC) at Purdue worked together to advance process simulation capabilities for Additive Manufacturing (AM) and develop printable short fiber reinforced semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics suitable for vehicle components. DuPont provided one candidate thermoplastic material, which was evaluated against the following three criteria: 1) Printability using extrusion additive manufacturing processes. 2) Suitability for vehicle applications based on mechanical coupon screening tests. 3) Predictive capability of process simulations. Indiana Manufacturing Institute provided modeling and simulation technology and access to Purdue’s lab scale AM printer. Local Motors provided mechanical property requirements and printed demonstration prototype components using their Thermwood Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) printer. To meet the performance and cost requirements of the automotive industry, high fiber content semi-crystalline engineering materials are required. Printing experience and property data for a 50% by weight short glass fiber reinforced material were gathered. Further, material properties required for simulating the printing process with the glass-fiber reinforced material were characterized. Knowledge was acquired with regards to the processability and performance of this thermoplastic material. Predictions of part deformation and crystallinity level were verified against experimental observations. Any significant results other than verification of simulation, e.g., novel material identified here would be impactful.

Boride-Carbon Hybrid Technology to Produce Ultra-Wear and Corrosion Resistant Surfaces for Applications in Harsh Conditions (Final Technical Report)
Engineered functional surfaces play an important role to enable new products and manufacturing processes that can endure harsh service conditions such as high impact and contact loads, highly abrasive wear, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments. Engineered surfaces can also be instrumental to improving the efficient use of energy by reducing frictional losses and extending service life. The main objective of this project was to develop a hybrid surface engineering technology that combines the advantages of a novel ultrafast boriding process with the next generation of superhard carbon coatings. The hypothesis was that this hybrid process will offer an unprecedented combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low frictional losses and affordability for treated parts so that it can be utilized in many applications. During this project, a duplex process was developed that combines the advantages of ultra-fast electrochemical boriding with those of hard tetrahedral amorphous carbon coatings. Both technologies can be combined to form a hybrid technology that is characterized by low friction and wear properties combined with corrosion and fatigue resistance. Good adhesion of both layers to each other was one main goal of this project, that has been achieved with HF1 adhesion through the Rockwell-C adhesion test. In this project, the mechanical properties of the hybrid coating were modeled through a finite-element analysis approach. We can conclude that the FEA model resembles the actual samples and be utilized to predict mechanical behavior under impacts. Based on this model, application-oriented load conditions can be simulated for optimal layer design regarding thickness and mechanical properties. To exemplify, one conclusion that can be drawn from the nanoindentation model is a boride layer thickness of 50 µm is sufficient to effectively support the carbon coating on the identified AISI 1045 low carbon steel substrate material. The duplex treatment yields wear rates as low as 6 x 10 -8 mm 3 N -1 m -1 and a coefficient of friction of 0.14 when tested against a steel counter face in a ball-on-disk test setup. On the other hand, the wear rate of the only-borided AISI 1045 steel was 5 x 10 -5 mm 3 N -1 m -1 , about three orders of magnitude higher than the duplex coating. At the same time, duplex treated samples experience corrosion resistance, which could not be achieved with single-layer carbon coatings. The developed surface treatment withstands a 3-hour exposure to 15% HCl, while the only carbon coated counter sample shows severe delamination of the coating due to pin hole corrosion. The boride layer is chemically stable and pin hole free because it is formed through an electrochemical process under high current densities (700 mA/cm 2 ) and high temperature. Additionally, the hybrid coating led to at least 3x increase in fatigue strength of the steel substrate, which exceeds the target performance of 30% improvement. There are numerous potential applications for the duplex coatings. A representative application is bearing ball coatings for off-shore windmills. Compared to currently employed surface technologies in this field, the initial costs of applying our technology might be higher due to more process steps but the performance benefits lead to an increased life time of treated parts, which will lower the maintenance and replacement costs in the long-term. To validate the technology for this specific application, the team is currently investigating the process of white etching crack initiation of the duplex coating in collaboration with ANL. Overall, this project successfully validated that the boride-carbon hybrid technology can withstand harsh conditions. One possible approach to commercialization under consideration is to transfer the technology to a startup or an existing coatings company.

VC3: Virtual Clusters for Community Computation (Final Technical Report)
A traditional HPC computing facility provides a large amount of computing power but has a fixed environment designed to satisfy local needs. This makes it very challenging for users to deploy complex applications that span multiple sites and require specific application software, scheduling middleware, or sharing policies. This project addressed many of these challenges by making it possible for researchers to easily aggregate and share resources, install custom software environments, and deploy clustering frameworks across multiple HPC facilities through the concept of “virtual clusters”. We designed and implemented a prototype virtual cluster facility that enabled unprivileged users to create dynamic aggregations of computing power across multiple sites, deployed with custom middleware and complex software dependencies.
