On the contribution of Pair Distribution Function (PDF) to the characterization of nanocrystalline MOFs: The case of M-MOF-74

Nanoporous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have a great potential in so many industrial applications including heterogeneous catalysis and gas storage/capture/separation. MOF-74 is one of the most interesting MOFs in an academic context, as it contains open metal sites, possesses high versatility in metal nature, and can be prepared with so small crystal size. As a consequence, the catalytic activity of these nanocrystalline materials is superior to that given by their conventional counterparts. However, their characterization by conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD) is insufficient. Here, we present a joint study of XRD and Pair Distribution Function (PDF) -both acquired under synchrotron radiation- of a series of nanocrystalline M-MOF-74 materials (M = Mg, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn) prepared at room temperature. Whereas the XRD continues being lacking for an adequate structural characterization, PDF provides key structural information at medium and short range and, therefore, is ideal for studying such nano-domains. It was confirmed that these materials are exclusively composed by MOF-74 phase and that their poor ability to diffract is due solely to their eminent nanocrystallinity, which resulted to be even more pronounced than it has been previously estimated. Beyond Scherrer-like approaches, PDF can give direct information about the range of crystal size in nanocrystalline materials. Moreover, the technique is also able to detect slight structural deviations in short-range environments, just like it is made clear in the case of Cu-MOF-74 compared with the rest of M-MOF-74 materials, which possesses a marked Jahn-Teller effect in the octahedral coordination of Cu.

Characterization of nonlinear ultrasonic waves behavior while interacting with poor interlayer bonds in large-scale additive manufactured materials

Over the past decades, researchers have developed several nonlinear ultrasonic techniques for quality control of materials commonly used in different applications. Owing to the superior sensitivity of nonlinear ultrasound waves to small defects such as micro-cracks, their applicability in different nondestructive testing (NDT) problems has been investigated in numerous studies. These studies utilize frequency domain analysis to detect the generation of higher harmonics because of the formation of defects in the inspected medium. Frequency domain analysis based on the Fourier transform is a significant approach used in linear systems; however, it may not perform adequately on nonlinear systems. Hence, studies on nonlinear dynamics and physics consider analyzing systems' behavior in the phase-space domain. In contrast to the frequency domain analysis, which can result in information loss, analysis in the phase-space domain retains all the information regarding a system's states. Here, we investigate the nonlinearities induced by poor interlayer bonding in polymer-based additive manufactured parts in the phase-space domain. It is convenient to characterize the nonlinearity in the phase-space domain because it provides a geometrical representation of a system's states. Two types of low quality interlayer bond are considered. The first type is simulated artificially while the second type is manufactured by reducing the bond quality during the printing process. The analysis verified that the received ultrasonic signals exhibit classical nonlinear behavior in the phase-space domain while interacting with simulated poor interlayer bonds. In addition, the results showed that the behavior of ultrasonic waves is amplitude-dependent and evolves into models that have not been previously reported. Furthermore, Largest Lyapunov Exponent (LLE) is used to quantify the behavior of nonlinear ultrasonic waves while interacting with poor interlayer bonds. Using LLE, it was observed that the divergence rate of the phase-space trajectories depends on the amplitude of the excitation. This observation quantitatively proves that nonlinear behavior of ultrasound while interacting with poor interlayer bonds can be amplitude-dependent. The results of both simulated and inherent poor interlayer bond cases showed that LLE can be used as a reliable quantitative damage-sensitive feature to detect and potentially characterize weak bonds, which are difficult to detect using conventional approaches. Additionally, the reported results in the phase-space domain provide a basis for proposing a new mathematical model for ultrasonic waves interacting with poor interlayer bonds.

Device fabrication, characterization, and thermal neutron detection response of LiZnP and LiZnAs semiconductor devices

Nowotny-Juza compounds continue to be explored as candidates for solid-state neutron detectors. Such a device would have greater efficiency, in a compact form, than present day gas-filled 3 He and 10 BF 3 detectors. The 6 Li(n,t) 4 He reaction yields a total Q-value of 4.78 MeV, larger than 10 B, an energy easily identified above background radiations. Hence, devices fabricated from semiconductor compounds having either natural Li (nominally 7.5% 6 Li) or enriched 6 Li (usually 95% 6 Li) as constituent atoms may provide a material for compact high efficiency neutron detectors. Starting material was synthesized by preparing equimolar portions of Li, Zn, and As sealed under vacuum (10 -6 Torr) in quartz ampoules lined with boron nitride and subsequently reacted in a compounding furnace [1]. The raw synthesized material indicated the presence high impurity levels (material and electrical property characterizations). A static vacuum sublimation in quartz was performed to help purify the synthesized material [2], [3]. Bulk crystalline samples were grown from the purified material [4], [5]. Samples were cut using a diamond wire saw, and processed into devices. Bulk resistivity was determined from I–V curve measurements, ranging from 10 6 –10 11 Ω cm. Devices were characterized for sensitivity to 5.48 MeV alpha particles, 337 nm laser light, and neutron sensitivity in a thermal neutron diffracted beam at the Kansas State University TRIGA Mark II nuclear reactor. Thermal neutron reaction product charge induction was measured with a LiZnP device, and the reaction product spectral response was observed.

In-situ characterization of the Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier tubes used in the DEAP-3600 experiment

The Hamamatsu R5912-HQE photomultiplier-tube (PMT) is a novel high-quantum efficiency PMT. It is currently used in the DEAP-3600 dark matter detector and is of significant interest for future dark matter and neutrino experiments where high signal yields are needed. We report on the methods developed for in-situ characterization and monitoring of DEAP's 255 R5912-HQE PMTs. This includes a detailed discussion of typical measured single-photoelectron charge distributions, correlated noise (afterpulsing), dark noise, double, and late pulsing characteristics. Finally, the characterization is performed during the detector commissioning phase using laser light injected through a light diffusing sphere and during normal detector operation using LED light injected through optical fibres.

Characterization of a boron-loaded deuterated liquid scintillator for fast and thermal neutron detection

The preparation and characterization of novel boron-loaded deuterated liquid scintillators (BLDLS) are presented for the first time to investigate the performance of a detector sensitive to both fast and thermal neutrons intended for future neutron spectroscopy measurements. Three deuterated toluene-based scintillation cocktails were produced, one without boron, one loaded with ortho-carborane (natural boron isotopic abundance), and one with 96 wt% 10B enriched ortho-carborane. General optical and material properties were analyzed to include the composition, density, index of refraction, photoluminescence emission spectra, and absorbance spectra in addition to the relative light yield, resolution, relative efficiency, and pulse-shape-discrimination performance for all three scintillators and a hydrogen-based EJ-309 scintillator to evaluate the effects of boron loading in comparison with a common commercially-available scintillator and feasibility for future neutron spectroscopy measurements. Finally, the detection of shielded neutron sources was explored to capitalize on the 10B thermal neutron capture reaction. The results showed loading the scintillators with boron deteriorated the PSD performance slightly compared to the unloaded deuterated scintillator and resulted in a relative light yield loss of 26% and 41% for the 10B enriched and natural boron BLDLS, respectively. Lastly, the BLDLS have a higher relative detection efficiency than the unloaded deuterated scintillator for shielded neutron sources, based on total count rate, a desirable characteristic for missions related to finding and characterizing illicitly-trafficked special nuclear material.

Characterization of Multianode Photomultiplier Tubes for use in the CLAS12 RICH detector

In this work, we present results of the detailed study of several hundred Hamamatsu H12700 Multianode Photomultiplier Tubes (MaPMTs), characterizing their response to the Cherenkov light photons in the second Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector, a part of the CLAS12 upgrade at Jefferson Lab. The total number of pixels studied was 25536. The single photoelectron spectra were measured for each pixel at different high voltages and light intensities of the laser test setup. Using the same dedicated front-end electronics as in the first RICH detector, the setup allowed us to characterize each pixel’s properties such as gain, quantum efficiency, signal crosstalk between neighboring pixels, and determine the signal threshold values to optimize their efficiency to detect Cherenkov photons. A recently published state-of-the-art mathematical model, describing photon detector response functions measured in low light conditions, was extended to include the description of the crosstalk contributions to the spectra. The database of extracted parameters will be used for the final selection of the MaPMTs, their arrangement in the new RICH detector, and the optimization of the operational settings of the front-end electronics. The results show that the characteristics of the H12700 MaPMTs satisfy our requirements for the position-sensitive single photoelectron detectors.

Correlated characterization of 20 Ne-implanted targets using nuclear reaction analysis, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, and ion transport modeling

In this article, we present the preparation and characterization of a large sample of implanted noble gas targets for use in precision nuclear astrophysics measurements with intense proton beams. Tantalum and titanium backings were prepared using wet-acid etching, outgassed via resistive heating, and implanted with 20 Ne + beams from differing ion sources. These experimental targets were investigated using both nuclear reaction analysis techniques on the 1169-keV resonance in 20 Ne(p, $\gamma$) 21 Na and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry analysis with 2-MeV α-particle beams. Results from these analyses reveal small target-to-target variations in stoichiometry, while exhibiting excellent agreement independent of ion-beam analysis method. We also present a self-consistent validation of the nuclear reaction analysis results using ion transport simulations in TRIM-2013 that rely on input parameters from SIMNRA scattering-yield fits to Rutherford backscattering spectra. In addition to a complete description of the implantation profile, this analysis method provides an alternate solution for characterizing a large sample of implanted targets when no suitable resonances are available for nuclear reaction analysis.

AC-LGADs Fermilab front-end electronics characterization

Here, we characterized the front-end electronics used to process high-frequency signals from low-gain avalanche diodes (LGADs) at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. LGADs are silicon detectors employed for charged particle tracking, offering exceptional spatial and temporal resolution. The purpose of this characterization was to understand how the time resolution is influenced by the front-end electronics. To achieve this, we developed a setup capable of generating input signals with varying amplitudes. The output results demonstrated that signal processing by the front-end electronics plays a crucial role in enhancing time resolution. We showed that the time resolution achieved by the FEE board is better than 2 p s at the 1 σ level.

Characterization of 6 Li-loaded pulse-shape-discriminating plastic scintillators

Lithium-loaded organic plastic scintillators combine sensitivity to γ rays with the ability to detect both fast and slow neutrons, making them valuable for applications in nuclear security and in basic nuclear and particle physics. The goal of this work is to characterize the neutron response of two custom lithium-loaded organic plastic scintillators developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Both are ternary polystyrene-based formulations containing 1.5 wt.% 6 Li salts of isobutyric acid, but they differ in their primary and secondary dye compositions: one uses m-terphenyl as the primary fluor and with Exalite 404 as the wavelength shifter, whereas the other uses 2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) and 9,10-diphenyl-anthracene, respectively. The temporal response of the scintillators was measured via time-correlated single photon counting for γ-ray and neutron events. The proton light yield was measured using the double time-of-flight technique from 1.3 to 15 MeV at the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For the slow neutron response, an AmBe source moderated with polyethylene was used, and the light output from the 6 Li(n,α)t reaction was characterized. Differences in ionization quenching and temporal response were observed between the two materials with the PPO-containing scintillator exhibiting higher ionization quenching. These results provide performance benchmarks that can guide the design and optimization of future lithium-loaded plastic scintillators for use in basic science and applications.

Characterizing near-surface elemental layering on Mars using gamma-ray spectroscopy: A proof-of-principle experiment

Gamma-ray spectroscopy investigations characterize the chemical composition of planetary surfaces by measuring element-characteristic gamma rays with energies of ~100 keV to ~9 MeV. Over this energy range, the mean free path of a gamma ray varies from about 1 to 25 cm, therefore gamma-ray measurements sample subsurface composition. Many elements emit gamma rays at multiple, often widely spaced energies, so gamma-ray measurements can in principle also be used to identify depth-dependent variations in subsurface composition. We report results from laboratory measurements and radiation transport modeling designed to demonstrate this capability. The laboratory measurements verified the presence of depth-dependent gamma-ray signatures, and were then used to benchmark radiation transport simulations that were used to model realistic Mars-like scenarios. The models indicate that compositionally distinct subsurface deposits, buried to depths of ~80 cm (125 g/cm 2 ), can be identified using gamma-ray measurements. Going beyond identification to characterization (burial depth, relative composition of the layers) of the deposits requires knowledge of the vertical and horizontal variability in the water content of the near-surface surface materials, the local Galactic Cosmic Ray environment (magnitude and energy distribution), the depth-dependent neutron flux, gamma-ray production cross sections, and knowledge of the composition and column density of the atmosphere. The results of our experiments and models provided a basis for examining the utility of using orbiter- and lander-based gamma-ray measurements to identify subsurface deposits on Mars.

RISMC industry application #1 (ECCS/LOCA). Core characterization automation: Lattice codes interface for PHISICS/RELAP5-3D

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (U.S. NRC) is currently proposing rule-making “10 CFR 50.46c” to revise the loss-of-coolant-accident (LOCA) and emergency core cooling system (ECCS) acceptance criteria to include the effects of higher burn-up on cladding performance. The key implications of this proposition are that the cladding performance cannot be evaluated anymore as separated from other disciplines, but needs to be evaluated in a coupled manner with other physics. The Risk-Informed Safety Margin Characterization (RISMC) Pathway initiated several programs at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to support the industry in the transition to the new rule. One of these programs is the Industry Application #1 (IA1). IA1’s goal is to develop an Integrated Evaluation Model (IEM) called LOCA Toolkit for the US (LOTUS). This tool connects five major disciplines involved in LOCA analysis, among them is (automated) core design (CD-A). Here, this paper focuses solely on the design of LOTUS' CD-A module as well as a demonstration application of the CD-A module to a generic Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). The demonstration of the other LOTUS disciplines together with a demonstration example of the final risk-informed safety margin analysis is published in a separate paper. LOTUS is meant to provide the methodology framework into which the user can plug his established tools and codes. With the CD-A, the plant owner/operator will characterize his core design with the tools he has. He will then integrate his tools/methods into the LOTUS framework for the downstream safety analysis. For the current CD-A demonstration, the tools used are the already coupled codes PHISICS and RELAP5-3D, while cross section generation is done using the Studsvik lattice code HELIOS-2.

ROADRUNNER uranium nitride MiniFuel: Experimental design, fabrication and pre-irradiation baseline characterization for accelerated burnup testing

Uranium nitride (UN) is a promising fuel candidate for advanced reactor systems owing to its high uranium density and thermal conductivity; however, its qualification remains constrained by the scarcity of well-controlled irradiation performance data. Here, to address this limitation, the ROADRUNNER (Research On ADvancing the peRformance of UraNium Nitrides in Extreme enviRonments) campaign employs the MiniFuel platform in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) to enable accelerated burnup irradiation testing under tightly controlled and largely isothermal conditions. This paper presents the experimental design, fuel fabrication, and pre-irradiation baseline characterization of the ROADRUNNER UN MiniFuel campaign. Thirty-six UN minidisc specimens were fabricated with systematically varied as-fabricated density (86–96% of theoretical density), carbon impurity content (961–5240 ppm), oxygen content (≤ ∼2000 ppm), and grain size (2.5–24 μm). The irradiation matrix spans nominal fuel temperatures of 873 K, 1173 K, and 1473 K and target burnups of 3.75%, 6.0%, and 7.5% fissions per initial metal atom (FIMA). Neutronic and thermal analyses were performed to define specimen-specific burnup accumulation and temperature histories, establishing the boundary conditions for subsequent in-pile behavior. Comprehensive pre-irradiation characterization—including dimensional metrology, density verification, impurity analysis, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray computed tomography, and confocal profilometry—provides a detailed baseline for post-irradiation examination. Pre-irradiation data were further used to generate predictive estimates of fission gas release and swelling using existing empirical correlations. This quantitative comparison reveals substantial inter-model divergence at intermediate and elevated temperatures that exceeds propagated input uncertainties, highlighting structural gaps in the historical irradiation database. The ROADRUNNER irradiation campaign is currently underway in HFIR, with initial firs cycle completed in late 2025 and remaining targets scheduled through 2027. The experimental design and baseline dataset presented here establish the framework needed to interpret forthcoming post-irradiation measurements and to provide discriminating data for the validation and refinement of physics-based UN fuel performance models.

AIS-based characterization of navigation conflicts along the US Atlantic Coast prior to development of wind energy

This study characterizes navigation conflicts in a region with a large traffic volume along the US Atlantic Coast, utilizing Automated Identification System (AIS) data for 2010. The region includes areas proposed for wind energy development. The characterization could be useful in evaluating the effect of offshore wind areas on navigation conflicts. The study processes the AIS data to provide pairwise comparisons of vessel interactions (encounters and near-misses) as they occurred. Using the vessel encounter data, analyses are made using a ‘blind’ vessel assumption to evaluate the potential for both near-misses and collisions. Then statistical analyses are made to estimate the point values and uncertainty for each type of encounter (crossing, head-on, overtaking). Examination of the frequency/number of collisions from actual observations is made. The examination of actual near-misses, potential near-misses, and potential collisions provides comparable results in the number of near-misses and collisions. The potential near-miss analyses include an examination of the timing of responses made by vessels to prevent near-misses. This informed the statistical analysis but may also have utility in the simulation of navigation conflicts.

Nanopore networks in colloidal silica assemblies characterized by XCT for confined fluid flow modeling

Fluid flow through nanopore structures has exhibited different behavior than that described by Darcy's law, derived from pore networks of micrometer scale. Here, pressure assemblies of colloidal silica spheres of specified diameters from 94 to 620 nanometers were prepared as model nano-porous media. The smaller silica spheres tended to form random packing, but some substantial ordering was found in the packing of the larger silica spheres. X-ray computed tomography (XCT), with a voxel resolution of 16 nm, was used to characterize the nanopore networks. The porosity of the Nano-XCT pore network (34%) was less than the total porosity of the assemblies as determined by X-ray attenuation (52%), possibly due to the limits of voxel resolution during segmentation. Fluid flow in the nanopore networks was simulated using the single-phase Lattice Boltzmann Method, and the simulated permeability was compared with the empirical and experimental values. Based on our characterization, although a well-ordered packing of silica spheres was not achieved, it was found that the nanopore networks in the colloidal silica assemblies had pore size distributions corresponding to the particle sizes. The simulated permeability was less than the experimental measurement for water flow, but the complex packing of silica spheres and surface chemistry issues need to be considered in future research.

Advances in containment methods and plutonium recovery strategies that led to the structural characterization of plutonium(IV) tetrachloride tris-diphenylsulfoxide, PuCl 4 (OSPh 2 ) 3

In an attempt to further advance the understanding of plutonium coordination chemistry, we report a robust method for recycling and obtaining plutonium aqueous stock solutions that can be used as a convenient starting material in plutonium synthesis. This approach was used to prepare and characterize plutonium(IV) tetrachloride tris-diphenylsulfoxide, PuCl 4 (OSPh 2 ) 3 , by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The PuCl 4 (OSPh 2 ) 3 compound represents a rare example of a 7-coordinate plutonium(IV) complex. Structural characterization of PuCl 4 (OSPh 2 ) 3 by X-ray diffraction utilized a new containment method for radioactive crystals. The procedure makes use of epoxy, polyimide loops, and a polyester sheath to provide a robust method for safely containing and easily handling radioactive samples. Lastly, the described procedure is more user friendly than traditional containment methods that employ fragile quartz capillary tubes. Additionally, moving to polyester, instead of quartz, lowers the background scattering from the heavier silicon atoms.

Experimental study on flow characterization of a rectangular spouted bed by image processing

Systematic image processing methods are applied to characterize gas-solid flow under different operating conditions in a 30.2 mm x 101.6 mm rectangular spouted bed. Geldart D particles are imaged using a highspeed video camera. Superficial gas velocity, initial bed height, and nozzle size are investigated as influence factors. By applying adaptive thresholding and logical operation to the video frames, the original color images are transformed into binary images exposing detailed boundary information. By analyzing the binary image using a self-developed algorithm in combination with mask operations, the bed height is successfully determined, through which the variation of the bed expansion ratio with superficial gas velocity can be obtained. Additionally, the application of image morphological operations, i.e. dilation and erosion on the binarized images ensures the accurate identification of the contours of the jet and fountain so that the jet and fountain heights can be determined. Based on the image processing methods, the variation of bed expansion ratio, jet height and fountain height with the three influence factors are discussed. The current study highlights the application of image analysis in investigating the flow characterization and obtaining more hydrodynamic information in a rectangular spouted bed.

Characterizing pulse reverse-pulse uranium recovery in molten LiCl-KCl with intermittent electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

In this work, EIS was applied to characterize the temporal recovery of uranium from UCl 4 onto a tungsten electrode in molten LiCl-KCl salt between sets of pulse reverse-pulse (PRP) deposition steps. Impedance measurements were fitted to an equivalent circuit (EC) model of the electrode interface using Simplex optimization to calculate the double layer capacitance, charge transfer resistance, Warburg impedance, and CPE-restricted diffusion. Diffusion of uranium towards the electrode surface dominated the surface interactions for the first 80 cycles, followed by a transition to kinetic control for the remaining 520 cycles. A decrease in the Warburg impedance showed depletion of uranium from the bulk melt, which was confirmed to be a 52.5% reduction through ICP-OES. Reduction in the phasance from CPE-restricted diffusion suggested the formation of pores in the uranium deposits, which was confirmed through SEM characterization.

Characterizing forecastability of wind sites in the United States

With the rapid growth of wind power, managing its uncertainty and variability becomes critical in power system operations. Wind forecasting is one of the enablers to partially tackle challenges associated with wind power uncertainty. To improve the 'forecasting ability', defined as forecastability, different forecasting methods have been developed to assist grid integration of wind energy. However, forecasting performance not only relies on the power of forecasting models, but is also related to local weather conditions and (known as wind characteristics) wind farm properties. In this study, geospatial and instance spatial distributions of six wind characteristics and two forecasting error metrics are first analyzed based on 126,000 + wind sites in the United States. Forecasts in different look-ahead times are generated by using a machine learning based multi-model forecasting framework model and the Weather Research and Forecasting model. A forecastability quantification method is developed by characterizing the relationship between forecastability and wind series entropy using three regression methods, i.e., linear approximation, locally weighted scatterplot smoother nonlinear nonparametric regression, and quantile regression. It is found that the forecastability of a wind site can be successfully characterized by wind series characteristics, thereby providing valuable information at different stages of wind energy projects.
