Benchmark for two-dimensional large scale coherent structures in partially magnetized E × B plasmas—community collaboration & lessons learned

Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) are essential to both fundamental scientific research and critical industrial applications. As in many areas of science, numerical simulations have become a vital tool for uncovering new physical phenomena and guiding technological development. Code benchmarking remains crucial for verifying implementations and evaluating performance. This work continues the Landmark benchmark initiative, a series specifically designed to support the verification of LTP codes. In this study, seventeen simulation codes from a collaborative community of nineteen international institutions modeled a partially magnetized E × B Penning discharge. The emergence of large scale coherent structures, or rotating plasma spokes, endows this configuration with an enormous range of time scales, making it particularly challenging to simulate. The codes showed excellent agreement on the rotation frequency of the spoke as well as key plasma properties, including time-averaged ion density, plasma potential, and electron temperature profiles. Achieving this level of agreement came with challenges, and we share lessons learned on how to conduct future benchmarking campaigns. Comparing code implementations, computational hardware, and simulation runtimes also revealed interesting trends, which are summarized with the aim of guiding future plasma simulation software development.

Using Electrochemistry to Benchmark, Understand, and Develop Noble Metal Nanoparticle Syntheses

The complex chemical nature of metal nanoparticle synthesis presents obstacles for the mechanistic understanding of nanoparticle growth and predictive synthesis design, despite significant progress in this area. Real-time characterization of the chemical processes that take place throughout nanoparticle growth will enable progress toward addressing outstanding challenges in metal nanoparticle synthesis, such as mitigating synthetic reproducibility issues, defining chemical mechanisms that direct nanoparticle growth, and designing synthetic conditions for previously unachievable combinations of nanoparticle shape and composition. In this Perspective, we present open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements as an in situ, real-time method for characterizing chemical changes during nanoparticle growth and discuss the method’s strengths in comparison to and in combination with other characterization techniques. We propose the use of OCP measurements as benchmarks for troubleshooting irreproducibility and streamlining synthetic optimization. Finally, we explore possibilities for using the increased parameter space accessible by electrodeposition to accelerate the development of shape-selective nanoparticle syntheses.
