Modeling and Optimization of a Rotating Packed Bed Contactor with a Tetraamine-Appended Metal−Organic Framework for CO 2 Capture

A potential contactor technology for sorbent-based CO 2 capture is the rotating packed bed that contains separate sections for continuous adsorption and desorption. A heat exchanger can be embedded to remove heat in the adsorption section and add heat in the desorption section. In this work, we develop a two-dimensional (2D) model of a rotating packed bed for use in CO 2 capture applications. Mass and energy balances for the model are developed based on a Ljungström-type air preheater, which accounts for the counter-current axial flow of gas phases in separate sections of the bed and the rotation of a solid sorbent, which cycles between adsorption and desorption sections. The sorbent used for this analysis is the tetraamine-appended metal−organic framework Mg 2 (dobpdc)(3−4− 3), chosen for its stability and affinity for CO 2 at low partial pressures, such as those from a natural gas power plant source. An optimization problem is solved that considers the trade-off between maximizing the productivity of the bed and minimizing energy consumption. Maximum productivity and minimum energy are found to be 8.53 kg/h/m 3 and 3.84 MJ/kg, respectively, when these objectives are optimized independently. It is observed that the flue gas pressure and bed rotational speed are the desired operating variables to vary for model-based design of experiments to reduce uncertainty in parameter estimation, as these two variables yielded the most information content based on the Fisher information matrix.

Effective field theory for radiative corrections to charged-current processes. II. Axial-vector coupling

Here we discuss the hadronic structure-dependent radiative corrections to the axial-vector coupling that controls single-nucleon weak charged-current processes—commonly denoted by 𝑔 𝐴 . We match the Standard Model at the GeV scale onto chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order in the one-nucleon sector, in the presence of electromagnetic and weak interactions. As a result, we provide a representation for the corrections to 𝑔 𝐴 in terms of infrared finite convolutions of simple kernels with the single-nucleon matrix elements of time-ordered products of two and three quark bilinears (vector, axial-vector, and pseudoscalar). We discuss strategies to determine the required nonperturbative input from data, lattice-QCD (+QED), and possibly hadronic models. This work paves the way for a precise comparison of the values of the ratio 𝑔 𝐴 ⁡/𝑔 𝑉 extracted from experiment and from lattice QCD, which constrain physics beyond the Standard Model.

Non-invertible symmetries and LSM-type constraints on a tensor product Hilbert space

We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+1d lattice models on a tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect and a conserved operator, and the latter can be presented as a matrix product operator. Importantly, unlike its continuum counterpart, the symmetry algebra involves lattice translations. Consequently, it is not described by a fusion category. In the presence of this defect, the symmetry algebra involving parity/time-reversal is realized projectively, which is reminiscent of an anomaly. Different Hamiltonians with the same lattice non-invertible symmetry can flow in their continuum limits to infinitely many different fusion categories (with different Frobenius-Schur indicators), including, as a special case, the Ising CFT. The non-invertible symmetry leads to a constraint similar to that of Lieb-Schultz-Mattis, implying that the system cannot have a unique gapped ground state. It is either in a gapless phase or in a gapped phase with three (or a multiple of three) ground states, associated with the spontaneous breaking of the lattice non-invertible symmetry.

Detection and quantification of trace technetium in the presence of molybdenum using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy

Technetium (Tc) is a very important element that is encountered in many aspects, from its presence in radioactive waste and its potential environmental impact to its use as a medical radioisotope. Its detection and quantification in liquid samples is traditionally cumbersome, involving detailed sample preparation and analysis by mass spectrometry or scintillation. This article demonstrates the first comprehensive emission spectral analysis of Tc from a liquid sample by immobilization in a polymer and analysis by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). A survey of LIBS spectra was completed to identify the strongest analytical lines for quantification of trace Tc in the presence of Mo. The quantification of Tc in a Mo-containing matrix was selected because Tc radioisotopes are the daughter products of Mo isotope decay. The first reported calibration curves by LIBS are provided with limits of detection and quantification down to 0.710 µg mL −1 and 1.39 µg mL −1 , respectively. Ultimately, this study demonstrated the feasibility of trace Tc quantification using LIBS and will serve as a reference for future research related to monitoring this radioactive species.

Dual-unitary shadow tomography

We introduce a classical shadow tomography scheme based on dual-unitary brick-wall circuits termed "dual-unitary shadow tomography" (DUST). For this we study operator spreading and Pauli weight dynamics in one-dimensional qubit systems, evolved by random two-local dual-unitary gates arranged in a brick-wall structure, ending with a final measurement layer. We do this by deriving general constraints on the Pauli weight transfer matrix and specializing to the case of dual-unitarity. We first show that dual-unitaries must have a minimal amount of entropy production. Remarkably, we find that operator spreading in these circuits have a rich structure resembling that of relativistic quantum field theories, with massless chiral excitations that can decay or fuse into each other, which we call left- or right-movers. We develop a mean-field description of the Pauli weight in terms of $\rho(x,t)$, which represents the probability of having nontrivial support at site $x$ and depth $t$ starting from a fixed weight distribution. We develop an equation of state for $\rho(x,t)$, and simulate it numerically using Monte Carlo simulations. Lastly, we demonstrate that the fast-thermalizing properties of dual-unitary circuits make them better at predicting large operators than shallow brick-wall Clifford circuits. Our results are robust to finite-size effects due to the chirality of dual-unitary brick-wall circuits.

Quantum Time-Space Tradeoffs for Matrix Problems

We consider the time and space required for quantum computers to solve a wide variety of problems involving matrices, many of which have only been analyzed classically in prior work. Our main results show that for a range of linear algebra problems—including matrix-vector product, matrix inversion, matrix multiplication and powering—existing classical time-space tradeoffs, several of which are tight for every space bound, also apply to quantum algorithms with at most a constant factor loss. For example, for almost all fixed matrices 𝐴, including the discrete Fourier transform matrix, we prove that quantum circuits with at most 𝑇 input queries and 𝑆 qubits of memory require 𝑇 = Ω⁢(𝑛 2 /𝑆) to compute matrix-vector product 𝐴⁢𝑥 for 𝑥 ∈{0,1 𝑛 . We similarly prove that matrix multiplication for 𝑛 ×𝑛 binary matrices requires 𝑇 = Ω⁢(𝑛 3 /$\sqrt{𝑆}$). Because many of our lower bounds are matched by deterministic algorithms with the same time and space complexity, our results show that quantum computers cannot provide any asymptotic advantage for these problems with any space bound. We obtain matching lower bounds for the stronger notion of quantum cumulative memory complexity—the sum of the space per layer of a circuit. We also consider Boolean (i.e., AND-OR) matrix multiplication and matrix-vector products, improving the previous quantum time-space tradeoff lower bounds for 𝑛 × 𝑛 Boolean matrix multiplication to 𝑇 = Ω⁢(𝑛 2.5 /𝑆 1/4 ) from 𝑇 = Ω⁢(𝑛 2.5 /𝑆 1/2 ). Our improved lower bound for Boolean matrix multiplication is based on a new coloring argument that extracts more from the strong direct product theorem that was the basis for prior work. To obtain our tight lower bounds for linear algebra problems, we require much stronger bounds than strong direct product theorems. We obtain these bounds by adding a new bucketing method to the quantum recording-query technique of Zhandry that lets us apply classical arguments to upper bound the success probability of quantum circuits.

Permutation matrix representation quantum Monte Carlo

We present a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of general quantum and classical many-body models within a single unifying framework. The algorithm builds on a power series expansion of the quantum partition function in its off-diagonal terms and is both parameter-free and Trotter error-free. In our approach, the quantum dimension consists of products of elements of a permutation group. As such, it allows for the study of a very wide variety of models on an equal footing. To demonstrate the utility of our technique, we use it to clarify the emergence of the sign problem in the simulations of non-stoquastic physical models. We showcase the flexibility of our algorithm and the advantages it offers over existing state-of-the-art by simulating transverse- field Ising model Hamiltonians and comparing the performance of our technique against that of the stochastic series expansion algorithm. Furthermore, we also study a transverse-field Ising model augmented with randomly chosen two-body transverse-field interactions.

Tailored Fiber Placement for Complex Preforms

Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) offers a novel approach to optimize fiber architecture for the fabrication of complex, structural parts not traditionally suitable for advanced composites. This technology not only offers new routes for weight reduction via metal substitution, it also offers cost reduction through minimization of material scrap and reduced labor. This reduction in component weight leads to increased fuel efficiency, and reduced production energy consumption, thereby, helping to achieve the stated IACMI technical goals. This technology leverages centuries of manufacturing development in support of the textile and embroidery industry. One major drawback to this technology is the lack of commercial or non- proprietary structural performance data and robust analytical tools used to optimize fiber architecture and predict performance. This project was structured to utilize common sub-element features to validate analytical performance tools, generate performance data, and gather cost and performance data on components of interest. This project was designed to give industry sponsors the confidence and ability to take full advantage of TFP to fabricate primary, highly loaded structure and integrate features such as metallic fasteners. The project focused principally on the use of high strength carbon fiber, such as T700, and the use of aerospace epoxy resin matrix to primarily support development of new composite applications in vehicle, aerospace, and industrial markets. This project applied previously developed analytical tools to predict the performance of TFP produced parts. This work focused on developing the pipeline to characterize material in order to accurately predict component performance when modifying the TFP print paths and stitch density. This focused on experimental characterization via standardized ASTM testing, alongside experimental testing of more representative service components by testing curved beam strength, beam shear performance, a large scale TFP lug, and ultimately designing a fully TFP clip bracket that reduced weight and cost compared to a traditional metallic component. The new knowledge gained from this program included: 1) development and demonstration of novel analytical tools applied to analysis of TFP preforms; 2) development and demonstration of a building block approach using coupons and sub-elements to optimize the design of a more complex component; 3) demonstration that optimized fiber orientation using TFP can exceed performance of conventional textile composite materials and can open new applications currently limited to metallic components; 4) Demonstration of performance and cost benefits of the TFP process as compared to metallic and conventional textile composites. Recommendations for follow-on work include development of design allowables to assess the impact of high temperature/moisture exposure or saturation during loading, tracking the impact of stitching needle wear on the performance of parts and ability to stitch thicker preforms, using TFP preforms as local reinforcement at areas of bearing or complex loading, and topology optimization of components by tow steering. The expertise developed during the course of this project can be leveraged to provide commercial engineering design and fabrication services using TFP. UDRI is in the process of formalizing their partnership with Spintech, who will serve as the commercialization partner for this technology and provide molding services and deliver finished components to the end user. UDRI will continue to produce the preforms until the economics allow Spintech to procure its own TFP equipment or lease UDRI equipment, at which point UDRI will step away from manufacture and serve as the engineering and design lead on product development.

Magnetic phase transitions in quantum spin-orbital liquids

Here, we investigate the spin and orbital correlations of a superexchange model with spin $\textit{S}$ = 1 and orbital $\textit{L}$ = 1 relevant for $5d^4$ transition-metal Mott insulators, using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). For spin-orbit coupling λ = 0, the orbitals are in an entangled state that is decoupled from the spins. We find two phases with increasing λ: (I) the $\textit{S}$2 phase with two peaks in the structure factor for λ ≤ λ$_{c1}$ ≈ 0.34$\textit{J}$ where $\textit{J}$ is the ferromagnetic exchange; and, (II) the $\textit{S}$1 phase for λ$_{c1}$ < λ ≤ λ$_{c2}$ ≈ 1.2$\textit{J}$ with emergent antiferromagnetic correlations. Both $\textit{S}$1 and $\textit{S}$2 phases are shown to exhibit power-law correlations, indicative of a gapless spectrum. Upon increasing λ > λ$_{c2}$ leads to a product state of local spin-orbital singlets that exhibit exponential decay of correlations, indicative of a gapped phase. We obtain insights into the phases from the well-known Uimin-Lai-Sutherland model in an external field that provides an approximate description of our model within mean-field theory.

Experimental studies on photoabsorption by endohedral fullerene ions with a focus on Xe@C 60 + confinement resonances

A brief overview on the status of experimental investigations into photoionization and fragmentation of fullerenes and endohedral fullerenes by absorption of a single short-wavelength photon is presented. The focus of this paper is on the endohedral Xe@C 60 + molecular ion in which a xenon atom is centrally encapsulated inside a C$^{+}_{60}$ fullerene cage. Confinement resonances that result from the interference of Xe photoelectron matter waves emerging from the C$^{+}_{60}$ cavity were studied by exposing Xe@C 60 + ions to synchrotron radiation of 60 to 150 eV energy which is the region of the well-known giant atomic Xe 4d excitation resonance. Photoions Xe@C n q+ (with final charge states q = 2,3,4 of the product ions and numbers of carbon atoms left in the cage) were recorded as a function of photon energy and cross sections for the individual reaction channels were determined. In addition to previous work, new final channels (q = 2; n = 60, 58 and q = 4; n = 58, 56) were observed, and thus, about 70% of the oscillator strength expected for the encapsulated Xe atom in the investigated energy range could be recovered. The present results establish the first and, so far, only conclusive experimental observation of confinement resonances in an endohedral fullerene. The data are in remarkable agreement with relativistic R-matrix calculations that accompanied the previous experimental work.

Xenon–metal pair formation in UO 2 investigated using DFT + U

A recent experimental study on a spent uranium dioxide (UO 2 ) fuel sample from Belgium Reactor 3 identified a unique pair structure formed by the noble metal phase (NMP) and fission gas [xenon (Xe)] precipitate. However, the fundamental mechanism behind this structure remains unclear. The present study aims to provide an understanding of the interaction between five different metal precipitates [molybdenum (Mo), ruthenium (Ru), palladium (Pd), technetium (Tc), and rhodium (Rh)] and the Xe fission gas atoms in UO 2 , by using density functional theory (DFT) in combination with the Hubbard U correction to compute the formation energies involved. All DFT + U calculations were performed with occupation matrix control to ensure antiferromagnetic ordering of UO 2 . The calculated formation and binding energies of the Xe and solid fission products in the NMP reveal that these metal precipitates form stable pair structures with Xe. Notably, the formation energy of Xe–metal pairs is lower than that of the isolated single defects in all instances, with Pd and Mo showing the most favorable binding energy, likely accounting for the observed pair structure formation.

Rotation of Crystal Seed During Early Stages of Growth Reveals the Anisotropy of Glass Matrix

Glass-ceramics are a highly valuable class of materials that are needed for realizing many high-tech as well as consumer products. They are made by controlling crystallization of glass. Theoretical atomistic insights obtained using molecular dynamics simulations in this work reveal that crystal seeds can spontaneously rotate within glass at high temperatures due to anisotropic forces at the glass-crystal interface. This rotation challenges the long‐held view of glass as isotropic solid, and highlights how atomic‐scale inhomogeneities influence crystal growth and microstructure, hence the physical properties glass‐ceramics.

Fluctuations in Hill’s equation parameters and application to cosmic reheating

Cosmic inflation provides a compelling framework for explaining several observed features of our Universe, but its viability depends on an efficient reheating phase that converts the inflaton’s energy into Standard Model particles. This conversion often proceeds through nonperturbative mechanisms such as parametric resonance, which is described by Hill’s equation. In this work, we investigate how stochastic fluctuations in the parameters of Hill’s equation can influence particle production during reheating. We show that such fluctuations can arise from couplings to light scalar fields and can significantly alter the stability bands in the resonance structure, thereby enhancing the growth of fluctuations and broadening the region of efficient energy transfer. Using random matrix theory and stochastic differential equations, we decompose the particle growth rate into deterministic and noise-induced components and demonstrate analytically and numerically that even modest noise leads to substantial particle production in otherwise stable regimes. Furthermore, these results suggest that stochastic effects can robustly enhance the efficacy of reheating across a wide swath of parameter space, with implications for early Universe cosmology, UV completions involving multiple scalar fields, and the resolution of the cosmological moduli problem.

Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Polymer Precursors to Li x PON and Li x SiPON Glasses: Materials That Enable All-Solid-State Batteries (ASBs)

LiPON-like glasses that form lithium dendrite impenetrable interfaces between lithium battery components are enabling materials that may replace liquid electrolytes permitting production of all-solid-state batteries (ASBs). Unfortunately, to date, such materials are introduced only via gas-phase deposition. Furthermore, we demonstrate the design and synthesis of easily scaled, lowtemperature, low-cost, solution-processable inorganic polymers containing LiPON/LiSiPON elements. OPCl 3 and hexachlorophosphazene [Cl 2 P=N] 3 provide starting points for elaboration using MNH 2 (M = Li/Na) or (Me 3 Si)NH followed by reaction with controlled amounts of LiNH 2 to produce oligomers/polymers with molecular weights (MWs) ≈1–2 kDa characterized by multinuclear NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization (MALDI)-time-of-flight (ToF) offering stabilities to 150–200 °C and ceramic yields (800 °C) of 50–60%. 7 Li NMR suggests that precursor-bound Li + dissociates easily, beneficial for electrochemical applications. XPS shows higher N/P ratios (1–3) than via gas-phase methods (<1) correlating N/P ratios, 7 Li shifts, and Li + conductivities. Li 2 SiPHN offers the highest ambient conductivity of 3 × 10 –1 mS cm –1 at 400 °C/2 h/N 2 .

Neural simulation-based inference of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling via off-shell Higgs production

One of the forthcoming major challenges in particle physics is the experimental determination of the Higgs trilinear self-coupling. While efforts have largely focused on on-shell double- and single-Higgs production in proton-proton collisions, off-shell Higgs production has also been proposed as a valuable complementary probe. In this article, we design a hybrid neural simulation-based inference (NSBI) approach to construct a likelihood of the Higgs signal incorporating modifications from the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT), relevant background processes, and quantum interference effects. It leverages the training efficiency of matrix-element-enhanced techniques, which are vital for robust SMEFT applications, while also incorporating the practical advantages of classification-based methods for effective background estimates. We demonstrate that our NSBI approach achieves sensitivity close to the theoretical optimum and provide expected constraints for the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. While we primarily concentrate on the Higgs trilinear self-coupling, we also consider constraints on other SMEFT operators that affect off-shell Higgs production.

ORMATEX

The Oak Ridge Matrix Exponential (ORMATEX) software library contains methods to compute the matrix exponential and the action of the matrix exponential on a vector. Additionally, this package contains the related methods for the phi-functions which commonly appear in a wide class of exponential time integration methods. Krylov methods are provided to evaluate the matrix exponential-vector and phi-vector products for cases where the matrix is large and sparse. Utilizing these methods, ORMATEX implements performant exponential integrators for large systems of coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The exponential time integration routines in ORMATEX are particularly suitable to large, stiff systems of equations. These routines may be utilized as a competitive alternative to classical implicit and explicit time integration schemes for certain classes of differential equations where the problem stiffness can be predominately explained by the linear terms.

Development of Novel Ferritic-Martensitic Steels with Superior Creep Properties for Power Plant Applications

A creep resistant martensitic steel, CPJ-7, was developed with an operating temperature approaching 650°C. Subsequently, another creep resistant martensitic steel, JMP, was designed with the potential to operate at, or slightly above, 650°C. This report describes the development of these alloys from early iterations of CPJ steels to the final CPJ-7 formulation as well as the more heat resistant JMP steel formulation. The design originated from computational modeling for phase stability and precipitate strengthening using fifteen constituent elements. Approximately forty heats of CPJ and ten of JMP, each weighing ~7 kg, were vacuum induction melted. A computationally optimized heat treatment schedule was developed to homogenize the ingots prior to hot forging and rolling prior to final normalization and tempering. Overall, wrought and cast versions of CPJ-7 present superior creep properties when compared to wrought and cast versions of COST alloys for steam turbine and wrought and cast versions of P91/92 for boiler applications. For instance, the Larson Miller Parameter curve for CPJ-7 at 650°C almost coincides with that of COST E at 620°C. The prolonged creep life was attributed to slowing down the process of the destabilization of the MX and M 23 C 6 precipitates at 650°C. On the other hand, the cast version of CPJ-7 also revealed superior mechanical performance, well above commercially available cast 9% Cr martensitic steel or derivatives, especially for creep life at 650°C. The casting process employed slow cooling to simulate the conditions of a thick wall full-size steam turbine casing but utilized a separate homogenization step prior to final normalization and tempering. To advance the development of CPJ-7 for commercial applications, a process was used to scale up the production of the alloy using vacuum induction melting (VIM) and electroslag remelting (ESR), which underlined the importance of melt processing control of intentionally designed minor and trace elements in these advanced alloys. Following the work on CPJ-7, the JMP steels were designed with higher Co for increased solid solution strengthening, Si for oxidation resistance and increased W (with low Mo content) for matrix strength and stability as well as solid solution strengthening. The JMP steels showed increases in creep life compared to CPJ-7 between 118 to 150% at 650°C for testing at various stresses between 138 MPa and 207 MPa. On a Larson-Miller plot, the performance of the JMP steels surpasses that of state-of-the-art MARBN and other MARBN-type steels. The influence of various elements within the composition of the alloys on the microstructure and mechanical properties are discussed. This report presents approximately 420,000 h of in-house creep testing, the equivalent of almost 50 years of cumulative creep tests.

Microstructure refinement of hot deformed Dy-free NdFeB magnets through a novel cold sintering approach by pressure-assisted spark plasma sintering

Anisotropic fine-grained Dy-free NdFeB high-performance magnets were produced using a novel cold sintering approach by pressure-assisted spark plasma sintering (SPS). The NdFeB nanocrystalline ribbon powders were subjected to cold sintering below 450 °C using pressure-assisted SPS, followed by hot deformation at 710 °C and 810 °C via SPS. Results indicate that cold sintering below 450 °C effectively restricts grain growth in the NdFeB magnets, yielding sub-100 nm scale grains across both fine-grained regions and most coarse-grained regions. The refined grain structure achieved through cold sintering allows for a lower hot deformation temperature as compared with the magnet by conventional sintering, as finer grains allow easier deformation and grain sliding/rotation. This process produces a highly fine-grained and anisotropic microstructure to achieve high magnetic performance (i.e., high intrinsic coercivity, remanence, and maximum energy product) in the magnets. The cold sintering (at 350 °C) and lower hot deformation temperatures required (e.g., 710 °C) help control grain coarsening and limit grain size that is commensurate with the size of a single magnetic domain of the Nd 2 Fe 14 B magnetic matrix phase, resulting in high intrinsic coercivity (H ci =11.4 kOe). Furthermore, the reduced hot deformation temperature mitigates the formation of coarse grain bands, leading to improved magnetic properties, specifically an increased remanence (B r = 14.3 kGs) and a high maximum energy product ((BH) max = 48 MGOe). In conclusion, cold sintered hot deformed NdFeB magnet also shows good thermal stability with reversible temperature coefficient α(B r )= -0.097 %/K and α(H ci )= -0.616 %/K at elevated temperatures up to 400 K.
