Strain-modulated helimagnetism and emergent magnetic phase diagrams in highly crystalline MnP nanorod films

Here, we explore strain-modulated helimagnetism in highly crystalline MnP nanorod films grown on Si(100) substrates using molecular beam epitaxy. The strained MnP film exhibits a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition at $T_C$ ~ 279 K, and the FM to helical phase transition at $T_N$ ~ 110 K. The value of $T_N$ is greater than $T_N$ ~ 47K for the MnP single crystal, indicating strong strain-modulated helimagnetic states in the MnP nanorod film. The presence of significant thermal hysteresis in the helical phase indicates the coexistence of competing magnetic interactions, leading to the first-order metamagnetic transition. Similar to its single-crystal counterpart, an anisotropic magnetic effect is observed in the MnP film, which is independently confirmed by magnetic hysteresis loop and radio-frequency transverse susceptibility (TS) measurements. The evolution of the screw to the cone and fan phases is precisely tracked from magnetization vs magnetic field/temperature measurements. The temperature dependence of the anisotropy fields, extracted from the TS spectra, yields further insight into the competing nature of the magnetic phases. Unfolding of the different helical phases at $\textit{T}$ < 120 K (~$T_N$) is analyzed by the temperature- and field-dependent magnetic entropy change. Based on these findings, the comprehensive magnetic phase diagrams of the MnP nanorod film are constructed for both the in-plane and out of plane magnetic field directions, revealing emergent strain/dimensionality-driven helical magnetic features that are absent in the magnetic phase diagram of the MnP single crystal.

Optimization of a superconducting adiabatic radio frequency neutron resonant spin flipper

The neutron radio frequency (RF) spin flipper is one of the key components to implement neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) for high resolution measurements of dynamics in materials. Various types of RF flippers have been built and implemented including adiabatic and non-adiabatic RF flippers. For a pulsed neutron source, adiabatic RF flipper is more favorable due to its wide operation bandwidth. However, the optimization criteria of an adiabatic RF flipper is still lacking. Also they are difficult to be operated in bootstrap mode, which can be use to minimize the phase aberration and increase the achievable resolution. In the report by Dadisman et al. (2019), an adiabatic RF flipper has been built for the first time with superconducting technologies, which allows bootstrap mode. Here in this article, the method of optimizing the device and the detailed design will be discussed for each component of the device.

Abstract for CRADA between NETL and the University of Massachusetts Lowell (AGMT-1275)

The demand for printed electronics over conventional electronics is growing each year due to their low costs, low material waste during manufacturing, and compatibility with flexible substrates. The development of inks for printed electronics is a challenge because each printing technology requires different viscosities and curing behaviors to create devices with controlled structures at the micron scale, or smaller. Carbon is a great candidate for fabricating printed electronics devices because it is inexpensive and earth abundant, easily functionalized to impart miscibility with solvent systems, and has electrical properties that can be tuned from insulating to conducting. Despite these advantages, carbons are rarely used for printed electronics because there is a scarcity of inks available for non-contact printing technologies. To address these challenges, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) will collaborate with the University of Massachusetts Lowell (Participant) through its Printed Electronics Research Collaborative (PERC) to develop engineered carbons and ink formulations optimized specifically for printing radio- and microwave-frequency electronic devices using ink jet, aerosol jet, syringe dispensing, and other additive manufacturing techniques. NETL will process coal, petroleum, and other carbon feedstocks to make engineered carbons with the appropriate composition, microstructure, surface functionalization, and particle morphologies needed to stabilize ink suspensions and impart useful electronic properties to printed devices. The University of Massachusetts Lowell will utilize these engineered carbons to determine which solvent systems and ink additives are needed to achieve the appropriate viscosity, stability, and printability to make useful ink formulations. The University of Massachusetts Lowell will then utilize these inks to manufacture printed resistors and conductors using inkjet, aerosol jet, and syringe dispensing printing methods and will characterize device performance using four-point probe resistivity measurements, contact angle measurements to assess wettability, adhesion evaluation to various substrates, and focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy for surface and density investigations of printed devices.

Magnetism and spin-dependent transport phenomena across Verwey and Morin transitions in iron oxide/Pt bilayers

Understanding the influence of phase coexistence and phase transitions on spin transport properties in a ferromagnet/heavy metal (FM/HM) system is of utmost importance for spintronics. Here, we report a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic and spin transport properties of biphase iron oxide (BPIO = α-Fe 2 O 3 +Fe 3 O 4 )/Pt films over a wide temperature range, 10K ≤ T ≤ 300K. In-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) magnetometry and radio frequency transverse susceptibility measurements confirm the characteristic features of the Verwey and Morin transitions at T V ~ 120K and TM ~ 200 K, respectively. Further, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) is observed in the BPIO film, which arises mainly from the spin polarized tunneling of conduction electrons between neighboring uniformly magnetized grains through the resistive grain boundary. Spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and spin Hall anomalous Hall effect (SH-AHE) are detected in the BPIO/Pt films. Around the T V , the temperature evolution of SMR shows a sharp maximum, while SH-AHE exhibits a steep decrease. Both SMR and SH-AHE are strongly susceptible to the Verwey transition but the Morin transition, indicating that the interfacial magnetism of our BPIO/Pt film is dominated by the Fe 3 O 4 phase rather than the α-Fe 2 O 3 phase.

Dynamics and observational signatures of core-collapse supernovae with central engines: hydrodynamics simulations with Monte Carlo post-processing

A long-lived central engine embedded in expanding supernova ejecta can alter the dynamics and observational signatures of the event, producing an unusually luminous, energetic, and/or rapidly evolving transient. We use 2D hydrodynamics simulations to study the effect of a central energy source, varying the amount, rate, and isotropy of the energy deposition. We post-process the results with a time-dependent Monte Carlo radiation transport code to extract observational signatures. The engine excavates a bubble at the centre of the ejecta, which becomes Rayleigh–Taylor unstable. Sufficiently powerful engines are able to break through the edge of the bubble and accelerate, shred, and compositionally mix the entire ejecta. The breakout of the engine-driven wind occurs at distinct rupture points, and the outflowing high-velocity gas may eventually give rise to radio emission. The dynamical impact of the engine leads to faster rising optical light curves, with photon escape facilitated by the faster expansion of the ejecta and the opening of low-density channels. For models with strong engines, the spectra are initially hot and featureless, but later evolve to resemble those of broad-line Ic supernovae. Under certain conditions, line emission from ionized, low-velocity material near the centre of the ejecta may be able to escape and produce narrow emission similar to that seen in interacting supernovae. We discuss how variability in the engine energy reservoir and injection rate could give rise to a heterogeneous set of events spanning multiple observational classes, including the fast blue optical transients, broad-line Ic supernovae, and superluminous supernovae.

Particle Beam Acceleration Using 3 Petawatt Laser Pulses

The Zettawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System (ZEUS) is presently operational at the Gerard Mourou Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan. ZEUS is a significant upgrade of the previous high power laser systems at CUOS and consists of two beamlines thatoperate in perfect synchronization. The 500 TW beamline became operational in 2023, 2 PW operation started in 2025 and full 3 PW power levels will be available in 2026. It is presently the highest power laser system in the US. In this grant the high field science group at CUOS has leveraged this unique high power laser facility to investigate laser wake field acceleration (LWFA) in ultra-high power laser plasma interactions and have shown how this can scale for future electron–positron colliders at high energy. The dual beam experimental configuration enables flexibility for many frontier experiments in laser-driven acceleration research, in particular, enabling extended channelling/acceleration experiments, positron generation/acceleration experiments and proof-of-principle transverse pumping “dephasingless” electron acceleration experiment and theory. LWFA may be able to miniaturize particle accelerators for high energy physics and also enable new sources of ultrafast, extreme brightness and precise x-rays for a wide variety of applications. In laser wake field acceleration, an electron bunch “surfs” on the electron plasma wave (the “wake field”) generated by the ponderomotive force of an intense laser. The plasma wave has a strong longitudinal electric field that stays in phase with the relativistic driver. A relativistic charged particle may, therefore, remain in phase with the accelerating field over long distances and gain ultra-relativistic energies. The accelerating electric field strength that the plasma wave can support can be many orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional accelerators, which makes laser wakefield acceleration an exciting prospect as an advanced accelerator concept. In this research project we have investigated the scaling of this mechanism to laser powers of 2 PW and have measured the x-ray emission and radio frequency emission resulting from the acceleration process. We have also performed theoretical investigation of mechanisms to scale laser driven accelerators to much higher energy using dephasingless acceleration processes.

An updated nuclear-physics and multi-messenger astrophysics framework for binary neutron star mergers

The multi-messenger detection of the gravitational-wave signal GW170817, the corresponding kilonova AT2017gfo and the short gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, as well as the observed afterglow has delivered a scientific breakthrough. For an accurate interpretation of all these different messengers, one requires robust theoretical models that describe the emitted gravitational-wave, the electromagnetic emission, and dense matter reliably. In addition, one needs efficient and accurate computational tools to ensure a correct cross-correlation between the models and the observational data. For this purpose, we have developed the Nuclear-physics and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics framework NMMA. The code allows incorporation of nuclear-physics constraints at low densities as well as X-ray and radio observations of isolated neutron stars. In previous works, the NMMA code has allowed us to constrain the equation of state of supranuclear dense matter, to measure the Hubble constant, and to compare dense-matter physics probed in neutron-star mergers and in heavy-ion collisions, and to classify electromagnetic observations and perform model selection. Here, we show an extension of the NMMA code as a first attempt of analyzing the gravitational-wave signal, the kilonova, and the gamma-ray burst afterglow simultaneously. Incorporating all available information, we estimate the radius of a 1.4M ⊙ neutron star to be $R$ $=$ $11.98^{+0.35}_{-0.04}$ km.

Molecular beam homoepitaxy of N-polar AlN: Enabling role of aluminum-assisted surface cleaning

N-polar aluminum nitride (AlN) is an important building block for next-generation high-power radio frequency electronics. We report successful homoepitaxial growth of N-polar AlN by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on large-area, cost-effective N-polar AlN templates. Direct growth without any in situ surface cleaning leads to films with inverted Al polarity. It is found that Al-assisted cleaning before growth enables the epitaxial film to maintain N-polarity. The grown N-polar AlN epilayer with its smooth, pit-free surface duplicates the structural quality of the substrate, as evidenced by a clean and smooth growth interface with no noticeable extended defects generation. Near band-edge photoluminescence peaks are observed at room temperature on samples with MBE-grown layers but not on the bare AlN templates, implying the suppression of nonradiative recombination centers in the epitaxial N-polar AlN.

The Dynamics of Ions on Phased Radio-frequency Carpets in High Pressure Gases and Application for Barium Tagging in Xenon Gas Time Projection Chambers

Radio-frequency (RF) carpets with ultra-fine pitches are examined for ion transport in gases at atmospheric pressures and above. We develop new analytic and computational methods for modeling RF ion transport at densities where dynamics are strongly influenced by buffer gas collisions. An analytic description of levitating and sweeping forces from phased arrays is obtained, then thermodynamic and kinetic principles are used to calculate ion loss rates in the presence of collisions. This methodology is validated against detailed microscopic SIMION simulations. We then explore a parameter space of special interest for neutrinoless double beta decay experiments: transport of barium ions in xenon at pressures from 1 to 10 bar. Our computations account for molecular ion formation and pressure dependent mobility as well as finite temperature effects. We discuss the challenges associated with achieving suitable operating conditions, which lie beyond the capabilities of existing devices, using presently available or near-future manufacturing techniques.

Where old meets new: An ecosystem study of methanogenesis in a reflooded agricultural peatland

Reflooding formerly drained peatlands has been proposed as a means to reduce losses of organic matter and sequester soil carbon for climate change mitigation, but a renewal of high methane emissions has been reported for these ecosystems, offsetting mitigation potential. Our ability to interpret observed methane fluxes in reflooded peatlands and make predictions about future flux trends is limited due to a lack of detailed studies of methanogenic processes. In this study we investigate methanogenesis in a reflooded agricultural peatland in the Sacramento Delta, California. Furthermore, we use the stable-and radio-carbon isotopic signatures of wetland sediment methane, ecosystem-scale eddy covariance flux observations, and laboratory incubation experiments, to identify which carbon sources and methanogenic production pathways fuel methanogenesis and how these processes are affected by vegetation and seasonality. We found that the old peat contribution to annual methane emissions was large (~30%) compared to intact wetlands, indicating a biogeochemical legacy of drainage. However, fresh carbon and the acetoclastic pathway still accounted for the majority of methanogenesis throughout the year. Although temperature sensitivities for bulk peat methanogenesis were similar between open-water (Q 10 = 2.1) and vegetated (Q 10 = 2.3) soils, methane production from both fresh and old carbon sources showed pronounced seasonality in vegetated zones. We conclude that high methane emissions in restored wetlands constitute a biogeochemical trade-off with contemporary carbon uptake, given that methane efflux is fueled primarily by fresh carbon inputs.

Shot‐Noise‐Driven Macroscopic Vibrations and Displacement Transduction in Quantum Tunnel Junctions

Back‐action is an inevitable result of quantum measurement. Although the microscopic impacts of shot‐noise back‐action have been explored, macroscopic evidence is seldom documented, especially in the field of electrical transport. Tunneling shot‐noise has been shown to excite the fundamental flexural mode of the host crystal using a sub‐GHz lumped‐element radio‐frequency quantum point contact (QPC). Here, in this study, this aspect of shot‐noise back‐action is examined at much higher operational frequencies and wider bandwidths by employing a GaAs QPC integrated into a planar superconducting cavity within the circuit‐QED framework, leading to the observation of the excitation of multiple mechanical modes. The device operates in the shot‐noise‐limited regime. Constructed on a piezoelectric platform, there is positive feedback between the electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom within the QPC. Shot‐noise excites piezoelectric vibrational modes; concurrently the resulting polarization charges enhance tunneling and develop peaks in the shot‐noise spectra at the modal frequencies. The excitation of vibrational modes is a macroscopic demonstration of measurement back‐action, and the amplitudes of the noise‐peaks enable us to calibrate the displacement sensitivity of the QPC‐resonator systems, which is in the range $≈ 35 fm/√ Hz$, making it an excellent sensor for ultra‐sensitive and rapid strain/displacement detection.

Magnetron sputter deposition of boron carbide in Ne and Ar plasmas

Conventional magnetron sputter deposition of B 4 C uses Ar as the working gas. In this report we explore the magnetron sputter deposition of B 4 C with a Ne plasma, which is expected to exhibit larger sputtering yields than Ar. We study properties of films deposited with different substrate tilt angles with the magnetron source operated in either direct-current (DC) or radio-frequency (RF) mode in an Ar or Ne plasma. Results show that the B 4 C film properties are determined by a combination of sputtering ballistics and effects of the working gas on the plasma discharge and gas phase scattering of depositing species flux. At constant discharge power, deposition rates for Ar and Ne plasmas are similar, which is attributed to balancing effects of a higher ballistic sputtering yield of Ne and lower ion flux to the target. Both depositing B and C neutral species and bombarding ions have higher energies for the case of Ne plasmas. Films deposited with the RF-driven Ne plasma exhibit a uniform non-columnar structure, lowest oxygen impurity content, and highest mass density and mechanical properties at a cost of Ne incorporation and larger compressive residual stress.

The United States Department of Energy and National Institutes of Health Collaboration: Medical Care Advances via Discovery in Physical Sciences

Over several months, representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science and National Institutes of Health (NIH) had a number of meetings that lead to the conclusion that innovations in the Nation's health care could be realized by more directed interactions between NIH and DOE. It became clear that the expertise amassed and instrumentation advances developed at the DOE physical science laboratories to enable cutting-edge research in particle physics could also feed innovation in medical healthcare. To meet their scientific mission, the DOE laboratories created advances in such technologies as particle beam generation, radioisotope production, high-energy particle detection and imaging, superconducting particle accelerators, superconducting magnets, cryogenics, high-speed electronics, artificial intelligence, and big data. To move forward, NIH and DOE initiated the process of convening a joint work- shop which occurred on July 12th and 13th, 2021. Here, this Special Report presents a summary of the findings of the collaborative workshop and introduces the goals of the next one.

Orientation-dependent structural properties during growth and growth mechanism of CoO films

The orientation-dependent local structural properties of CoO films on sapphire substrates during growth were investigated through linearly-polarized extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements. Specifically, CoO(1 1 1) and (100) crystals with a rock-salt structure (Fm3m) were epitaxially grown on alpha-Al2O3(0001) and (1012) substrates, respectively, at 700 degrees C using a radio-frequency sputtering system. The local structural properties of CoO films in the in-plane and out-of-plane orientations were quantitatively determined using linearly-polarized EXAFS at the Co K-edge during growth. The EXAFS analysis revealed that during the initial stages of growth, the local structural properties exhibit significant differences compared to thick films, with short atomic distances and large (small) Debye-Waller factors observed in the out-of-plane (in-plane) orientations. The local structural strain mostly diminished when approximately 20 CoO layers accumulated on the substrate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further supported these findings by confirming that cobalt atoms initially form stable bonds with the sapphire surface, leading to the simultaneous growth of oxygen and cobalt layers in a coordinated manner through layer-by-layer growth.

Walking on the dark side: Anthropogenic factors limit suitable habitat for gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) in a large natural area covering Belarus and Ukraine

Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is recolonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but are often constrained to remote and inaccessible places due to centuries of persecution. This study aimed to identify the potentially suitable wolf habitats in Polesia, a massive cross-border lowland region extending over southern Belarus and northern Ukraine, which are often neglected in large carnivore studies at the continental scale. We hypothesized that anthropogenic rather than environmental factors govern wolf habitat suitability. We used a dataset of 4191 GPS locations obtained from radio-collared wolves (n = 26) and confirmed observations (n = 231) during 2014–2021 and applied maximum entropy method to estimate relative habitat suitability for wolves in Polesia. Artificial light at night (ALAN), proportion of cropland and tree cover were the most important factors affecting wolf habitat suitability. Road densities contributed poorly to predicting habitat suitability for wolves. Our models predicted a quarter of Polesia as suitable habitat and revealed priority areas connecting the important source populations in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in the east and the Bialowieza Forest in the west and thus essential for long-term wolf conservation. Our results provide the bases for effective, long-term wolf monitoring and management programs in both Belarus and Ukraine. However, national and transboundary wolf management in Polesia has been extremely challenging since 2022 due to the ongoing war and subsequent habitat degradation in this part of Europe.

Extending deterministic transport capabilities for very-high and ultra-high energy electron beams

Focused Very-High Energy Electron (VHEE, 50–300 MeV) and Ultra-High Energy Electron (UHEE, > 300 MeV) beams can accurately target both large and deeply seated human tumors with high sparing properties, while avoiding the spatial requirements and cost of proton and heavy ion facilities. Advanced testing phases are underway at the CLEAR facilities at CERN (Switzerland), NLCTA at Stanford (USA), and SPARC at INFN (Italy), aiming to accelerate the transition to clinical application. Currently, Monte Carlo (MC) transport is the sole paradigm supporting preclinical trials and imminent clinical deployment. In this paper, we propose an alternative: the first extension of the nuclear-reactor deterministic chain Njoy-Dragon for VHEE and UHEE applications. We have extended the Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck (BFP) multigroup formalism and validated it using standard radio-oncology benchmarks, complex assemblies with a wide range of atomic numbers, and comprehensive irradiation of the entire periodic table. We report that 99% of water voxels exhibit a BFP-MC deviation below 2% for electron energies under 1.5 GeV. Additionally, we demonstrate that at least 97% of voxels of bone, lung, adipose tissue, muscle, soft tissue, tumor, steel, and aluminum meet the same criterion between 50 MeV and 1.5 GeV. For water, the thorax, and the breast intra-operative benchmark, typical average BFP-MC deviations of 0.3% and 0.4% were observed at 300 MeV and 1 GeV, respectively. By irradiating the entire periodic table, we observed similar performance between lithium (Z = 3) and cerium (Z = 58). Deficiencies observed between praseodymium (Z = 59) and einsteinium (Z = 99) have been reported, analyzed, and quantified, offering critical insights for the ongoing development of the Evaluated Nuclear Data File mode in NJOY.

Deepest sensitivity to wavelike dark photon dark matter with superconducting radio frequency cavities

Wavelike, bosonic dark matter candidates like axions and dark photons can be detected using microwave cavities known as haloscopes. Traditionally, haloscopes consist of tunable copper cavities operating in the TM 010 mode, but ohmic losses have limited their performance. In contrast, superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities can achieve quality factors of ∼ 10 10 , perhaps 5 orders of magnitude better than copper cavities, leading to more sensitive dark matter detectors. In this paper, we first derive that the scan rate of a haloscope experiment is proportional to the loaded quality factor Q L , even if the cavity bandwidth is much narrower than the dark matter halo line shape. We then present a proof-of-concept search for dark photon dark matter using a nontunable ultrahigh-quality SRF cavity. We exclude dark photon dark matter with kinetic mixing strengths of χ > 1.5 × 10 − 16 for a dark photon mass of m A ′ = 5.35 μ eV , achieving the deepest exclusion to wavelike dark photons by almost an order of magnitude.

A high-resolution planetary boundary layer height seasonal climatology from GNSS radio occultations

We present a new seasonal planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) climatology product derived from 14 years of Global Navigation Satellite System radio occultation (GNSS-RO) data from multiple missions including COSMIC, TerraSAR-X, KOMPSAT-5, and PAZ. PBLH estimates are derived from the minimum gradients of retrieved refractivity profiles, with a vertical resolution of ~200 m. The climatology is obtained from occultations observed between June 2006 and December 2019, and is divided into land and ocean regimes on a 2-degree grid. We provide seasonal climatologies at 2-degree resolution as well as climatologies of diurnal cycle amplitude and phase at 5-degree resolution. The new GNSS PBLH climatology is compared to radiosonde data from the ship-based Marine ARM GPCI Investigation of Clouds (MAGIC) campaign in the subtropical northeast Pacific ocean and to previous GNSS PBLH climatology estimates. The higher spatial resolution reveals new details such as seasonal PBLH modulation due to sea ice off the coast of Antarctica. The PBLH product is the first publicly available at 2-degree resolution.
