Van der Waals Nanowires with Continuously Variable Interlayer Twist and Twist Homojunctions

Abstract Moiré patterns at van der Waals interfaces between twisted 2D crystals give rise to distinct optoelectronic excitations, as well as, narrowly dispersive bands responsible for correlated electron phenomena. Contrasting with the conventional, mechanically stacked planar twist moirés, recent work shows twisted van der Waals interfaces spontaneously formed in nanowires of layered crystals, where Eshelby twist due to axial screw dislocations stabilizes a chiral structure with small interlayer rotation. Here, the realization of tunable twist in germanium(II) sulfide (GeS) van der Waals nanowires is reported. Tapered nanowires host continuously variable interlayer twist. Homojunctions between dislocated (chiral) and defect‐free (achiral) segments are obtained by triggering the emission of axial dislocations during growth. Measurements across such junctions, implemented here using local absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, provide a convenient tool for detecting twist effects. The results identify a versatile system for 3D twistronics, probing moiré physics, and for realizing moiré architectures without equivalent in planar systems.

Aggregation of solutes in bosonic versus fermionic quantum fluids

Quantum fluid droplets made of helium-3 ( 3 He) or helium-4 ( 4 He) isotopes have long been considered as ideal cryogenic nanolabs, enabling unique ultracold chemistry and spectroscopy applications. The droplets were believed to provide a homogeneous environment in which dopant atoms and molecules could move and react almost as in free space but at temperatures close to absolute zero. Here, we report ultrafast x-ray diffraction experiments on xenon-doped 3 He and 4 He nanodroplets, demonstrating that the unavoidable rotational excitation of isolated droplets leads to highly anisotropic and inhomogeneous interactions between the host matrix and enclosed dopants. Superfluid 4 He droplets are laced with quantum vortices that trap the embedded particles, leading to the formation of filament-shaped clusters. In comparison, dopants in 3 He droplets gather in diffuse, ring-shaped structures along the equator. The shapes of droplets carrying filaments or rings are direct evidence that rotational excitation is the root cause for the inhomogeneous dopant distributions.

In Operando Angle‐Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy with Nanoscale Spatial Resolution: Spatial Mapping of the Electronic Structure of Twisted Bilayer Graphene

To pinpoint the electronic and structural mechanisms that affect intrinsic and extrinsic performance limits of 2D material devices, it is of critical importance to resolve the electronic properties on the mesoscopic length scale of such devices under operating conditions. Herein, angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution (nanoARPES) is used to map the quasiparticle electronic structure of a twisted bilayer graphene device. The dispersion and linewidth of the Dirac cones associated with top and bottom graphene layers are determined as a function of spatial position on the device under both static and operating conditions. The analysis reveals that microscopic rotational domains in the two graphene layers establish a range of twist angles from 9.8° to 12.7°. Application of current and electrostatic gating lead to strong electric fields with peak strengths of 0.75 V/μm at the rotational domain boundaries in the device. These proof‐of‐principle results demonstrate the potential of nanoARPES to link mesoscale structural variations with electronic states in operating device conditions and to disentangle such extrinsic factors from the intrinsic quasiparticle dispersion.

Full Rod Length Gamma Spectroscopy Measurements of LWR Used Fuel Rods

Twenty-five high-burnup pressurized water reactor used fuel rods were scanned in the Irradiated Fuels Examination Laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a high-resolution gamma spectrometer. A planar high-purity germanium detector was used across an energy range from 60 keV to 3 MeV. Gamma spectra of individual fuel rods were collected in 4.5 mm steps along the entire length of each rod. Additional spectra were collected on select rods in rotational increments of 30 degrees to provide data on the distribution of fission products along the rod perimeter.

Matrix-formation dynamics dictate methyl nitrite conformer abundance

Methyl nitrite has two stable conformational isomers resulting from rotation about the primary C–O–N–O dihedral angle: cis-CH 3 ONO and trans-CH 3 ONO, with cis being more stable by ∼5 kJ/mol. Here, the barrier to rotational interconversion (∼45 kJ/mol) is too large for isomerization to occur under ambient conditions. This paper presents evidence of a change in conformer abundance when dilute CH 3 ONO is deposited onto a cold substrate; the relative population of the freshly deposited cis conformer is seen to increase compared to its gas-phase abundance, measured by in situ infrared spectroscopy. We observe abundance changes depending on the identity of the bath gas (N 2 , Ar, and Xe) and deposition angle. The observations indicate that the surface properties of the growing matrix influence conformer abundance—contrary to the widely held assumption that conformer abundance in matrices reflects gas-phase abundance. We posit that differences in the angle-dependent host-gas deposition dynamics affect the growing surfaces, causing changes in conformer abundances. Quantum chemistry calculations of the binding energies between CH 3 ONO and a single bath-gas component reveal that significant energetic stabilization is not observed in 1:1 complexes of N 2 :CH 3 ONO, Ar:CH 3 ONO, or Xe:CH 3 ONO. From our results, we conclude that the growing surface plays a significant role in trapping cis-CH 3 ONO more effectively than trans-CH 3 ONO, likely because cis-CH 3 ONO is more compact. Taken together, the observations highlight the necessity for careful characterization of conformers in matrix-isolated systems, emphasizing a need for further study into the deposition dynamics and surface structure of chemically inert matrices.

Time-resolved CO 2 , CO, and N 2 vibrational population measurements in Ns pulse discharge plasmas

Abstract Time-resolved CO 2 and N 2 vibrational populations and translational-rotational temperature are measured in a CO 2 –N 2 plasma sustained by a ns pulse discharge burst in plane-to-plane geometry. Time-resolved, absolute number density of CO generated in the plasma is also inferred from the experimental data. CO 2 and CO vibrational populations are measured by mid-IR, tunable quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy, and N 2 vibrational populations are measured by the ns broadband vibrational CARS. Transient excitation of N 2 and CO 2 asymmetric stretch vibrational energy modes is detected during the discharge burst. The time-resolved rate of CO generation does not correlate with N 2 or CO 2 ( ν 3 ) vibrational temperatures, indicating that CO 2 dissociation via the vibrational excitation is insignificant at the present conditions. The rate of CO generation decreases gradually during the discharge burst. The estimated specific energy cost of the CO product is close to that of N atoms in pure nitrogen, measured previously at similar operating conditions. Comparison of the experimental data with the kinetic modeling analysis indicates that CO 2 dissociation in collisions with electronically excited N 2 molecules is the dominant channel of CO generation at the present conditions, although the inferred CO yield in these processes is significantly lower than 1. The effect of vibrational energy transfer between N 2 and CO 2 on the plasma chemical processes is insignificant. The kinetic model underpredicts a rapid reduction of the N 2 and CO 2 ( ν 3 ) vibrational temperatures during the later half of the discharge burst and in the afterglow. V–T relaxation of N 2 by N and O atoms generated in the ns pulse discharge plasma does not affect the vibrational relaxation rate in a significant way. However, rapid V–T relaxation of CO 2 by O atoms has a significant effect on the relaxation rate. The difference between the experimental data and the modeling predictions may be due to the unknown scaling of the CO 2 –O V–T rates with the vibrational quantum number.

Synergistic Effects of the Electric Field Induced by Imidazolium Rotation and Hydrogen Bonding in Electrocatalysis of CO 2

The roles of the ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([EMIM][BF₄]), and water in controlling the mechanism, energetics, and electrocatalytic activity of CO₂ reduction to CO on silver in non-aqueous electrolytes were investigated. The first electron transfer occurs to CO₂ at reduced overpotentials when it is trapped between the planes of [EMIM]⁺ ring and electrode surface due to cation re-orientation as determined from voltammetry, in-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Within this interface, water up to 0.5 M does not induce significant faradaic activity, opposing the notion of it as a free proton source. Instead, water acts as a hydrogen bond donor and the proton is sourced from [EMIM]⁺. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that alcohols with varying acidity tune the hydrogen bonding network in the interfacial microenvironment to lower the energetics required for CO₂ reduction. Here, the hydrogen bonding suppresses the formation of inactive carboxylate species, thus preserving the catalytic activity of [EMIM]⁺. The ability to tune the hydrogen bonding network opens new avenues for advancing IL-mediated electrocatalytic reactions in non-aqueous electrolytes.

Second-harmonic and linear spectroscopy of $\textit{α}$-In 2 Se 3

We report spectroscopic measurements of optical transmission, ellipsometry, and second-harmonic generation (SHG) from as-grown vapor-deposited $\textit{α}$-In 2 Se 3 nanoflakes ranging in thickness from a single quintuple layer (QL) to bulk material. In this work, we compare these measurements with ab initio calculations of structural and optical properties. Linear optical measurements yield thickness-dependent band gaps and dielectric functions, while SHG diagnoses microscopic film structure and ferroelectric polarization. The rotational anisotropy of SHG for s-polarized incident photons of energy 1.4 eV reveals crystalline symmetry and orientation of individual QLs. Peak SHG intensity increases from one to three QLs, then decreases for larger numbers, tracking thickness-dependent trends in the second-order susceptibility components $χ^{xxx}$ and $χ^{zxx}$. Comparison of measured and calculated SHG spectra for s-polarized photons of energies between 1.2 and 1.7 eV incident upon two QL samples discriminates among candidate stacking arrangements, and favors an arrangement with electric polarization vectors of the two QLs pointing outward in opposite directions.

Precise equilibrium structures of 1 H - and 2 H -1,2,3-triazoles (C 2 H 3 N 3 ) by millimeter-wave spectroscopy

The 1H- and 2H-1,2,3-triazoles are isomeric five-membered ring, aromatic heterocycles that may undergo chemical equilibration by virtue of intramolecular hydrogen migration (tautomerization). Using millimeter-wave spectroscopy in the 130–375 GHz frequency range, we measured the spectroscopic constants for thirteen 1H-1,2,3-triazole and sixteen 2H-1,2,3-triazole isotopologues. Herein, we provide highly accurate and highly precise semi-experimental equilibrium (r e SE ) structures for the two tautomers based on the spectroscopic constants of each set of isotopologues, together with vibration–rotation interaction and electron-mass distribution corrections calculated using coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples calculations [CCSD(T)/cc-pCVTZ]. The resultant structures are compared with a “best theoretical estimate” (BTE), which has recently been shown to be in exceptional agreement with the semi-experimental equilibrium structures of other aromatic molecules. Bond distances of the 1H tautomer are determined to <0.0008 Å and bond angles to <0.2°. For the 2H tautomer, bond angles are also determined to <0.2°, but bond distances are less precise (2σ ≤ 0.0015). Finally, agreement between BTE and r e SE values is discussed.

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME). III. A Two-planet System in the 400 Myr Ursa Major Group

Exoplanets can evolve significantly between birth and maturity, as their atmospheres, orbits, and structures are shaped by their environment. Young planets (<1 Gyr) offer an opportunity to probe the critical early stages of this evolution, where planets evolve the fastest. However, most of the known young planets orbit prohibitively faint stars. We present the discovery of two planets transiting HD 63433 (TOI 1726, TIC 130181866), a young Sun-like (M{sub ∗}=0.99±0.03) star. Through kinematics, lithium abundance, and rotation, we confirm that HD 63433 is a member of the Ursa Major moving group (τ = 414 ± 23 Myr). Based on the TESS light curve and updated stellar parameters, we estimate that the planet radii are 2.15 ± 0.10 R {sub ⊕} and 2.67 ± 0.12 R {sub ⊕}, the orbital periods are 7.11 and 20.55 days, and the orbital eccentricities are lower than about 0.2. Using High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher for the Northern hemisphere velocities, we measure the Rossiter–McLaughlin signal of the inner planet, demonstrating that the orbit is prograde. Since the host star is bright (V = 6.9), both planets are amenable to transmission spectroscopy, radial velocity measurements of their masses, and more precise determination of the stellar obliquity. This system is therefore poised to play an important role in our understanding of planetary system evolution in the first billion years after formation.

Development and experimental qualification of novel disruption prevention techniques on DIII-D

Novel disruption prevention solutions spanning a range of control regimes are being developed and tested on DIII-D to enable ITER success. First, a new real-time control algorithm has been developed and tested for regulating nearness to stability limits and maintaining safety-margins. Its first application has been for reliable prevention of vertical displacement events (VDEs) by adjusting plasma elongation (κ) and the inner-gap between the plasma and inner-wall in response to real- time open-loop VDE growth rate (γ) estimators. VDEs were robustly prevented up to average open-loop growth rates of 800 rad/s with initial tunings, with only applying shape modification when near safety limits. Second, the disruption risk during fast, emergency shutdown after large tearing and locked modes can be significantly improved by transitioning to a limited topology during shutdown. More than 50% of emergency limited shutdowns after locked modes reach a final normalized current I_N < 0.3 before terminating, scaling to the 3 MA ITER requirement. Furthermore, this is in contrast to diverted shutdowns, the majority of which disrupt at I_N > 0.8. Despite improvements, these results highlight the critical importance of early prevention. Third, a novel emergency shut down method has been developed which excites instabilities to form a warm, helical core post-thermal quench. The current quench extends to ~100ms and avoids VDEs and runaway electron generation. Novel real-time machine learning disruption prediction has been integrated with the DIII-D proximity controller, and a real- time compatible multi-mode MHD spectroscopy technique has been developed. Results presented here were enabled by a focused effort, the Disruption Free Protocol, in DIII-D’s 2019-20 campaign to complement disruption prevention experiments with a large piggy-back program. In addition to testing novel techniques, it is estimated to have helped avoid 32 potential disruptions in piggyback operations with rapid, early shutdowns after large rotating n=1 or locked modes.

Direct observation of two-dimensional magnons in atomically thin CrI 3

Magnons are collective spin excitations in crystals with long-range magnetic order. The emergent van der Waals magnets provide a highly tunable platform to explore magnetic excitations in the two-dimensional limit with intriguing properties, manifesting from their honeycomb lattice structure and switchable magnetic configurations. Here, we report the direct observation of two-dimensional magnons through magneto-Raman spectroscopy with optical selection rules determined by the interplay between crystal symmetry, layer number and magnetic states in atomically thin CrI 3 . In monolayers, we observe an acoustic magnon mode at ~0.3 meV. It has strict cross-circularly polarized selection rules locked to the magnetization direction that originates from the conservation of angular momentum of photons and magnons dictated by three-fold rotational symmetry. Additionally, we reveal optical magnon modes at ~17 meV. This mode is Raman silent in monolayers, but optically active in bilayers and bulk due to a relaxation of the parity criterion resulting from the layer index. In the layered antiferromagnetic states, we directly resolve two degenerate optical magnon modes with opposite angular momentum and conjugate optical selection rules. From these measurements, we quantitatively extract the spin-wave gap, magnetic anisotropy and intralayer and interlayer exchange constants, and establish two-dimensional magnets as a new platform for exploring magnon physics.

Discovering invariant spatial features in electron energy loss spectroscopy images on the mesoscopic and atomic levels

Over the last two decades, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) imaging with a scanning transmission electron microscope has emerged as a technique of choice for visualizing complex chemical, electronic, plasmonic, and phononic phenomena in complex materials and structures. The availability of the EELS data necessitates the development of methods to analyze multidimensional data sets with complex spatial and energy structures. Traditionally, the analysis of these data sets has been based on analysis of individual spectra, one at a time, whereas the spatial structure and correlations between individual spatial pixels containing the relevant information of the physics of underpinning processes have generally been ignored and analyzed only via the visualization as 2D maps. Here, we develop a machine learning-based approach and workflows for the analysis of spatial structures in 3D EELS data sets using a combination of dimensionality reduction and multichannel rotationally invariant variational autoencoders. This approach is illustrated for the analysis of both the plasmonic phenomena in a system of nanowires and in the core excitations in functional oxides using low loss and core-loss EELS, respectively. The code developed in this manuscript is open sourced and freely available and provided as a Jupyter notebook for the interested reader.

Nodal fermions in the strongly spin-orbit coupled pyrochlore-lattice compound RbBi2

We explore the topological electronic band structure of the pyrochlore lattice in the strong spin-orbit coupling regime. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, first-principles calculations, and symmetry analysis, we have investigated the bulk electronic structure of RbBi2, which has a Bi pyrochlore network. We observe the presence of 3D massless Dirac fermions enforced by nonsymmorphic symmetry, as well as a 3D quadratic band crossing protected by cubic crystalline symmetry. Furthermore, we identify an additional 3D linear Dirac dispersion associated with band inversion protected by threefold rotation symmetry. These observations reveal the rich band topology of itinerant pyrochlore lattice systems in the strong SOC limit and serve as a starting point to explore correlated topological phases in geometrically frustrated lattices.

Nanoscale inhomogeneity of charge density waves dynamics in La 2-x Sr x NiO 4

While stripe phases with broken rotational symmetry of charge density are known to emerge in doped strongly correlated perovskites, the dynamics and heterogeneity of spatial ordering remain elusive. Here we shed light on the temperature dependent lattice motion and the spatial nanoscale phase separation of charge density wave order in the archetypal striped phase in La 2-x Sr x NiO 4+y (LSNO) perovskite using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) joint with scanning micro X-ray diffraction (SµXRD). While it is known that the CDW in 1/8 doped cuprates shows a remarkable stability we report the CDW motion dynamics by XPCS in nickelates with an anomalous quantum glass regime at low temperature, T < 65 K, and the expected thermal melting at higher temperature 65 < T < 120 K. The nanoscale CDW puddles with a shorter correlation length are more mobile than CDW puddles with a longer correlation length. The direct imaging of nanoscale spatial inhomogeneity of CDW by scanning micro X-ray diffraction (SµXRD) shows a nanoscale landscape of percolating short range dynamic CDW puddles competing with large quasi-static CDW puddles giving rise to a novel form of nanoscale phase separation of the incommensurate stripes order landscape.

Fabrication of Tantalum and Hafnium Carbide Fibers via Forcespinning TM for Ultrahigh‐Temperature Applications

In this work, a novel method for producing ultrafine tantalum and hafnium carbide fibers using the Forcespinning TM technique via a nonhalide‐based sol‐gel process was investigated. An optimal solution viscosity range was systematically determined via rheological studies of neat PAN/DMF as a function of fiber formation. Subsequently, Forcespinning TM parameters were also systemically studied to determine the optimal rotational velocity and spinneret‐to‐collecting rod distance required for ideal fiber formation. TaC and HfC fibers were synthesized via Forcespinning TM utilizing a mixture of PAN and refractory transition metal alkoxides (i.e., tantalum (V) ethoxide and hafnium (IV) tert‐butoxide) in DMF solution based on optimal conditions determined from the neat PAN/DMF. In all instances after calcination, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicated that TaC and HfC fibers were produced. TGA/DSC confirmed the chemical stability of the resulting fibers.

Enantioselective C–H Amination Catalyzed by Nickel Iminyl Complexes Supported by Anionic Bisoxazoline (BOX) Ligands

The trityl-substituted bisoxazoline ( TrH BOX) was prepared as a chiral analogue to a previously reported nickel dipyrrin system capable of ring-closing amination catalysis. Ligand metalation with divalent NiI 2 (py) 4 followed by potassium graphite reduction afforded the monovalent (TrH BOX)Ni(py) (4). Slow addition of 1.4 equiv of a benzene solution of 1-adamantylazide to 4 generated the tetrazido ( TrH BOX)Ni(κ 2 -N 4 Ad 2 ) (5) and terminal iminyl adduct ( TrH BOX)Ni(NAd) (6). Investigation of 6 via single-crystal X-ray crystallography, NMR and EPR spectroscopies, and computations revealed a Ni(II)-iminyl radical formulation, similar to its dipyrrinato congener. Complex 4 exhibits enantioselective intramolecular C–H bond amination to afford N-heterocyclic products from 4-aryl-2-methyl-2-azidopentanes. Catalytic C–H amination occurs under mild conditions (5 mol % catalyst, 60 °C) and provides pyrrolidine products in decent yield (29%–87%) with moderate ee (up to 73%). Substrates with a 3,5-dialkyl substitution on the 4-aryl position maximized the observed enantioselectivity. Kinetic studies to probe the reaction mechanism were conducted using 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies. A small, intermolecular kinetic isotope effect (1.35 ± 0.03) suggests an H-atom abstraction step with an asymmetric transition state while the reaction rate is measured to be first order in catalyst and zeroth order in substrate concentrations. Enantiospecific deuterium labeling studies show that the enantioselectivity is dictated by both the H-atom abstraction and radical recombination steps due to the comparable rate between radical rotation and C–N bond formation. Furthermore, the competing elements of the two-step reaction where H-removal from the pro-R configuration is preferred while the preferential radical capture occurs with the Si face of the carboradical likely lead to the diminished ee observed, as corroborated by theoretical calculations. Furthermore, based on these enantio-determining steps, catalytic enantioselective synthesis of 2,5-bis-tertiary pyrrolidines is demonstrated with good yield (50–78%) and moderate ee (up to 79%).
