A Finite Element Method for Compressible and Turbulent Multiphase Flow Instabilities with Heat Transfer

We present a new finite element framework for modeling compressible, turbulent multiphase flows with heat transfer. For two-fluid systems with a free surface, the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is implemented without the need for interface reconstruction, while turbulence is resolved using a dynamic Vreman large eddy simulation (LES) model. Unlike most two-phase VOF studies, which neglect heat transfer, the present approach incorporates energy transport equations within the VOF formulation to account for heat exchange, an effect particularly important in turbulent flows. Conjugate heat transfer is often challenging in finite volume methods, which require explicit specification of heat fluxes at the solid–fluid interface, limiting accuracy and predictive capability. By contrast, the finite element formulation does not require heat flux inputs, allowing more accurate and robust simulation of heat transfer between solids and fluids. The method is demonstrated through three representative cases. First, a two-fluid instability with a single-mode perturbation is simulated and validated against analytical growth rates. Second, conjugate heat transfer is examined in a high-temperature flow over a cold metal cylinder, with validation performed both quantitatively—via pressure coefficient comparisons with experimental data—and qualitatively using vector field topology. Finally, compressible spray injection and breakup are modeled, demonstrating the ability of the framework to capture interfacial dynamics and atomization under turbulent, high-speed conditions. In the compressible spray injection and breakup case, the results indicate that the finite element formulation achieved higher predictive accuracy and robustness than the finite-volume method. With the same mesh resolution, the FEM reduced the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) from 6.96 mm and 26.0% (for the FVM) to 4.85 mm and 12.7%, respectively, demonstrating improved accuracy and robustness in capturing interfacial dynamics and heat transfer. The study also introduced vector field topology to visualize and interpret coherent flow structures and instabilities, offering insights beyond conventional scalar-field analyses.

High resolution microstructural, chemical studies and localized burnup analysis in an irradiated U–10Zr metallic fuel

This study involves high resolution characterization of a sodium bonded solid uranium (U)-10 wt% zirconium (Zr) metallic fuel irradiated in Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The fuel centerline temperature during irradiation was estimated to be around 675 °C with the peak burnup 13.1 atomic percent. Samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT) were prepared from different regions/zones in the fuel cross section radially to elucidate the microstructural changes and chemical redistribution of solute elements as well as fission products during irradiation experiment. TEM results indicate the irradiation in fast flux testing leads to the formation of extensive Zr-rich precipitates with varying sizes in the U–Zr fuel matrix. APT analysis performed to investigate redistribution of Zr, U and fission products along the radial direction of fuel pin showed Zr-rich precipitates entrapping the fission products in higher concentration as compared to the α-U phases. Here, the local burnup ( 235 U depletion) is found to be consistent, calculated by quantification of 235 U, 236 U and 238 U isotopes from mass spectrum obtained from APT along the radial direction. Zr-rich precipitation and its implication on fuel constitutional redistribution are discussed based on SEM, TEM and APT results.

Molecular Dynamical and Quantum Mechanical Exploration of the Site-Specific Dynamics of Cy3 Dimers Internally Linked to dsDNA

Performing spectroscopic measurements on biomolecules labeled with fluorescent probes is a powerful approach to locating the molecular behavior and dynamics of large systems at specific sites within their local environments. The indocarbocyanine dye Cy3 has emerged as one of the most commonly used chromophores. The incorporation of Cy3 dimers into DNA enhances experimental resolution owing to the spectral characteristics influenced by the geometric orientation of excitonically coupled monomeric units. Various theoretical models and simulations have been utilized to aid in the interpretation of the experimental spectra. In this study, we employ all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to study the structural dynamics of Cy3 dimers internally linked to the dsDNA backbone. We used quantum mechanical calculations to derive insights from both the linear absorption spectra and the circular dichroism data. Furthermore, we explore potential limitations within a commonly used force field for cyanine dyes. The molecular dynamics simulations suggest the presence of four possible Cy3 dimeric populations. The spectral simulations on the four populations show one of them to agree better with the experimental signatures, suggesting it to be the dominant population. Furthermore, the relative orientation of Cy3 in this population compares very well with previous predictions from the Holstein–Frenkel Hamiltonian model.

MHONGOOSE: A MeerKAT nearby galaxy H I survey

The MHONGOOSE (MeerKAT H IObservations of Nearby Galactic Objects: Observing Southern Emitters) survey maps the distribution and kinematics of the neutral atomic hydrogen (H I) gas in and around 30 nearby star-forming spiral and dwarf galaxies to extremely low H Icolumn densities. The H Icolumn density sensitivity (3σover 16 km s −1 ) ranges from ∼5 × 10 17 cm −2 at 90″ resolution to ∼4 × 10 19 cm −2 at the highest resolution of 7″. The H Imass sensitivity (3σover 50 km s −1 ) is ∼5.5 × 10 5 M ⊙ at a distance of 10 Mpc (the median distance of the sample galaxies). The velocity resolution of the data is 1.4 km s −1 . One of the main science goals of the survey is the detection of cold accreting gas in the outskirts of the sample galaxies. The sample was selected to cover a range in H Imasses from 10 7 M ⊙ to almost 10 11 M ⊙ in order to optimally sample possible accretion scenarios and environments. The distance to the sample galaxies ranges from 3 to 23 Mpc. In this paper, we present the sample selection, survey design, and observation and reduction procedures. We compared the integrated H Ifluxes based on the MeerKAT data with those derived from single-dish measurement and find good agreement, indicating that our MeerKAT observations are recovering all flux. We present H Imoment maps of the entire sample based on the first ten percent of the survey data, and find that a comparison of the zeroth- and second-moment values shows a clear separation in the physical properties of the H Ibetween areas with star formation and areas without related to the formation of a cold neutral medium. Finally, we give an overview of the H I-detected companion and satellite galaxies in the 30 fields, five of which have not previously been cataloged. We find a clear relation between the number of companion galaxies and the mass of the main target galaxy.

Variations in GARS powder microstructure as a function of powder chemistry and particle size

The properties of metal produced through powder metallurgy depends on the feedstock used. Powders produced via gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS) are used to produce oxide dispersion strengthened alloys. The desired powder size range can vary for each consolidation technique. However, powder microstructure also can vary with powder particle size, which in turn can impact the microstructure and properties of the consolidated parts. In this study, GARS powders are characterized via inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, inert gas fusion, and high-resolution x-ray diffraction to determine variations in elemental and phase compositions. Transmission electron microscopy was used to understand microstructure variations as a function of chemistry and size. Across the three batches tested intermetallic content was 0.73–1.35 wt% in the 0-20 μm powder batch and increased to 2.46–3.80 wt% in the coarse 45-106 μm batch. Across all batches, volume percent of surface oxidation decreased with powder diameter, with volume percents within the range of 0.75–1.2 % across 10 μm powder particles, and below 0.4 % across coarse powder particles approximately 100 μm in diameter. These observations were supported by inert gas fusion measurements. However, the oxide layer was thicker in coarse powder particles due to a slower cooling rate. Increasing oxygen content in atomization gas to 2000 ppm and adding yttrium increased both the surface oxidation content and yttrium intermetallic content. Lastly, intermetallic phases within the powder coarsened with powder size. Intermetallic morphology changed from fine spherical intermetallic and columnar dendritic growth to a cellular structure with finer spherical intermetallic, to coarse irregular intermetallic and intermetallic along grain boundaries as a result of slower cooling rate and solidification rate in coarse powder particles. Furthermore, the addition of zirconium does not appear to significantly change intermetallic morphology, but the composition changed from a Y-Fe rich intermetallic to a Y-Zr-Fe intermetallic.

Unveiling the nanoscale architectures and dynamics of protein assembly with in situ atomic force microscopy

Proteins play a vital role in different biological processes by forming complexes through precise folding with exclusive inter- and intra-molecular interactions. Understanding the structural and regulatory mechanisms underlying protein complex formation provides insights into biophysical processes. Furthermore, the principle of protein assembly gives guidelines for new biomimetic materials with potential applications in medicine, energy, and nanotechnology. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for investigating protein assembly and interactions across spatial scales (single molecules to cells) and temporal scales (milliseconds to days). It has significantly contributed to understanding nanoscale architectures, inter- and intra-molecular interactions, and regulatory elements that determine protein structures, assemblies, and functions. This review describes recent advancements in elucidating protein assemblies with in situ AFM. We discuss the structures, diffusions, interactions, and assembly dynamics of proteins captured by conventional and high-speed AFM in near-native environments and recent AFM developments in the multimodal high-resolution imaging, bimodal imaging, live cell imaging, and machine-learning-enhanced data analysis. These approaches show the significance of broadening the horizons of AFM and enable unprecedented explorations of protein assembly for biomaterial design and biomedical research.

Determining the Conformation of Supported Complexes Using an 17 O TEDOR-like NMR Experiment

Dynamic nuclear polarization surface-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has enabled the determination of the three-dimensional configuration of surface sites, in particular supported metal complexes of relevance to single-site heterogeneous catalysis. These approaches have chiefly leveraged the application of NMR double-resonance experiments that either reveal the complex conformation via point-to-point intramolecular distances between spin-labeled atoms or the complex-surface orientation via distances between the spins and the surface plane. Either method typically requires expensive isotope labeling and each reports on different structural features. The application of an experiment that simultaneously reveals both types of distances with chemical resolution would be ideal. Here, in this article, we describe an 17 O{ 1 H} pseudo-3D correlation experiment that achieves this goal. Specifically, Si–O–Si and Si–O–M oxygens are well-resolved by 17 O NMR; therefore, distances can be simultaneously measured radially, between Si– 17 O–M and the 1 H’s of the ligands, and vertically to the Si– 17 O–Si linkages of the silica support. We demonstrate the experiment using supported yttrium and zirconium complexes. Good agreement is obtained when comparing the experimental results to theoretical predictions from density functional theory calculations, highlighting the reliability of this relatively simple experiment.

In situ electron microscopy: atomic-scale dynamics of metal oxidation and corrosion

Corrosion degrades metals through complex microscopic processes that traditional methods often fail to capture. In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) bridges this gap by providing real-time atomic-scale imaging of oxidation and corrosion dynamics. Gas-phase TEM uncovers critical oxidation mechanisms like oxide nucleation and alloying effects, while liquid-phase TEM tracks corrosion initiation. Coupled with emerging techniques like ultrafast direct electron detection cameras, these advancements promise unprecedented resolution in understanding material degradation.

Revealing subterahertz atomic vibrations in quantum paraelectrics by surface-sensitive spintronic terahertz spectroscopy

Understanding surface collective dynamics in quantum materials is crucial for advancing quantum technologies. For example, surface phonon modes in quantum paraelectrics are thought to be essential in facilitating interfacial superconductivity. However, detecting these modes, especially below 1 terahertz, is challenging because of limited sampling volumes and the need for high spectroscopic resolution. Here, we report surface soft transverse optical (TO1) phonon dynamics in KTaO 3 and SrTiO 3 by surface-sensitive spintronic terahertz spectroscopy that can sense the collective modes only a few nanometers deep from the surface. In KTaO 3 , the TO1 mode softens and sharpens with decreasing temperature, leveling off at 0.7 terahertz. In contrast, this mode in SrTiO 3 broadens substantially below the quantum paraelectric crossover and coincides with the hardening of a sub–milli–electron volt phonon mode related to the antiferrodistortive transition. These observations that deviate from their bulk properties may have implications for interfacial superconductivity and ferroelectricity. The developed technique opens opportunities for sensing low-energy surface collective excitations.

Two-electron interference in two-photon attosecond double ionization of neon

The pump-probe experiments enabled by x-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) will allow us to directly observe correlated electronic motion with attosecond time resolution by detecting photoelectron pairs in coincidence. In helium, the transition between the nonsequential and sequential regime in two-photon double ionization (TPDI) is well explained by a virtual-sequential model. Much less is known, however, about the TPDI process in more complex atoms. Recently, we extended the virtual-sequential model to arbitrary light pulses [Chattopadhyay Phys. Rev. A 108, 013114 (2023)]. This extension employs multichannel scattering states for the single ionization of both the neutral and the ionized target, which we initially applied to helium. In the present study, we show that our extended virtual-sequential model reproduces the qualitative features of the angularly integrated observables with available experimental results for neon, a considerably more complex target. We observe an intriguing feature of inverted two-particle interference in the joint-energy distribution of Ne compared to He. Finally, this phenomenon, attributable to the presence of a final doubly ionized state with triplet symmetry coupled to the two photoelectrons, should be observable with current experimental technologies.

Nucleation and growth of polar clusters with in-phase tilts into a long-range ferroelectric matrix in a sodium niobate based complex relaxor

In this study, we have investigated the temperature dependence of atomic ordering at multiple length scales in a lead-free sodium niobate-based relaxor, i.e., 0.75 NaNbO 3 -0.25 Ba 0.9⁢ Ca 0.1⁢ TiO 3 (NN-25BCT) via synchrotron x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and pair distribution function analysis. High-resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) measurements reveal a ferroelectric phase transition in the relaxor ferroelectric NN-25BCT below the Vogel-Fulcher freezing temperature (𝑇 VF ≈ 270 K). In addition, SXRD analysis demonstrates the competition between in-phase octahedral tilting and ferroelectric order at the long-range scale using mode crystallography. On the other hand, Raman spectroscopic analysis provides evidence of polar ordering for 𝑇 > 𝑇 VF (with tetragonal symmetry) persisting up to the Burns temperature (𝑇 B ). Furthermore, pair distribution function (PDF) analysis reveals the presence of a polar antiferrodistortive tetragonal phase with 𝑃⁢4⁢𝑏𝑚 space group at short ranges throughout the studied temperatures (i.e., 110 K ≤ 𝑇 ≤500 K), irrespective of nonpolar long-range ordering above 𝑇 VF . Therefore, our measurements provide direct evidence for the presence of polar ordering at short ranges and their gradual transformation into long-range polar ordering using an integrated multiscale structural analysis. In conclusion, as a result of a transition from relaxor to a ferroelectric phase in the vicinity of room temperature, NN-25BCT can be exploited for applications in pyroelectric detectors, electrocaloric devices, and multilayered ceramic capacitors.

Analysis of the impact of parallel magnetic fluctuations on linear gyrokinetic stability in NSTX-U and verification of gyro-fluid models

In this work, we use the CGYRO gyrokinetic code to analyze two L- and one H-mode discharges from the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) and NSTX-Upgrade (NSTX-U) selected due to their different mix of ion-scale driftwaves, ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode and trapped electron mode (TEM), and electromagnetic instabilities, kinetic ballooning mode (KBM), and micro-tearing mode (MTM) in the plasma core. It is found that the effect of parallel magnetic fluctuations is strongly destabilizing to the unstable KBMs compared to calculations with only perpendicular magnetic fluctuations. Two discharges have a mix of ITG/TEM and MTMs that are predicted to be dominant instability across the plasma radius. The parallel magnetic fluctuations are found to have little effect on the MTM stability but are destabilizing to ITG/TEM modes. To test the validity of the gyro-fluid linear stability codes TGLF and GFS at low aspect ratio, a database of linear growth rates has been created using the CGYRO gyrokinetic code. The database is comprised of various parameter scans around a standardized set of NSTX-U core parameters. It contains a group of electrostatic cases and an electromagnetic group that includes the effects of perpendicular and parallel magnetic fluctuations. Comparing the results from the GFS and TGLF models, we find that GFS exhibits the best agreement with the database of CGYRO linear growth rates. Comparing the model results for the electromagnetic scans shows that GFS captures the effects of parallel magnetic fluctuations accurately, while the TGLF model does not, as it lacks sufficient perpendicular energy resolution.

Iterative Reconstruction for Multimodal Neutron Tomography

Here, we describe a unified framework for model-based iterative 3-D reconstruction of multimodal neutron transmission, hydrogen-scatter, and induced-fission images from low resolution data recorded using 14.1-MeV neutrons and the associated-particle imaging (API) technique. The framework, which was developed to facilitate use in challenging field-deployment scenarios, is centered around physics-based system models and a total variation (TV) constrained implementation of the simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT). Modified to solve a statistically weighted least squares (WLS) problem, the SIRT algorithm is accelerated using ordered subsets and Nesterov’s momentum for which we derive a near-optimal value of the governing Lipschitz constant. The approach enables the reconstruction of images that are high resolution compared to the acquired data and is robust to both limited statistics and a limited number of projection angles. Moreover, the framework is fast enough to be practical. Example images are provided that demonstrate both the ability to perform fast-neutron imaging of high-atomic-number materials with low radiation dose and the benefit of multimodal neutron imaging to identify key materials.

Unveiling Structural Heterogeneity and Imbalance of Gold Decahedral Nanoparticles using Four-dimensional Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

Multi-twinned structures have been observed in technologically important crystal systems, for example diamond cubic and face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices, that include materials such as diamond, silicon, a wide range of noble metals, and their nanoscale counterparts. Beyond atomic building blocks, the special arrangements also occur in the self-assembly of nanoparticles (NP) and μm-sized colloidal particles and occupy parts of their phase diagrams. Spanning a wide range of length scales, the universality of the structures arises when the systems attempt to achieve multitwinned structures by overcoming geometric misfits during minimizing surface energies with entirely {111} or close-packing facets. While it is fundamental to understand how strain is sustained upon twinned structures and symmetry breaking, the knowledge will be paramount in practical aspects such as guiding and controlling the thin film growth, anisotropic NP growth, and self-assembly of NPs. Au decahedral (Dh) NP, as the most prevalent multi-twinned model system, fits five tetrahedral motifs into a circle by sharing an axis resulting in a geometric misfit angle of 7.35°, or a disclination with power of -7.35°. Postulating how Au FCC lattice adopts the misfit, theoretical models have been developed to address the underlying lattice symmetry and inhomogeneous strain distribution separately. Yet, experimental reports regarding the former have been limited due to the relatively large X-ray beam sizes that do not fit the sizes of NPs. On the other hand, though the latter has been widely adapted in the thermodynamics of small (<10 nm) multi-twinned nanoparticles, previous literature has shown that, at edge length of 17 nm, the theory’s is invalidated by shear strain that is observed in a defect-free Au Dh NP by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) imaging. Though the advancement of aberrationcorrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-STEM) imaging and ab initio calculation techniques brings new opportunities, along with challenges in complicated image analysis and limitation in particle size (usually below 10 nm), the gap between nanoscale and mesoscale has never been extended to gain insight from atomic system with straightforward interaction potentials.

Uncovering the linear boron environment in Na 3 BP 2 through solid-state 11 B NMR spectroscopy

Boron-based compounds exhibit a wide range of structural diversity, with potential applications spanning organic and inorganic chemistry. Herein, we focus on the characterization of the linear boron-phosphorus unit P═B═P in Na 3 BP 2 using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. High-resolution 11 B ssNMR spectra were recorded at two fields, and key parameters such as chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), quadrupolar coupling constants (C Q ), and electric field gradient (EFG) tensors were extracted. The 11 B NMR results revealed a distinct chemical environment for the two-coordinate boron atom, with a CSA span (Ω) of 280 ppm and a C Q of 3.0 MHz. These values were further validated through periodic plane-wave DFT calculations, which showed good agreement with experimental results. The obtained spectral parameters are compared to other linear boron units, such as the BO 2 motif, providing a broader context for understanding boron coordination in inorganic compounds. This work expands the body of NMR knowledge on boron-containing materials, particularly for linear boron motifs. The findings contribute to the growing field of boron chemistry and its potential applications in advanced materials.

Crystal structure of a seven-substitution mutant of hydroxynitrile lyase from rubber tree

The α/β-hydrolase fold superfamily includes esterases and hydroxynitrile lyases which, despite catalyzing different reactions, share a Ser–His–Asp catalytic triad. We report a 1.99 Å resolution crystal structure of HNL6V, an engineered variant of hydroxynitrile lyase fromHevea brasiliensis(HbHNL) containing seven amino-acid substitutions (T11G, E79H, C81L, H103V, N104A, G176S and K236M). The structure reveals that HNL6V maintains the characteristic α/β-hydrolase fold while exhibiting systematic shifts in backbone and catalytic atom positions. Compared with wild-typeHbHNL, the C α positions in HNL6V differ by a mean of 0.2 ± 0.1 Å, representing a statistically significant displacement. Importantly, the catalytic triad and oxyanion-hole atoms have moved 0.2–0.8 Å closer to their corresponding positions in SABP2, although they remain 0.3–1.1 Å from fully achieving the configuration of SABP2. The substitutions also increase local flexibility, particularly in the lid domain covering the active site. This structural characterization demonstrates that targeted amino-acid substitutions can systematically shift catalytic geometries towards those of evolutionarily related enzymes.

Development of a magnetic field monitoring system for the MAGIS-100 experiment

The MAGIS-100 collaboration is building a long-baseline atom interferometer designed to investigate dark matter, novel forces, gravitational waves, and quantum science. A major design challenge is external, time-varying magnetic fields, the effect of which can mimic gravitational waves or expected dark matter signals; static magnetic fields must also be tightly controlled to manage measurement resolution. Several tools are being applied to the problem, including mu-metal shielding, field biasing, and a suite of magnetometers. This report details the development of a magnetic field monitoring system to be built from commercially available parts and installed at seventeen locations, one for each of the modular sections making up the length of the MAGIS-100 apparatus.

Effect of pattern transfer process on roughness of block copolymer patterns from directed self-assembly

Block copolymer-directed self-assembly (DSA) remains promising for improving pattern quality and reducing the stochastic variations that challenge high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography. Equally critical is refining pattern transfer methods for accurately transferring the rectified DSA features to the underlying substrate. We compare two atomic layer deposition (ALD)-based techniques: sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) and dry liftoff, applied to polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) DSA patterns. Both methods utilize aluminum oxide hard masks, with one synthesized through infiltration into the PMMA domains and the other through conformal ALD coating. High-resolution scanning electron micrographs were analyzed to measure line edge, width, and placement roughness for both the line (PMMA) and space (PS) features. Although both methods yielded similar overall 3σ rms roughness, they differed significantly in the frequency-dependent power spectral density (PSD) profiles. SIS reduced line placement roughness at length scales associated with the polymer pitch, but increased space width roughness at low frequencies, whereas dry liftoff mimicked the frequency content of the original guiding pattern. This study underscores the importance of PSD evaluation in selecting optimal pattern transfer strategies for specific applications.
