Microphysical properties of atmospheric soot and organic particles: measurements, modeling, and impacts

Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning modify Earth’s climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through modifications of cloud properties by acting as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles. Recent advancements in understanding their individual properties and microscopic composition have led to heightened interest in their microphysical properties. This review article provides an overview of current advanced microscopic measurements and offers insights into future avenues for studying microphysical properties of these particles. To quantify soot morphology and ageing, fractal dimension ( D f ) is a commonly employed quantitative metric which allows to characterize morphologies of soot aggregates and their modifications in relation to ageing factors like internal mixing state, core-shell structures, phase, and composition heterogeneity. Models have been developed to incorporate D f and mixing diversity metrics of aged soot particles, enabling quantitative assessment of their optical absorption and radiative forcing effects. The microphysical properties of soot and organic particles are complex and they are influenced by particle sources, ageing process, and meteorological conditions. Furthermore, soluble organic particles exhibit diverse forms and can engage in liquid–liquid phase separation with sulfate and nitrate components. Primary carbonaceous particles such as tar balls and soot warrant further attention due to their strong light absorbing properties, presence of toxic organic constituents, and small size, which can impact human health. Future research needs include both atmospheric measurements and modeling approaches, focusing on changes in the mixing structures of soot and organic particle ensembles, their effects on climate dynamics and human health.

Stability of aqueous neodymium complexes in carbonate-bearing solutions from 100–600 °C

Rare earth element exploration requires a quantitative understanding of factors governing their mobilization and economic concentration. However, the behavior of rare earth elements in carbonate- bearing hydrothermal fluids associated with carbonatite-hosted deposits is poorly understood, and conflicting mechanisms of rare earth transport by anionic ligands and alkali behavior have been described. Here, we report quantitative data to characterize the role of carbonate-bearing solutions in the hydrothermal mobilization of neodymium. Solubility studies of neodymium phosphate were performed at temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 °C in carbonate-bearing solutions. The thermodynamic data determined for the predominant complex were used to model the separation of neodymium from thorium in a simple flow-through system based on fluid and mineral compositions characteristic of carbonatite deposits. Our data suggest that neodymium transport is controlled by the stability of the carbonate species NdCO 3 OH o , and at temperatures of 500–600 °C, the concentrations of neodymium in solutions can reach ~1000 ppm.

Facet-dependent growth and dissolution of hematite resulting from autocatalytic interactions with Fe(II) and oxalic acid

The ability to simultaneously monitor the flux of iron atoms within the solution and solid phases can provide considerable insight into mechanisms of iron oxide mineral transformations. The autocatalytic interaction between hematite and Fe(II)-oxalate has long been of interest for its environmental and industrial relevance. In this study we take advantage of iron isotopic labelling and mass-sensitive imaging at the single particle scale to determine how changes in solution composition correlate with the morphologic evolution of faceted, micrometer-sized hematite platelets. Net dissolution is confirmed through analyses of aqueous iron chemistry, as well as by quantitative atomic force microscopy. Isotopic mapping techniques show that Fe(II) readily adsorbs to (001) and (012) surfaces in the absence of oxalate, but when oxalate is present selective dissolution of the (001) surface prevails and 57Fe deposition via recrystallization is not observed. Comparison between particle microtopographies following reaction with Fe(II), oxalate, and Fe(II)-oxalate show substantially different behavior, consistent with distinct mechanisms of interaction with hematite surfaces. The extensive characterization conducted on the coupled solution/solid dynamics in this system provides new insight for distinguishing crystal growth, dissolution, and recrystallization processes.

Rapid 235 U/ 238 U determination by matrix assisted ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Matrix-assisted ionization (MAI) of inorganic analytes is a nascent research domain that holds promise for rapid, potentially facility-deployable analytical applications. Here, we present results of MAI uranium isotopic analysis ( 235 U/ 238 U) obtained on the timescale of minutes utilizing simple sample preparation and an ambient ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ToF MS). Experimental MAI-ToF MS characterization of uranium Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) was used to establish method calibration and validate quantitative 235 U/ 238 U determination spanning depleted, natural, and low-enriched uranium isotopic compositions. Secondary standard analyses with total uranium mass loadings of 5–500 ng per analysis yield accurate calibrated 235 U/ 238 U results and relative uncertainties of 4.7–17.2% (approx. ±95% confidence level), with weighted-mean uncertainties approaching 1.5%. This method permits accurate determination of uranium isotopic composition in a sample with uranium content as low as 200 pg for equal atom 235 U: 238 U. Instrument detection limits constrain the minimum uranium mass required to identify the presence of highly enriched uranium (HEU ≥20% 235 U) as only 500 pg using the method presented here. MAI-ToF MS quantitation of relatively extreme isotope ratios ( 235 U/ 238 U ≤ 0.01) is limited by detection of minor 235 U (LoD 100 pg 235 U/analysis ≈ 10 ng total U/analysis), and subsequent method optimization is anticipated to further reduce these limits. These findings underscore the potential of MAI-ToF MS for isotopic characterization of uranium and other inorganic species for both basic and applied science.

Electrolytic gold plating, stripping, and ion transport dynamics through a solid-state iodide perovskite

The pronounced electrochemical reactivity between halide perovskites and metal electrodes can introduce mobile extrinsic metal ions which can cause device instability or enable novel functionalities. Here we systematically investigate the kinetics of gold cation (Au + ) migration in indium tin oxide (ITO)/methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI 3 )/Au model devices under long-term potentiostatic biasing. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) analyses reveal that Au + ions, electrochemically generated at the Au anode, traverse the perovskite layer with diffusion coefficients on the order of 10 −11 to 10 −10 cm 2 s −1 and are subsequently reduced at the cathode as Au 0 clusters, resembling metal plating behavior in electrolytic cells and solid-state batteries during charging. Furthermore, reversing the applied bias strips the plated Au 0 , revealing reversibility suitable for bipolar resistive switching devices and providing direct evidence of the electrochemical and ionic nature of Au transport within the perovskite matrix. Quantitatively determining diffusion coefficients and ion concentrations provides foundational inputs for future drift-diffusion modelling opportunities and allows us to relate our findings to implications on long term operation of devices like photovoltaic modules. These results clearly demonstrate the solid-state electrochemical nature of perovskite devices, highlight methods to be more quantitative about ion transport properties, provide and emphasize the importance of disentangling electro-, photo-, photoelectrochemical processes for understanding device performance and unlocking new functionalities.

Optimizing microfluidic flow cell geometry for in situ resonant soft X-ray characterization of molecular nanostructures

Liquid-phase resonant soft X-ray scattering (LP-RSoXS) is an emerging label-free technique to probe chemically resolved nanostructures of molecular or hybrid materials in liquid environments. Still, quantitative analysis is hindered by the pressure-induced deformation of thin silicon nitride (SiN) membranes used as windows in microfluidic flow cells, which attenuates the signal in nonlinear ways, making experimental optimization difficult. Here, in this work, we directly characterize this deformation under experimental conditions for a variety of cell configurations. We use this to develop a predictive model that combines transmission effects of SiN bowing, incident X-ray beam profiles, and material-dependent resonant scattering cross sections to simulate the effective scattering intensity at the detector across the carbon K-edge. Maps of the total signal across the flow cell window reveal that increasing the window width and polymer concentration shifts the anisotropic intensity distributions from the center toward the edges of the window. It was determined that an optimal SiN thickness of 50 nm, with a window aperture of 104 μm, maximizes the total signal for typical solute concentrations and energies across the carbon K-edge. Our results overturn the assumption that corner regions dominate the scattering signal, offering explicit design guidelines for maximizing LP-RSoXS signals and significantly advancing the quantitative application of this technique to the characterization of molecular and hybrid nanostructured materials in liquids.

Stability Constants of Lanthanide-nitrate Complexes in Aqueous Solutions: A Theoretical Study

Calculating stability constants for lanthanide--nitrate complexes in aqueous solution is challenging due to the complex free-energy landscapes of the participating species. In this work, we compare cluster-continuum solvation and condensed-phase approaches using universal machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) for determining the stability constants of lanthanide--nitrate complexes in aqueous solutions. Within the cluster--continuum solvation framework at the B3LYP level of theory, reactions involving lanthanide coordination numbers of both 8 and 9 are found to be relevant. After an empirical linear free-energy correction, the cluster--continuum results fall on the same order-of-magnitude scale as the experimental stability constants. By contrast, MACE-MP0 MLIP underestimates lanthanide hydration numbers and gives PMF-derived stability constants with large deviations from experiment, whereas MACE-MATPES-R2SCAN improves both hydration structure and the stability-constant scale but still does not quantitatively reproduce the detailed lanthanide trend. Across both approaches, nitrate binding is best viewed as a labile coordination motif rather than a fixed mono- or bidentate structure, with hydration-shell structure influencing which configurations are favored. Overall, the cluster--continuum calculations provide a practical semi-quantitative baseline for the experimental stability-constant scale, while the explicit-solvent MLIP benchmarks show clear progress from MACE-MP0 to MACE-MATPES-r2SCAN but also highlight the need for lanthanide-targeted training, fine-tuning, or improved long-range and polarization treatments to obtain predictive thermodynamics for complex aqueous lanthanide chemistry.

Deciphering the Conflict Between Ion and Electron Percolating Networks in Solid-State Battery Cathodes

High-energy- and power-density solid state batteries require an optimal cathode composition and microstructural arrangement of cathode active material, solid-state electrolyte, conductive carbon, and binder to simultaneously support lithium-ion transport, electron conduction, and storage capacity. The ion and electron conducting phases in solid-state cathodes counteract each other's percolating networks as their mass ratios increase or decrease relative to each other. Here, we investigate targeted mass ratio variations of argyrodite solid electrolyte and two different types of conductive carbon (particles and fibers) in composite LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) solid-state cathodes to ascertain the ionic-electronic tradeoffs in cathode performance. Through ionic and electronic conductivity measurements on composite cathodes, as well as rate-testing and cycling performance in full cells, it is shown that the conductive carbon fibers form a percolative electronic network within the composite at a lower mass ratio (3-5 wt%) than particulate carbon (>5 wt%). The threshold to achieve electronic percolation coincides with higher accessible capacity in the cathode as the active material particles become electronically connected. However, carbon loadings beyond this percolation threshold lead to increased ion transport resistance, arising from disruptions to ionic conduction pathways and degraded contact at the interface between the electrolyte and active materials. Imaging, spectroscopy, and physics-based models quantitatively describe the relationship between carbon and electrolyte compositions and the cell's capacity and rate performance through percolation theory. This work demonstrates the importance of quantitatively understanding percolating networks in solid-state cells and that strategic engineering of conductive carbon morphologies can further increase the energy- and power-density of solid-state cells.

Properties of photocurrent and metal contacts of highly resistive ultrawide bandgap semiconductors

Ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors inherently exhibit very high electrical resistivities. This property presents not only challenges in probing their electrical transport properties but also difficulties to fabricate, understand, and characterize the electrical properties of metal contacts on these materials. Here, we report the measurements and analysis of the applied electric field dependence of photocurrent to reveal the effect of metal contacts on the transport properties of highly resistive h-BN. Our results indicate that even for h-BN with a room temperature resistivity as high as 1014 Ω cm, the as-deposited metal contact is not a completely blocking type as commonly assumed in previous analyses for other large bandgap insulating materials. By modifying the boundary condition between the metal/semiconductor interface, a quantitative description has been obtained, which can be used to determine if the metal contact is Ohmic or blocking type. This quantitative description should be applicable to all UWBG semiconductors with extremely high electrical resistivities. The work also provides a better understanding of how the metal contact type affects the transport properties of UWBG semiconductors in general.

Neural network denoising of x-ray images from high-energy-density experiments

Noise is a consistent problem for x-ray transmission images of High-Energy-Density (HED) experiments because it can significantly affect the accuracy of inferring quantitative physical properties from these images. We consider experiments that use x-ray area backlighting to image a thin layer of opaque material within a physics package to observe its hydrodynamic evolution. The spatial variance of the x-ray transmission across the system due to changing opacity serves as an analog for measuring density in this evolving layer. The noise in these images adds nonphysical variations in measured intensity, which can significantly reduce the accuracy of our inferred densities, particularly at small spatial scales. Denoising these images is thus necessary to improve our quantitative analysis, but any denoising method also affects the underlying information in the image. In this paper, we present a method for denoising HED x-ray images via a deep convolutional neural network model with a modified DenseNet architecture. In our denoising framework, we estimate the noise present in the real (data) images of interest and apply the inferred noise distribution to a set of natural images. These synthetic noisy images are then used to train a neural network model to recognize and remove noise of that character. We show that our trained denoiser network significantly reduces the noise in our experimental images while retaining important physical features.

Quantifying fission yields at the National Ignition Facility using depleted uranium foil experiments

There are programs for high-Z shell experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). For shells made of actinide material, a quantitative fission diagnostic is needed in order to determine how much fission took place and whether the fission was sufficient to produce a non-negligible heat source in the burning capsule. Here, we present a viable coupled experimental and theoretical technique for making quantitative fission measurements possible. The proposed scheme involves using a well-characterized set of depleted uranium foils outside an NIF capsule to verify the conversion of xenon and krypton fission fragments collected at the Radiochemical Analysis of Gaseous Samples (RAGS) facility into total fission yield. We present the calculations needed for this conversion, including the decays in and out of fission fragment chains during the RAGS pump-down of the NIF chamber.

A Bayesian desmearing algorithm for Bonse–Hart USANS with anisotropic scattering

Ultra-small-angle neutron scattering (USANS) using Bonse–Hart optics provides micrometer-scale structural insights but suffers from severe slit-geometry smearing. While well-established for isotropic systems, quantitative desmearing of anisotropic data remains a challenge because conventional corrections break down for non-radial scattering. In this work, we address this by developing a resolution-aware Bayesian framework that explicitly incorporates anisotropy via an affine deformation to the scattering pattern, guided by the principle of parsimony. This results in orientation-resolved point-spread functions that enable a self-consistent determination of both the resolution and deformation parameters. Using Gaussian process regression with uncertainty quantification and a probabilistic correction for multiple scattering, we demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness through numerical benchmarks and experimental studies of a stretched polymer melt. Our approach enables the seamless integration of SANS and USANS data, facilitating quantitative structural analysis of deformed materials at nanometer to micrometer scales.

Impact of solar geoengineering on temperature-attributable mortality

Decisions about solar geoengineering (SG) entail risk–risk tradeoffs between the direct risks of SG and SG’s ability to reduce climate risks. Quantitative comparisons between these risks are needed to inform public policy. We evaluate idealized SG’s effectiveness in reducing deaths from warming using two climate models and an econometric analysis of temperature-attributable mortality. We find SG’s impact on temperature-attributable mortality is uneven with decreases for hotter, poorer regions and increases in cooler, richer regions. Relative to no SG, global mortality is reduced by over 400,000 deaths annually [90% CI: (−1.2 million,2.7 million)] for cooling of 1 °C from 2.5 °C above preindustrial in 2080. We find no evidence that mortality reduction achieved by SG is smaller than the reduction from equivalent cooling by emissions reductions. Combining our estimates with existing estimates of sulphate aerosol injection direct mortality risk from air quality and UV-attributable cancer enables the first quantitative risk-risk comparison of SG. We estimate with 61% probability that the mortality benefits of cooling outweigh these direct SG risks. We find the benefits outweigh these risks by 13 times for our central estimates, or 4 deaths per 100,000 per 1 °C per year [90% CI: (−11,23)]. This is not a comprehensive evaluation of the risk–risk tradeoffs around SG, yet by comparing some of the most consequential impacts on human welfare it is a useful first step. While these findings are robust to a variety of alternative assumptions, considerable uncertainties remain and require further investigation.

Osmotic and phoretic competition explains chemotaxic assembly and sorting

Microscale objects responding to chemical gradients by migrating toward or away from a preferred species is a simple yet constitutive mechanism by which transport occurs in biological organisms. Synthetic chemotaxis provides key physical descriptions of simplified systems that can be used in biological models, or in the creation of advanced responsive material systems. In this article, we provide a quantitative framework for understanding synthetic chemotaxis of microparticles which involves a competition between phoresis and osmosis. We present separate quantitative measurements of phoresis and osmosis acting on individual taxing particles, finding that phoresis follows the long-predicted v ∼ 1 / r 2 scaling while the osmotic contribution depends on the geometry and details of the system, and must be solved on a case-by-case basis. Through this, we are able to develop a more accurate picture of particle transport at the single particle level. Equipped with this approach, we go on to describe how high concentrations of particles in a symmetric chemical gradient grow close-packed hives that reach a steady-state size tunable through light intensity or particle size. Last, we demonstrate that mixed particles experiencing the same chemical gradient will selectively migrate toward or away depending on the nature of the particle surface, thereby locally sorting out a particular species. We anticipate these results will be important in describing both biological and synthetic chemotaxis in phoretic systems and should bring a wealth of studies that take advantage of competing osmotic flows to illicit unexpected dynamic active behavior.

Cartesian equivariant representations for learning and understanding molecular orbitals

Qualitative and quantitative orbital properties such as bonding/antibonding character, localization, and orbital energies are critical to how chemists understand reactivity, catalysis, and excited-state behavior. Despite this, representations of orbitals in deep learning models have been very underdeveloped relative to representations of molecular geometries and Hamiltonians. Here, we apply state-of-the-art equivariant deep learning architectures to the task of assigning global labels to orbitals, namely energies characterizations, given the molecular coefficients from Hartree–Fock or density functional theory. The architecture we have developed, the Cartesian Equivariant Orbital Network (CEONET), shows how molecular orbital coefficients are readily featurized as equivariant node features common to all graph-based machine-learned potentials. We find that CEONET performs well at predicting difficult quantitative labels such as the orbital energy and orbital entropy. Furthermore, we find that the CEONET representation provides an intuitive latent space for differentiating orbital character for the qualitative assignment of e.g. bonding or antibonding character. In addition to providing a useful representation for further integrating deep learning with electronic structure theory, we expect CEONET to be useful for automatizing and interpreting the results of advanced electronic structure methods such as complete active space self-consistent field theory. In particular, the ability of CEONET to infer multireference character via the orbital entropy paves the way toward the machine-learned selection of active spaces.

The chlorination and separation of aluminum using low-temperature sulfur chloride reagents

There is currently no strategy for the permanent waste disposal or recycling for used nuclear fuelsfrom research reactors. For this reason, low-temperature reactions have been developed for thechlorination of the Al alloys and subsequent separation from used nuclear fuels to reducethe volume of high-level waste in storage. Three sulfur chloride reagents – S 2 Cl 2 , SOCl 2 , and SO 2 Cl 2 —were tested, and two were found to quantitatively chlorinate Al metal and Al alloys undermild conditions. Further, these low-temperature reactions proceed between 298 and 411 K, and up to 5 gof metal is chlorinated in 1–3 h. Preliminary results indicate that the reactivity and exothermicity ofthe reaction between the Al and sulfur chloride reagents is highly dependent on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the metal and the volume of solvent. Elemental S is produced as a by-productduring the chlorination with S 2 Cl 2 but can be quantitatively rechlorinated under mild conditions toregenerate the initial chlorination reagent. Therefore, in this case, chlorine is the only elementconsumed in the reaction, thus minimizing the waste generated during the chlorination process.The AlCl 3 may then be separated from other materials present in Al 6061 or Al 8001 because of itshigh solubility in the sulfur chloride reagents. This process may also be extended to chlorinate Alfrom research reactor fuels.

Quantifying the thermal effect and methyl radical production in nanosecond repetitively pulsed glow discharges applied to a methane-air flame

In this work, we investigated non-equilibrium plasma produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed glow discharges applied across a lean premixed methane-air flame. The flame is stationary, axisymmetric, and laminar. The discharges are applied on the symmetry axis crossing the reactant gases, flame front, and product gases, allowing phase-locked averaged measurements and comparisons with axisymmetric numerical simulations. The thermal effect and methyl radical production are quantified in the discharge in the reactant gas region. One-dimensional, two-beam, hybrid, femtosecond-picosecond, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering is used to acquire spatial and temporal profiles of temperature and oxygen-to-nitrogen concentration ratio. Photo-fragmentation laser-induced fluorescence is used to acquire quantitative two-dimensional profiles of methyl radicals in the discharge providing the first quantitative imaging of methyl produced ahead of a flame by plasma-induced methane dissociation. The spatial profiles of temperature and oxygen-to-nitrogen concentration ratio are in steady state, indicating that individual discharges have an insignificant heating effect. Upper and lower bounds of the produced mole fraction of methyl radicals in the plasma are obtained due to uncertainties in the collisional quenching rates of excited state methylidyne radicals in the plasma. The discharges produce a maximum of 600–1100 ppm of methyl radicals upstream of the flame front within 25 ns. This amount is similar to the predicted methyl mole fraction for the flame without plasma and thus represents a significant chemical perturbation to the reactants upstream of the flame front. The produced methyl follows an exponential decay in the first microsecond after the discharge with a decay constant of 8 µs close to the flame, and 0.8 µs further from the flame. The decay then deviates from the exponential curve and the methyl persists for tens of microseconds. The results suggest that for the tested configuration, the thermal effect of individual discharges through fast gas heating is negligible, while active chemical species are produced in large quantities in the reactant gases, upstream of the flame front.

Saturation of fishbone instability through zonal flows driven by energetic particle transport in tokamak plasmas

Gyrokinetic and kinetic-MHD simulations are performed for the fishbone instability in the DIII-D discharge #178631, chosen for validation of first-principles simulations to predict the energetic particle (EP) transport in an ITER prefusion baseline scenario. Fishbone modes are found to generate zonal flows, which dominate the fishbone saturation. The underlying mechanisms of the two-way fishbone-zonal flows nonlinear interplay are discussed in details. Numerical and analytical analyses identify the fishbone-induced EP redistribution as the dominant generation mechanism for zonal flows. The zonal flows modify the nonlinear dynamics of phase space zonal structures, which reduces the amount of EPs able to resonate with the mode, leading to an early fishbone saturation. Simulation results including zonal flows agree quantitatively with DIII-D experimental measurements of the fishbone saturation amplitude and EP transport, supporting this novel saturation mechanism by self- generated zonal flows. Moreover, the wave-particle mode-locking mechanism is shown to determine quantitatively the fishbone frequency down-chirping, as evident in GTC simulation results in agreement with predictions from analytical theory. Finally, thefishbone-induced zonal flows are possibly responsible for the formation of an ion-ITB in the DIII-D discharge. Based on the low EP transport and the large zonal flow shearing rates associated with the fishbone instability in gyrokinetic simulations of the ITER scenario, it is conjectured that high performance scenarios could be designed in ITER burning plasmas through fishbone-induced ITBs.
