Determination of Thermal Damage Threshold in THz Photomixers Using Raman Spectroscopy

The increase of device lifetime and reliability of THz photomixers will play an essential role in their possible future application. Therefore, their optimal work conditions/operation range, i.e., the maximal incident optical power should be experimentally estimated. We fabricated and tested THz photomixer devices based on nitrogen-implanted GaAs integrated with a Bragg reflector. Raman spectroscopy was applied to investigate the material properties and to disclose any reversible or irreversible material changes. The results indicate that degradation effects in the photomixer structures/material could be avoided if the total optical power density does not exceed levels of about 0.7 mW/µm 2 for 100 min of operation. Furthermore, the investigations performed during 1000 min of optical exposure on the photomixer devices’ central region comprising interdigitated metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structures suggest a reversible “curing” mechanism if the power density level of ~0.58 mW/µm 2 is not exceeded. Long-term operation (up to 1000 h) reveals that the photomixer structures can withstand an average optical power density of up to ~0.4 mW/µm 2 without degradation when biased at 10 V. Besides the decrease of the position of the A1g (LO) Raman mode from ~291 cm -1 down to ~288 cm -1 with increasing optical power density and operation time, broad Raman modes evolve at about 210 cm -1 , which can be attributed to degradation effects in the active photomixer/MSM area. In addition, the performed carrier lifetime and photomixer experiments demonstrated that these structures generated continuous wave sub-THz radiation efficiently as long as their optimal work conditions/operation range were within the limits established by our Raman studies.

A-Cation-Dependent Structure–Optical Property Relationships of Halide Perovskite Heterostructures with Complex Interfaces

Halide perovskite heterostructures offer promising interfacial interactions for energy conversion, yet challenges in synthesizing structurally well-defined systems limit detailed investigations into structure–property relationships. In this article, we report the synthesis of compositionally controlled 3D/3D and 3D/2D halide perovskite heterostructures using evaporation crystallization-polymer pen lithography (EC-PPL) and a single-particle analysis of their properties. By systematically varying A-site cation combinations and crystal dimensions, we show that heterointerfaces induce local lattice distortions that modulate vibrational dynamics and electron-phonon coupling. These interfacial effects result in significantly extended carrier lifetimes compared to compositionally similar pure phases. Raman spectroscopy, temperature-dependent photoluminescence, and power-dependent emission analysis reveal that localized structural modulations at the interface govern exciton-phonon interactions. These effects are magnified in smaller crystals due to increased interfacial contributions. Our findings highlight the critical role of interface-driven lattice control in tuning the optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites and provide design principles for engineering heterostructures in next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Effect of activation temperature on quantum efficiency and lifetime of NEA truncated nanocone array GaAs photocathode

This study investigates the quantum efficiency (QE) and operational lifetime of a negative electron affinity GaAs truncated nanocone array (TNCA) photocathode benchmarked against a conventional flat GaAs photocathode under varying activation temperatures. The TNCA structure demonstrated a QE of up to 13.6% at 590 nm with room temperature (RT) activation—approximately 1.5 times higher than its flat counterpart. This enhancement is due to Mie resonance effects within the nanostructure, as confirmed by finite-difference time-domain simulations. Moreover, the TNCA photocathode exhibits significantly extended charge lifetime, with enhancement factors of ∼6.1 and ∼19.8 under RT and 50 °C activations, respectively. These gains are primarily attributed to increased effective surface area and optimized dipole layer formation at elevated temperatures. In addition, shorter excitation wavelengths further contribute to lifetime improvements. These findings underscore the TNCA GaAs photocathode’s potential as a high QE, long lifetime electron source for many large-scale electron accelerators.

PGM-Free Oxygen-Reduction Catalyst Development for Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Challenges, Solutions, and Promises

Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are efficient and clean hydrogen energy technologies for transportation and stationary applications. Highly active and durable low-cost cathode catalysts for the oxygen-reduction reaction (ORR) under challenging acidic environments are desperately needed to address the cost and durability issues of PEMFCs. The most promising platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts for the ORR in acidic media are atomically dispersed and nitrogen-coordinated metal site catalysts denoted as M–N–C, M = Fe, Co, or Mn. Due to significant efforts in the past few decades, these catalysts have demonstrated much-improved ORR activity and promising initial fuel cell performance approaching traditional Pt/C catalysts. However, the insufficient long-term stability (up to 5000 h) under PEMFC operation represents a primary technical barrier to making current PGM-free catalysts less viable yet in PEMFCs. In this Account, we highlight recent advances in synthesizing efficient PGM-free catalysts for the ORR in PEMFCs, emphasizing effective strategies to improve mass and intrinsic activity and the possible degradation mechanisms. In particular, a chemical doping method based on the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8 represents the key to developing efficient M–N–C catalysts containing atomically dispersed and nitrogen-coordinated single metal active sites (i.e., MN 4 ). The newly acquired understanding of the formation mechanism of MN 4 active sites during the thermal activation and its correlation to catalytic properties guide the rational catalyst design rather than relying on current trial-and-error approaches. Considerable efforts have further been invested in increasing the active site density and enhancing intrinsic activity by regulating carbon-phase structures and the local coordination environment. Furthermore, these highly active catalysts usually suffer from significant activity loss during the ORR. Therefore, breaking the activity–stability trade-off is the key to simultaneously achieving activity and stability in one catalyst, which is discussed on the basis of our recent successes in regulating local carbon structures surrounding active single metal sites. Significant research efforts toward understanding the degradation mechanisms and improving the lifetime of PGM-free catalysts are still crucial for viable applications in the future. Novel electrode designing strategies are needed to translate the PGM-free catalysts’ ORR activity to solid-state electrolyte-based membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) with robust three-phase (i.e., gas–liquid–solid) interfaces for efficient charge and mass transports for performance improvement. On the basis of our effort at the University at Buffalo supported by ElectroCat Consortium associated with U.S. DOE’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office, we provide a perspective on PGM-free cathode catalysts concerning remaining bottlenecks and future opportunities, aiming to inspire the community in both mechanistic understanding and technological development.

Remarkably Weak Anisotropy in Thermal Conductivity of Two-Dimensional Hybrid Perovskite Butylammonium Lead Iodide Crystals

Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites consisting of alternating organic and inorganic layers are a new class of layered structures. They have attracted increasing interest for photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and thermoelectric applications, where knowing their thermal transport properties is critical. In this study, we carry out both experimental and computational studies on thermal transport properties of 2 D butylammonium lead iodide crystals and find their thermal conductivity is ultralow (below 0.3 W m( -1 ) K -1 ) with very weak anisotropy (around 1.5) among layered crystals. Further analysis reveals that the unique structure with the preferential alignment of organic chains and complicated energy landscape leads to moderately smaller phonon lifetimes in the out-of-plane direction and comparable phonon group velocities in in-plane and out-of-plane directions. These new findings may guide the future design of novel hybrid materials with desired thermal conductivity for various applications.

Microcavity-Modified Emission from Rare-Earth Ion-Based Molecular Complexes

Despite the remarkable optical properties of rare-earth ion materials, their applications as light sources and in quantum technologies are often hindered by their long lifetimes and weak emission. Leveraging the natural compatibility of rare-earth ion molecular complexes with photonic structures, here we modify their photoluminescence properties by coupling them to a flexible open Fabry-Perot cavity. The full in situ tunability of the Fabry-Perot cavity allows fine control over its cavity modes and the achievement of resonant coupling between the rare-earth ion emission and the cavity modes. This configuration allows us to achieve a maximum photoluminescence enhancement factor of 30 and accelerate the decay rate up to two orders of magnitude. Our pump-power-dependent spectroscopic studies of the emitter-cavity system suggest that the cavity-modified emission is primarily caused by amplified spontaneous emission. These results suggest that integrating rare-earth ion molecular complexes with photonic structures could be a viable approach for the effective tuning of their optical properties. This natural compatibility, together with their versatile molecular structures and the resultant electronic states, renders rare-earth ion molecular complexes a potential alternative material platform for lighting and quantum applications.

Photo-excitation of long-lived transient intermediates in ultracold reactions

In many chemical reactions, the transformation from reactants to products is mediated by transient intermediate complexes. For gas-phase reactions involving molecules with a few atoms, these complexes typically live on the order of 10 ps or less before dissociating, and are therefore rarely influenced by external processes. Here, we demonstrate that the transient intermediate complex K 2 Rb 2 *, formed from collisions between ultracold KRb molecules, undergoes rapid photo-excitation in the presence of a continuous-wave laser source at 1,064 nm, a wavelength commonly used to confine ultracold molecules. These excitations are facilitated by the exceptionally long lifetime of the complex under ultracold conditions. Indeed, by monitoring the change in the complex population after the sudden removal of the excitation light, we directly measure the lifetime of the complex to be 360 ± 30 ns, in agreement with our calculations based on the Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) statistical theory. Furthermore, our results shed light on the origin of the two-body loss widely observed in ultracold molecule experiments. Additionally, the long complex lifetime, coupled with the observed photo-excitation pathway, opens up the possibility to spectroscopically probe the structure of the complex with high resolution, thus elucidating the reaction dynamics.

Framework for idealized climate simulations with spatiotemporal stochastic clouds and planetary-scale circulations

In climate predictions, clouds are the leading source of uncertainty. This is partly because, to simulate the fluid dynamics of climate over the entire globe, a large grid spacing must be used, so clouds are a subgrid-scale parametrization rather than a resolved feature. Here, a framework is investigated with finer grid spacing of O(1) or O(10)km so that some clouds are not subgrid-scale; instead, clouds evolve on the numerical grid. This cloud evolution is achieved using stochastic modeling. Hence, the framework is idealized in the sense that the full fluid dynamics of cloud circulations is still not resolved, and simplified vertical structures are used. Nevertheless, the fluid dynamics model includes evolving clouds that interactively adjust in size, shape, lifetime, and regional coverage. In addition, different cloud types are included with different roles in the climate system, including deep convective clouds and also boundary-layer clouds such as shallow cumulus and stratocumulus clouds. Other basic aspects of the idealized climate system are planetary-scale circulations (e.g., Walker circulation) and radiation. With these ingredients (evolving clouds, planetary-scale circulations, and radiation), the framework has the potential for idealized investigations of climate change with interactive cloud–radiative feedback of individual clouds. Here, the formulation of the model equations is presented, and numerical simulations are shown to illustrate the model dynamics and climate change.

Development of Graphite Thermal and Mechanical Modeling Capabilities in Grizzly

Nuclear-grade graphites are used extensively in the core designs of multiple types of advanced nuclear reactors. In the reactor environment, graphite is exposed over long durations to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, radiation and potentially molten salt and oxygen. Exposure to these conditions can cause several degradation mechanisms in graphite, including nonuniform volumetric strains induced by irradiation and thermal expansion, which lead to stresses that can compromise the performance of graphite components. Evaluating component integrity, predicting component performance over the reactor lifetime, and developing design standards all require robust tools for predicting fracture initiation and propagation in graphite structural components in nuclear reactors. This report documents progress in an ongoing effort to develop modeling and simulation tools in the Grizzly code for predicting the performance of graphite exposed to reactor conditions. Recent developments include a set of thermal and mechanical models that now include the IG-110, NBG-18, and H-451 graphite grades. Improvements have also been made to a nonlinear damaged plasticity model applicable to predicting damage under tension and compression to quasibrittle materials, including graphite. In addition, enhancements have been made to the extended finite element method implementation targeted at simulating graphite fracture. These include new capabilities for crack nucleation in the interior of a solid body, improved treatment of crack nucleation on free surfaces, and more robust modeling approaches for crack growth approaching free surfaces or other cracks.

Understanding High-Voltage Behavior of Sodium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials Using Synchrotron X-ray and Neutron Techniques: A Review

Despite substantial research efforts in developing high-voltage sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as high-energy-density alternatives to complement lithium-ion-based energy storage technologies, the lifetime of high-voltage SIBs is still associated with many fundamental scientific questions. In particular, the structure phase transition, oxygen loss, and cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI) decay are intensely discussed in the field. Synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering characterization techniques offer unique capabilities for investigating the complex structure and dynamics of high-voltage cathode behavior. In this review, to accelerate the development of stable high-voltage SIBs, we provide a comprehensive and thorough overview of the use of synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering in studying SIB cathode materials with an emphasis on high-voltage layered transition metal oxide cathodes. We then discuss these characterizations in relation to polyanion-type cathodes, Prussian blue analogues, and organic cathode materials. Finally, future directions of these techniques in high-voltage SIB research are proposed, including CEI studies for polyanion-type cathodes and the extension of neutron scattering techniques, as well as the integration of morphology and phase characterizations.

Beyond green with synthetic chlorophylls – Connecting structural features with spectral properties

The distinct features of chlorophylls in photosynthesis have led to the formation of numerous derivatives for applications encompassing solar energy conversion, molecular photonics, photodynamic therapy, and molecular imaging. Synthetic chlorins created de novo and bearing a geminal dimethyl group in the reduced ring have proved invaluable for fundamental studies. Four decades of research have led to accumulation of tabulated spectra for > 400 such synthetic chlorins with distinct structural frameworks (17-oxochlorins, 13 1 -oxophorbines, chlorinimides) and substituents (alkyl, aryl, ethynyl, phenylethynyl, acetyl, formyl) located at specific (meso, β) positions. In this review, spectral traces (324 absorption, 247 fluorescence) are assembled along with photophysical data including the molar absorption coefficient (ε), fluorescence quantum yield (Φ f ) and singlet excited-state lifetime (τ s ). The review uses the accumulated spectral data derived from chlorins all containing a uniform molecular scaffold to (1) highlight the effects of molecular structure on spectral features, and (2) identify trends including how ε, Φ f and τ s vary with wavelength and other features. Use of a common geminal-dimethyl-substituted chlorin scaffold – beginning with no substituents, to one substituent at designated sites, and to 2 or more substituents – provides a systematic Aufbau approach for understanding the absorption spectra of chlorins on a path to and beyond the native chlorophylls. Finally, the review provides insights concerning the rational design of potent analogues of Nature’s preeminent red-region absorbers for potential utilization in diverse applications and is aimed at multiple audiences: those interested in spectral properties, tetrapyrrole photophysics, and the molecular design of new chromophores.

A Short-lived Three-Belt Structure for sub-MeV Electrons in the Van Allen Belts: Time Scale and Energy Dependence

In this study we focus on the radiation belt dynamics driven by the geomagnetic storms during September 2017. Besides the long-lasting three-belt structures of ultrarelativistic electrons (>2 MeV, existing for tens of days), which has been studied intensively during the Van Allen Probe era, it is found that magnetospheric electrons of hundreds of keVs can also have three-belt structures at similar L extent during storm time. Measurements of 500–800 keV electrons from MagEIS instrument onboard Van Allen Probes show double-peaked (L = 3.5 and 4.5, respectively) flux-versus-L-shell profile in the outer belt, which lasted for 2–3 days. During the time interval of such transient three-belt structure, the energy-versus-L spectrogram shows novel distributions differing from both “S-shaped” and “V-shaped” spectrograms reported previously. Such peculiar distribution also illustrates the energy-dependent occurrence of the three-belt profile. Furthermore, the gradual formation of “reversed energy spectrum” at L ~ 3.5 also indicates that hiss scattering inside the plasmapause contributed to the fast decay of sub-MeV remnant belt.

Revealing in-plane movement of platinum in polymer electrolyte fuel cells after heavy-duty vehicle lifetime

Fuel cell heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) require increased durability of oxygen-reduction-reaction electrocatalysts, making knowledge of realistic degradation mechanisms critical. Here identical-location micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was performed on membrane electrode assemblies. The results exposed heavy in-plane movement of electrocatalyst after HDV lifetime, suggesting that electrochemical Ostwald ripening may not be a local effect. Development of local loading hotspots and preferential movement of electrocatalyst away from cathode catalyst layer cracks was observed. The heterogeneous degradation exhibited by a modified cathode gas diffusion layer membrane electrode assembly after HDV lifetime was successfully quantified by the identical-location approach. Further synchrotron micro-X-ray diffraction and micro-X-ray fluorescence experiments were performed to obtain the currently unknown correlation between electrocatalyst nanoparticle size increase and loading change. A direct correlation was discovered which developed only after HDV lifetime. Finally, the work provides a route to engineer immediate system-level mitigation strategies and to develop structured cathode catalyst layers with durable electrocatalysts.

Establishing the Maximum Collectivity in Highly Deformed N = Z Nuclei

The lifetimes of the first excited 2 + states in the N = Z nuclei 80 Zr, 78 Y, and 76 Sr have been measured using the γ-ray line shape method following population via nucleon-knockout reactions from intermediate-energy rare-isotope beams. The extracted reduced electromagnetic transition strengths yield new information on where the collectivity is maximized and provide evidence for a significant, and as yet unexplained, odd-odd vs even-even staggering in the observed values. As a result, the experimental results are analyzed in the context of state-of-the-art nuclear density-functional model calculations.

Dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy using independent grazing-incidence focusing and convexly bent Bragg-crystal dispersing optics

We present a modular instrument for dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy (DXAS) developed for the Advanced Spectroscopy Beamline at Sector 25 of the Advanced Photon Source. The setup employs a double-multilayer monochromator to provide X-rays with a broad energy bandwidth, Kirkpatrick–Baez mirrors for focusing, a convexly bent Bragg-crystal polychromator for energy dispersion, and a pixel-array detector to resolve all X-ray energies and collect their intensity simultaneously, thereby enabling acquisition of a full X-ray absorption spectrum in a single shot. The use of separate optics for X-ray focusing and energy dispersion provides high spatial resolution and avoids chromatic aberrations inherent in focusing bent-crystal optics, and a modular design makes implementation of the technique at other beamlines possible without requiring modifications to the upstream beamline configurations. Theoretical calculations are performed to determine optimal instrument operating parameters and demonstrate that an energy resolution better than the K-edge core-hole lifetime broadening can be maintained while providing a sufficient bandwidth for X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy through the full operating range of 5–11 keV. Additionally, instrument design, data analysis methods, and initial DXAS results on lithium–manganese–nickel oxide laminates are presented.

Substituent effect on napthodithiophene-fused porphyrins: Understanding the unusual trend of fluorescence quantum yield quenching

A series of π-extended porphyrins containing thiophene units was prepared to investigate an unusual trend observed in the fluorescence quantum yield of naphtho[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-fused porphyrins. Monobenzoporphyrins carrying 2-thiophenyl (vinyl thiophene porphyrin) groups (2VTP, 2VTBr and Br2VTP) (numbering 2 and 3 refers to the position of sulfur on the thiophene ring) were synthesized through a Heck-based cascade reaction followed by a newly developed bromination method. These were converted to naphtho[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-fused porphyrin derivatives (FBr2VTP and F2VTBr) via ring closure with an intramolecular Scholl reaction. Increasingly larger Stokes shifts with a higher number of bromo groups were observed in the unfused π-extended molecular systems, reflecting the heavy atom effect. Fluorescence spectroscopy further confirmed the unusual trend seen in the previous work: structural rigidification in naphtho[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-fused porphyrins leads to longer fluorescence lifetimes but unexpectedly lowers the quantum yield. Adding one bromo group to the naphtho[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene unit does not change this trend. Furthermore, the presence of two bromo groups prevents the quantum yield from dropping. DFT, TDDFT, and NICS analyses suggest a drastic change in aromaticity in the pyrrole ring where the naphtho[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene is fused in FBr2VTP, which might contribute to the quantum yield reductions.

Comparison of the Neutronic Performance of IRP-1 and IRP-2 at SNS

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) operated from start-up, in May 2006, through December, 2017 before replacing the Inner Reflector Plug (IRP). This component is the most costly and time-consuming “regular maintenance” replacement foreseen in the operation of the First Target Station (FTS). The IRP includes beryllium reflector blocks, steel and aluminum support structures, aluminum moderator vessels (which in turn include gadolinium and cadmium neutron poisons) and water coolant systems. The lifetime of this multi-million dollar component is driven by poison and decoupler burnup in moderator vessels. The moderators include these neutron poisons to best match neutron beam performance with scattering instrument needs. The burnup that comes with use changes the performance of the moderators until they no longer server their intended purpose. The reasonable desire to maximize the IRP lifetime means that the moderator performance at the Beginning Of Life (BOL) is significantly “over poisoned” and different from the performance at moderator End Of Life (EOL). Upon installation of the second IRP article, IRP-2, the SNS Neutronics team characterized the performance of the neutron beamlines in order to assess the differences between them, primarily by comparing the EOL performance of IRP-1 to the BOL performance of IRP-2. While IRP-2 was largely similar to IRP-1 in its conceptual design, there were some differences in the specific design of IRP-2 to support enhanced manufacturability, and the change from IPR-1 to IRP-2 coincided with the replacement of the light water in the IRP cooling loop with heavy water, as had been intended in the SNS design but not implemented during construction because of heavy water availability.

Mulan: a part-per-million measurement of the muon lifetime and determination of the Fermi constant

The part-per-million measurement of the positive muon lifetime and determination of the Fermi constant by the MuLan experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute is reviewed. The experiment used an innovative, time-structured, surface muon beam and a near-4 \pi π , finely-segmented, plastic scintillator positron detector. Two in-vacuum muon stopping targets were used: a ferromagnetic foil with a large internal magnetic field, and a quartz crystal in a moderate external magnetic field. The experiment acquired a dataset of 1.6 \times 10^{12} 1.6 × 10 12 positive muon decays and obtained a muon lifetime \tau_{\mu} = 2\, 196\, 980.3(2.2) τ μ = 2 196 980.3 ( 2.2 ) ~ps (1.0~ppm) and Fermi constant G _F = 1.166\, 378\, 7(6) \times 10^{-5} F = 1.166 378 7 ( 6 ) × 10 − 5 GeV ^{-2} − 2 (0.5~ppm). The thirty-fold improvement in \tau_{\mu} τ μ has proven valuable for precision measurements in nuclear muon capture and the commensurate improvement in G _F F has proven valuable for precision tests of the standard model.
