Iron-rich microstructure records of high temperature multi-component silicate melt behavior in nuclear fallout

Above-ground nuclear explosions that interact with the surface of the earth entrain materials from the surrounding environment, influencing the resulting physical and chemical evolution of the fireball, which can affect the final chemical phase and mobility of hazardous radionuclides that are dispersed in the environment as fallout particles. The interaction of iron with a nuclear explosion is of specific interest due to the potential for iron to act as a redox buffer and because of the likelihood of significant masses of metals to be present in urban environments. We investigated fallout from a historic surface interacting nuclear explosion conducted on a steel tower and report the discovery of widespread and diverse iron-rich micro-structures preserved within the samples, including crystalline dendrites and micron-scale iron-rich spheres with liquid immiscibility textures. We assert these micro-structures reflect local redox conditions and cooling rates and can inform interpretation of high temperature events, enabling new insights into fireball condensation physics and chemistry when metals from the local environment (i.e. structural steel) are vaporized or entrained. Finally, these observations also significantly expand the availability of silicate immiscibility datasets applicable to rapidly quenched systems such as meteorite impact melt glass.

Melting diamond in the diamond cell by laser-flash heating

The phase behavior of carbon at high pressure and the search for carbon structures denser than diamond has been explored for decades showing large discrepancies, with many fundamental questions remaining unresolved. Here we show evidence of melting above the graphite-diamond-liquid (GDL) triple point (~13 GPa, 4000 K) up to 50 GPa on samples recovered from single flash-heating events using spectroscopic and electron microscopic methods. The results show that for all pressures, diamond melts below the triple point temperature contradicting previous studies, most of which predict a positive slope of the melting curve.

Speed of sound in methane under conditions of planetary interiors

We present direct observations of acoustic waves in warm dense matter. We analyze wave-number- and energy-resolved x-ray spectra taken from warm dense methane created by laser heating a cryogenic liquid jet. X-ray diffraction and inelastic free-electron scattering yield sample conditions of 0.3 ± 0.1 eV and 0.8 ± 0.1 g/ cm − 3 , corresponding to a pressure of ∼ 13 GPa. Inelastic x-ray scattering was used to observe the collective oscillations of the ions. With a highly improved energy resolution of ∼ 50 meV, we could clearly distinguish the Brillouin peaks from the quasielastic Rayleigh feature. Data at different wave numbers were utilized to derive a sound speed of 5.9 ± 0.5 km/s, marking a high-temperature data point for methane and demonstrating consistency with Birch's law in this parameter regime.

Cloud microphysical structure analysis based on high-resolution insitu measurements

This study investigates the microphysical parameters and shapes of droplet size distributions (DSDs) along three aircraft traverses of developing convective clouds during Cloud Aerosol Interactions and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX) Phase III 2015 at a sampling frequency of 25 Hz. The droplet number concentration (Nc, cm -3 ), and liquid water content (LWC, g m -3 ) present steep gradients within zones of a few tens of meters near the cloud edges and relatively gentle gradients in the strong updraft zones. Sometimes, the horizontal LWC distribution resembles a trapezoidal shape with steep LWC and Nc gradients near the cloud edges. The LWC maximums (LWC max ) are lower than the adiabatic LWCs, but the high adiabatic fractions in the cloud core indicate low dilution. High LWC/LWC max , largest droplets, and narrow and similarly shaped DSDs are found in the regions of high updrafts. Zones of low LWC/LWC max are found close to the cloud edges, where DSDs are highly diverse, containing both large and small droplets. Finally, we analyze the mixing diagrams. Significant in-phase turbulent fluctuations in LWC and N c were found. The effective radii change slightly across cloud updraft zones but decrease at the zone of low LWC/LWC max ratio close to cloud edges. The spectra of LWC and N c obey Kolmogorov -5/3 turbulence law. The radii of the correlation of LWC and N c in updraft zones are of several tens of meters. Filaments up to 120–175 m in size are also noticed.

Dataset for manuscript "Equipartition and the temperature of maximum density of TIP4P/2005 water"

We simulate TIP4P/2005 water in the temperature range of 257 K to 318 K with time-steps 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, and 4.00 fs. The density-temperature behavior obtained using 0.25 or 0.50 fs are in excellent agreement with each other but differ from those obtained using time-steps that have been shown earlier to lead to a breakdown of equipartition. The temperature of maximum density (TMD) is 277.15 K with time-step 0.25 or 0.50 fs, but is shifted to progressively lower values for longer time-steps, a trend that holds for different thermostat/barostat combinations. Enhancing the water-water dispersion interaction, as has been recommended for simulating disordered proteins in TIP4P/2005, degrades the description of the liquid-vapor phase envelope. We present a simple physically transparent reasoning to highlight the separation of the time-scales between translational and rotational motion. We also develop a metric, Chi, that we term the equipartition anomaly, to detect equipartition violations in simulations that include molecules that are treated as rigid objects. Calculating Chi is shown to be straightforward and sensitive to equipartition violations. A key takeaway from this study is that using sufficiently short time-steps (less than or equal to 0.5 fs) to preserve equipartition is essential for obtaining meaningful liquid water properties and for producing reliable simulation data, as correct-ensemble sampling is fundamental to ensure reproducibility across codes and simulation alogrithms. The included dataset provides the raw data used in the preparation of the graphs noted in the manuscript.

Summary of Savannah River Site FY24 Salt Waste Qualification Data

Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC), the Liquid Waste Operations subcontractor at SRS, and Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) analyzed samples from Savannah River Site (SRS) Waste Tanks 21H, 41H, and 42H to support qualification of Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) Waste Batches 10, 11, 12, and 13 for processing (the FY24 Salt Batch Qualification samples). These Tanks (i.e. 21H, 41H and 42H) are blend tanks for feed to SWPF. This report focuses on the characterization of the Salt Batch Qualification sub-samples (i.e., any adjustments after qualification or as a part of processing are documented elsewhere). None of the samples displayed any unusual or unexpected characteristics such as large amounts of solids, floating solids, or unusual color. Characterization of these samples confirmed similar chemical composition and characteristics to previous salt waste batches. The analytical results (both rapid, typically 4 weeks, and long-term, typically 8 weeks) for Salt Batches 10, 11, 12, and 13 are now summarized and discussed in this technical report. SRMC-Analytical Laboratory (SRMC-AL), for the first time, provided all the short-term analyses data used in the qualification evaluations of SWPF Salt Batches 10, 11, 12, and 13. These SRMC short-term results are presented along with the results for the long-term analyses provided by SRNL.

ELASTOMERIC MICROVASCULAR SELF-HEALING MATERIALS

Damaged elastomeric diaphragms within pneumatic controllers used in the oil and gas industry lead to an unintended release of methane. Self-healing microvascular materials capable of healing various types of damage have been fabricated. These microvascular materials are designed to replace currently available commercial diaphragms found in pneumatic controllers and provide a solution to reduce unintended methane leaks. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was used as the main matrix material, with additional testing conducted on polyurethane and flexibilised epoxy materials. Microvascular networks were implemented into the elastomeric membranes to act as ves- sels to deliver healing agents to the damaged areas. The complex, interdigitated channel networks were created using a 3D printed custom compounded filament composed of polylactic acid (PLA) and tin(II) oxalate. Two-part liquid casting polymers were poured around the channels into a mould to create samples with the scaffolding of the microvascular channels intact. Hollow microvascular networks were created by placing the samples within a vacuum oven at 250◦C which causes the thermal depolymerisation of PLA into its gaseous monomers. The manufactured materials were placed in test stands and pressurized using nitrogen gas to determine their healing and mechanical behaviour. Self-healing behaviour was demonstrated using PDMS matrix materials and healing chemistries within a pressure test cell. This test cell was designed to detect any damage to a sample by record- ing an outlet pressure. Damages including puncture holes, diagonal cuts and star-shaped central iv cuts were applied to the samples and a reduction in the outlet pressure was recorded for all sam- ples. A variation in channel spacing and diameter was studied to determine the optimal design of the microvascular network for self-healing performance. The mechanical performance of elastomeric membrane materials within a diaphragmatic pressurised stand was observed. Deformations and strains around the channels and channel inter- sections at the midplane of the materials were recorded using digital image correlation. Normal stresses were calculated using Hooke’s law and the material properties of the PDMS matrix. A reduction in leak rate, implying the success of self-healing, was recorded within manu- factured diaphragm samples tested within a commercial valve. PDMS is the favourable material when compared to polyurethane and flexibilised epoxy for creating

Adaptive Sampling for In Situ Cloud Probe (Final Report)

Clouds play a leading role in the Earth's global energy and solar radiation balance and hydrological cycle. Improving cloud models requires detailed information on the cloud microphysical properties, such as droplet size distribution and number density, liquid water content and cloud composition (droplets, ice particles), which can only be provided by aerial in situ measurements. However, for many atmospheric measurement instruments, the lack of flexibility in selecting the operational mode during operation can lead to uncertainties in sampling and measurement characteristics under continuously varying atmospheric conditions. This SBIR project is developing an advanced, compact optical imaging technology for in situ characterization of cloud hydrometeors. The development involves a deep modification of the existing Mesa Photonics’ Cloud Droplet Measurement System (CDMS) in order to implement real-time automatic adaptive sampling based on the acquired in situ data and environmental parameters. The new system, CDMS-2, implements two measurement modes: side-scatter imaging for smaller hydrometeors and direct bright-field-illumination imaging for larger hydrometeors in a significantly larger sample volume. The system measures the droplet size distribution (DSD) and number density with an added capability of discriminating between liquid water and ice hydrometeors (based on polarization-resolved side-scatter imaging). The instrument will implement automatic switching or alternating between the regular side-scatter imaging mode and sparse/large hydrometeor mode (based on the acquired data). Other adaptive sampling capabilities include variable sample volume and dynamic range (based on the measured DSD). The preferred deployment platforms are uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and tethered balloon/kite systems (TBS). The Phase I project achieved (or exceeded) the goals listed in the Work Plan. A CDMS-2 laboratory prototype implementing the polarization-resolved side-scatter imaging mode and direct bright-field-illumination imaging mode was designed and built. Additional capabilities included the variable illumination pulse energy and sample volume. The smallest detectable droplet diameter was improved to 3–4 μm (from the nominal 10 μm value specified for the original CDMS). Discrimination between water droplets and ice particles was experimentally demonstrated. The Phase I prototype was extensively tested and calibrated in the laboratory and also tested in the Pi Cloud Chamber at Michigan Technological University (MTU). The two intensive experimental campaigns at MTU provided unique opportunities of testing the CDMS-2 laboratory prototype under realistic warm and mixed-phase cloud conditions (stable for long periods of time), testing different sampling modes and intercomparing the CDMS-2 prototype to other co-located cloud characterization instruments. The Phase I project successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed technology and identified the engineering challenges of designing a field deployable prototype instrument in Phase II. The Phase I study provides a solid basis for development, characterization and field-testing of the proposed advanced cloud probe with adaptive sampling in Phase II followed by commercialization of the technology in Phase III.

Optimizing Sub-Sampled STEM Imaging for Beam Sensitive Materials and Dynamic Processes

The goal of this research is to quantify how sub-sampling and inpainting (broadly classified as methods in Artificial Intelligence) can be used to obtain the highest resolution images under any experimental conditions, and to use this to reproducibly control dynamic in-situ processes in gases and liquids on the nanoscale. As atomic diffusion under non-extreme conditions is typically in the sub-ms time domain, the ability to use this sub-sampling approach to reduce the effect of the electron beam and to speed-up the imaging process represents the optimum combination of spatial and temporal resolution achievable in a conventional microscope. This LDRD funding demonstrated the feasibility of imaging dynamics in complex energy systems using this methodology by establishing the optimum experimental sampling conditions (optimizing the number of pixels, speed, contrast and resolution) for each experiment. For in-situ liquid cell experiments this analysis shows that simply by distributing the same dose and dose rate maximally in space and time, the kinetics for radiolysis products can be modified significantly. The final stage of this work, i.e. the experimental demonstration of its use for nucleation and growth, was severely curtailed by issues with COVID19. However, all the experiments are designed and currently underway, with the goal to complete the final demonstration and publication as soon as safety concerns for laboratory access are met.

A Perspective on Multiscale Modeling of Explicit Solvation-Enabled Simulations of Catalysis at Liquid–Solid Interfaces

Catalysis at liquid-solid interfaces is profoundly influenced by the interfacial solvent structure, which affects catalytic activity, selectivity, and reaction pathways. This perspective discusses state-of-the-art multiscale modeling methods that integrate quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics approaches to apply explicit solvent molecules to capture these interfacial phenomena. Specifically, the construction of multiscale models, the importance of capturing the interfacial solvent structure, and the computational strategies used to achieve this are explored, and the challenges in balancing chemical accuracy with computational expense are highlighted. Additionally, this perspective addresses the limitations of current methods. Opportunities for integrating machine learning are proposed. Here, by advancing the efficiency and user friendliness of multiscale modeling, it is argued that deeper insights into heterogeneous catalysis in liquid phases can be provided, which will ultimately contribute to the development of more efficient catalytic processes.

13 C-Isotope-Assisted Assessment of Metabolic Quenching During Sample Collection from Suspension Cell Cultures

Metabolomics and fluxomics are core approaches to directly profile and interrogate cellular metabolism in response to various genetic or environmental perturbations. In order to accurately measure the abundance and isotope enrichment of intracellular metabolites, cell culture samples must be rapidly harvested and cold-quenched to preserve the in vivo metabolic state of the cells at the time of sample collection. When dealing with suspension cultures, this process is complicated by the need to separate the liquid culture media from cellular biomass prior to metabolite extraction. Here, we examine the efficacy of several commonly used metabolic quenching methods, using the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 as an example. Multiple 13 C-labeled compounds, including 13 C-bicarbonate, 13 C-glucose and 13 C-glutamine, were used as tracers during the sample collection and cold-quenching process to assess the extent of metabolic turnover after cells were harvested from culture flasks. We show that the combination of rapid filtration followed by 100% cold (–80°C) methanol quenching exhibits the highest quenching efficiency, while mixing cell samples with a partially frozen 30% methanol slurry (–24°C) followed by centrifugation is slightly less effective at quenching metabolism but enables less laborious sample processing. By contrast, rapidly mixing the cells with a saline ice slurry (~0°C) is less effective as indicated by high isotope-labeling rates after sample harvest, while mixing the cells with 60% cold methanol (–65°C) prior to centrifugation causes significant metabolite loss. Furthermore, this study demonstrates a rigorous, quantitative, and broadly applicable method for assessing the metabolic quenching efficacy of protocols used for sample collection in metabolomics and fluxomics studies.

Investigating Liquid Water Transport in Different Pore Structure of Gas Diffusion Layers for PEMFC Using Lattice Boltzmann Method

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) require a gas diffusion layer (GDL) to aid in the transport of liquid fuel to the catalyst layer. In this work, direct modeling using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) was applied to X-ray CT scans of four different carbon gas diffusion layers to understand the mass transport properties through the samples. Three injection orientations were used to study local saturation levels, water evolution through the sample, and mass transport behavior at breakthrough conditions. The LBM, combined with computational fluid dynamic modeling techniques, can accurately predict liquid saturation at the macro and micro scale, which provides more insight into the mass transport phenomena through the GDL. The change of pore structure and orientation in both the in-plane and through-plane determines the path that liquid water must take, which could aid or impact PEMFC performance. The outcomes from this work will also benefit any research that needs knowledge of internal mass transport qualities of gas diffusion media.

Segmentation of RDX and TNT in X‐Ray Computed Tomography Reconstructions of Melt‐Cast Explosives

ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional mesoscale characterization of heterogeneous melt‐cast high explosives is challenging because of the difficulty differentiating binder from explosive crystals: two functionally different materials which are typically similar in density by design. Here, we report an algorithm which can differentiate hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (RDX) from 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT) in x‐ray computed tomography (CT) volumes with tens of microns resolution. This method allows us to quantify RDX/TNT content, porosity, and RDX domain size. We calibrated the segmentation algorithm using simulated x‐ray CT volumes containing object models of RDX crystals within a TNT matrix. We then segmented and analyzed CT data for Composition B (Comp B), a 60/40 RDX/TNT mixture, and Cyclotol, a 75/25 RDX/TNT mixture. We examined melt‐cast samples fabricated with 100% theoretical maximum density (TMD) and 85% TMD. For the 100% TMD Comp B and Cyclotol samples, the RDX content values calculated by segmentation were 3% and 9% lower, respectively, than the values measured by high‐performance liquid chromatography on material from the same synthesis lots. This result is consistent with the expected underreporting of RDX content resulting from x‐ray CT resolution limits on RDX particles with diameters smaller than 25 µm. The 85% TMD samples were less accurately segmented with our algorithm due to the confounding presence of voids.

Optimization of the JUNO liquid scintillator composition using a Daya Bay antineutrino detector

To maximize the light yield of the liquid scintillator (LS) for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 t LS sample was produced in a pilot plant at Daya Bay. The optical properties of the new LS in various compositions were studied by replacing the gadolinium-loaded LS in one antineutrino detector. The concentrations of the fluor, PPO, and the wavelength shifter, bis-MSB, were increased in 12 steps from 0.5 g/L and 0.01 mg/L to 4 g/L and 13 mg/L, respectively. The numbers of total detected photoelectrons suggest that, with the optically purified solvent, the bis-MSB concentration does not need to be more than 4 mg/L. In order to bridge the one order of magnitude in the detector size difference between Daya Bay and JUNO, the Daya Bay data were used to tune the parameters of a newly developed optical model. Then, the model and tuned parameters were used in the JUNO simulation. Overall, this enabled to determine the optimal composition for the JUNO LS: purified solvent LAB with 2.5 g/L PPO, and 1 to 4 mg/L bis-MSB.

Annual Performance Testing of Tracer Gas Detectors for use in Radionuclide NESHAP Compliance Testing

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL’s) compliance with Radionuclide NESHAP0F 1 regulations is managed by the Radioactive Air Emissions Management (RAEM) team, part of LANL’s Compliance Programs group (EPC-CP). One area of the Radionuclide NESHAP addresses requirements for siting a stack sample system. Prior to commissioning a new stack sampling system, the ANSI Standard for stack sampling requires that the stack sample location must meet several criteria, including uniform mixing of tracer gas (sulfur hexafluoride, SF 6 ) and tracer aerosol (liquid oil droplets) in the air stream. This memorandum will specifically focus on the tracer gas portion of the ANSI Standard. For these mix tests, tracer gas is injected into the stack air stream and the resulting air concentrations are measured across the plane of the stack at the proposed sampling location. The coefficient of variation of the media concentration must be under 20% when evaluated over the central 2/3 area of the stack or duct.

SPRUCE Climate Warming and Elevated CO2 Rapidly Alter Peatland Soil Carbon Sources and Stability: Supporting Data

This data set reports a suite of complementary biogeochemical analyses of peat samples from the SPRUCE (Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments) experiment. Results were collected using quantitative molecular analysis of bulk soil carbon to assess the stability of soil organic carbon following whole-ecosystem warming and exposure to elevated carbon dioxide concentrations (eCO2). Targeted soil organic carbon components include solvent-extractable compounds (alkanoic acids, alkanols, alkanes, steroids, and terpenoids), ester-bound hydrolysable biopolymers (cutin and suberin markers), lignin phenols, and pyrogenic carbon. Bulk peat samples were analysed by Soxhlet extraction and solid phase separation for solvent-extractable compounds, alkaline hydrolysis to extract hydrolysable biopolymers, copper (II) oxide oxidation to extract lignin phenols and benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) as an approximation of pyrogenic carbon. Samples were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and compound identification was performed on GC coupled to mass selective detector (MS) for solvent-extractable compounds, ester-bound hydrolysable biopolymers and lignin phenols, and high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) for pyrogenic carbon. Results are presented in Ofiti et al. (accepted). The experimental work was conducted on samples collected in August 2018 at the SPRUCE climate manipulation experiment in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). Samples were collected and later analysed in a 10 cm increments over 0 to 50 cm depth and 25 cm intervals from 50 to 75 cm. Samples were analyzed for lignin phenols over 0 to 30 cm depth.

Development of a Universal Second-Tier Newborn Screening LC–MS/MS Method for Amino Acids, Lysophosphatidylcholines, and Organic Acids

First-tier MS-based newborn screening by flow injection analysis can have high presumptive positive rates, often due to isomeric/isobaric compounds or poor biomarker specificity. These presumptive positive samples can be analyzed by second-tier screening assays employing separations such as liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), which increases test specificity and drastically reduces false positive referrals. The ability to screen for multiple disorders in a single multiplexed test simplifies workflows and maximizes public health laboratories’ resources. In this study, we developed and validated a highly multiplexed second-tier method for dried blood spots using a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column coupled to an MS/MS system. The LC–MS/MS method was capable of simultaneously detecting second-tier biomarkers for maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, methylmalonic acidemia, propionic acidemia, glutaric acidemia type 1, glutaric acidemia type 2, guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency, short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, adrenoleukodystrophy, and Pompe disease.

Hidden transport phenomena in an ultraclean correlated metal

Advancements in materials synthesis have been key to unveil the quantum nature of electronic properties in solids by providing experimental reference points for a correct theoretical description. Here, we report hidden transport phenomena emerging in the ultraclean limit of the archetypical correlated electron system SrVO 3 . The low temperature, low magnetic field transport was found to be dominated by anisotropic scattering, whereas, at high temperature, we find a yet undiscovered phase that exhibits clear deviations from the expected Landau Fermi liquid, which is reminiscent of strange-metal physics in materials on the verge of a Mott transition. Further, the high sample purity enabled accessing the high magnetic field transport regime at low temperature, which revealed an anomalously high Hall coefficient. Taken with the strong anisotropic scattering, this presents a more complex picture of SrVO 3 that deviates from a simple Landau Fermi liquid. These hidden transport anomalies observed in the ultraclean limit prompt a theoretical reexamination of this canonical correlated electron system beyond the Landau Fermi liquid paradigm, and more generally serves as an experimental basis to refine theoretical methods to capture such nontrivial experimental consequences emerging in correlated electron systems.
